You know what really grinds my gears? The Gears Strike Back

I dunno. I find cold standard tea rather refreshing.

Anywho, the Powerpoint on making hot drinks is in the drive under training.

Certainly better than ISO 3103.

Management trying to implement new methodologies and not communicating or training the business people 🤦

As a member of RAFAC, you should be well used to such an approach! :wink:

Aims of the ATC:

I went away with work for the first time when I was 18. Not knowing any better I thought that Earl Gray was just standard tea.

I put milk and 2 sugars in the cup… :nauseated_face:

One of my work colleagues drinks hers with milk… it’s vile without and I imagine it’s even worse with it! :nauseated_face:

I’d never had it before and on a cold morning at a station aged about 17 I asked for tea. They said they only had Earl Grey left, which I thought would be fine (I guessed it was just a brand or type of tea leaf).

A few sips in (with my milk and 2) I went back to the cashier and complained ā€œthis tastes lemonyā€. He wasn’t impressed.

Going to France, when allowed, is a pain; they seem to think all Brits only drink Earl Grey :nauseated_face:

Try telling any foreigner that you, as a Brit, don’t drink tea at all…

I don’t even want to think abut how many different types of tea I’ve got in my tea cupboard… :see_no_evil:

Door to door leafleting.

99% of the time it is stuff I’m not interested in. Today I got a leaflet through from a Conservative candidate about the city council elections. I thought they would be suspending campaigning for a little longer but a quick Google suggests it’s now BAU apart from the day of the funeral.

Edited: fat fingers and pressed save too quickly.

Did I really just have my first Christmas 2021 advert???

Cash flow generator.

Wife had a crash last year when someone changed lanes on a roundabout last minute rather than take the exit. Liability in dispute and she’s been getting treatment ever since because she broke her wrist. Found out today that the insurers accidently admitted liability back in November be pressing the wrong button when the other side made a PI claim. They’ve kept it secret from us and our solicitor whilst trying to resile. If they’d informed the solicitor straight away it would have been simple to roll back. Heck I could have told them what to do. Just annoying that if I screwed up line that and kept it a secret from my client for five months I’d personally be looking at serious sanctions from the regulator.

At least I now have it in writing that they screwed up and still believe we are 100% not at fault so a negligence claim will be easy if necessary.

I wish you the best of luck! I’ve only ever had one crash and it wasn’t my fault (I stopped, person behind me wasnt concentrating and hit me). Happend a couple of years ago. Even though it wasn’t even my claim my insurance is about 35% more expensive looking at comparison website with it added Vs without. Bloody ridiculous.

Luckily I have the best part of 1000 RTA liability trials under my belt (with a 75%+ win rate) plus numerous applications where the insurers screwed up and needed me to get them out of the doodoo. They were trying to fob me off on the phone until they realised that I actually knew what I was talking about and then started taking it seriously. I try at all costs to avoid the ā€œI’m a lawyerā€ card when in a dispute with a company but sometimes it’s necessary.
