The grumble thread

Sometimes it can help to just scream it out what's [Removed] you off....

I'll start...

As my "company" (aid relief, but behaving like a company) changed so many things.... Our teamleader was thrown out, is a normal co-worker now... The shiftplans are "planed" centrally now (I can't even say it's planned, that would imply it has a structure, but it's just like throwing [Removed] on a paper). The shiftplan is.... just no. We work our asses off, have plushours galore and the other watch has minushours. So they have freetime enough and we thought about putting containers on the watch to live there, because we don't know why we pay rent for our flats - we're hardly ever there!... And the best shifts are always given to the temporary workers who already have a very good job, so they get the extra amount on money instead of us....

Next week I can finally take my annual leave from LAST year (by law you have to take it by 31th march by exception... I got it excepted even longer. I'm so ready for a holiday!

My advice was only given in the spirit 'if you want to take it' mode.

All I'm saying and it's in hindsight now, reducing the dose over a period of time would have been better than stopping them entirely.

WIth you al the way @Anonymous 

China need to be stopped.  Read this article: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8372687/Ex-MP-Norman-Baker-argues-hit-against-China-contempt-way-life.html

Take a walk around any shop and take a look at where stuff is made.  So many cheap useless products are made in China.  Sold by a british company but made in China.  Let's give these contracts to UK companies and get the economy going again, and support british business.

I bought a few products from PoundStretcher last week, inclusing a grouting pen.  It didn't work and was not fit for purpose.  Where was it made?  China!!!!

Even my pants from Next are made in frigging China !

Doesn't always work even if they look like they have a UK address. I've had multiple items shipped from abroad when I thought they were UK based. I tend to look at locations as well and you soon know places in Leicester or London tend to be non-UK ones so I'm guessing warehouse locations/dropshippers. Oddly Manchester based ones in my experience tends to be genuine UK sellers and I haven't worked out why. 

Best clue is to look at the username and determine how ridiculous it is and then multiple listings from the same location with similarly ridiculous usernames gives the game away.

Also ignorant and selfish.
