At a push I'd say at least 50% of the personal phones on the floor are iphones as well. Every time i'm in the office all I hear in the background is "anyone got an iphone charger?" or "can i borrow your iphone charger" or any such variant of that. I always keep a spare in my work bag as I have a few of them at home due to various devices. It annoys me that other people aren't as organised. When they borrow it, they never bring it back, I have to go over to their desk and get it at the end of the day. Makes me angrier than it should. I've reached the point now where I'll fully charge both my phones in the morning and not take it in! This, plus people who walk around on 8% battery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly confident she’s a sleeper agent for the Red Army Faction. Thinks Mick Lynch is a bit bourgeoise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we could have walked off in to the non tourist areas a few miles away and saved another pound in a mini mart, but if I was looking for maximum savings I wouldn’t be eating magnums. I’d have taken a packed lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the avoidance of doubt, I was with someone! Incidentally, that someone got hit on for a date 3 times whilst in my company. Oh to be young in the sunshine in London, with your apps turned on. Me? Nothing all day, not even a randy MP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 So today was the first day of winter that it rained all day,and of course we had to put the car in for a service and water pump replacement and spend a good part of the day wandering about in the rain.The forcast for the next 3 days is cloudy and then sunshine again.So, we picked,virtually the only rainy day to go out for most of the day. Brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
