chrisp65 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I guess these would be the same sort of people that don't understand what CASH ONLY / CARDS ONLY / TAG ONLY written in red illuminated flashing letters a meter tall above various toll booths means.... Personally, if I see a toll booth with a sign above it that says TAG ONLY, what I tend to guess, is you need a tag to get through that one. I tend not to think, hmmm 'tag only' I shall queue here and attempt to pay with varied coin of the realm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's supposed to be simple wholesome food served on the street extremely cheaply because there are no overheads. However as is usual in the modern world it's become a bit trendy. A bit of a fashionable thing to buy and to sell. So suddenly as soon as you tag something as street food you can charge a HIGHER price for it. Drives me mad. Pop ups are a load of testicles as well pop up shops restaurants bars. Stuff and. Nonsense. For me all these kinds of things were invented for the expression "a fool and his money are often parted" YOU'VE JUST SPENT A TENNER ON A BURGER BECAUSE SOMEONE HAS WHACKED A BIT OF SHREDDED MEAT ON TOP OF IT Street food for me used to be that burger van at the top of Broad St by Bakers. Serving gristle laden BSE infected "meat" on a Spar shop bun to drunken revellers. Now you'll pay £10 for a hand ground beef patty served on an artisan brioche bun under an archway in Digbeth. Served by a Peaky Blinder lookalike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted May 11, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 11, 2016 Social events in our office. Not the events, they're fine, more people's reactions to them. Our team is more or less a 50/50 split between where people live. Half in the Birmingham/Solihull area and half in the Coventry/Leamington area. Social events are always held in Leamington, meaning us Birmingham lot have to trek all the way over and find a way back etc etc Which is fine, but if anything is ever held in Birmingham, all the Leamington lot moan about it. The girls in the office are trying to organise an event now in Birmingham and literally nobody who lives in the Leamington area is coming to it because it's not being held in leamington.

dAVe80 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I must admit, if a team night out is organised that isn't on my doorstep, I never go. Usually by the time we've had something to eat, and moved to which ever crap bar they want to go to, I've had enough. If I can't bugger off home, or go and meet my real friends, without having to pay for a taxi, then I'll just not bother going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) I'm so **** fed up of "men's rights activists". I put it in quotes, because 90% of the time they don't seem to be campaigning for positive changes for men, rather than being insecure sexist pieces of shit who just want to bitch anytime that women try to improve their lot. The most recent example is a woman who's objected to being sent home for refusing to wear high heels, which have a list of long-term health implications for feet. Fair enough. Read any comments about it, and it's full of dickheads saying stuff like "well I'd be sent home if I didn't wear a tie", as if: 1) These are in any way analogous 2) There's some sort of zero-sum game involved and anything that women fight for is going to negatively impact men somehow. Article extract, because the mods keep telling me off (hey, I remembered, it's sinking in) Quote A London receptionist was sent home from work after refusing to wear high heels, it has emerged. Temp worker Nicola Thorp, 27, from Hackney, arrived at finance company PwC to be told she had to wear shoes with a "2in to 4in heel". When she refused and complained male colleagues were not asked to do the same, she was sent home without pay. Outsourcing firm Portico said it set the uniform rules for staff supplied to PwC but would now review guidelines. 'Laughed at' Ms Thorp said she would have struggled to work a full day in high heels and had asked to wear the smart flat shoes she had worn to the office in Embankment. But instead she was was told she should go and buy a pair of heels on her first day back in December. "I said 'if you can give me a reason as to why wearing flats would impair me to do my job today, then fair enough', but they couldn't," Ms Thorp told BBC Radio London. "I was expected to do a nine-hour shift on my feet escorting clients to meeting rooms. I said 'I just won't be able to do that in heels'." Image copyrightGOOGLE Image captionThe office in Embankment where Nicola Thorp was told to wear high heels for work by Portico Ms Thorp said she asked if a man would be expected to do the same shift in heels, and was laughed at. She then spoke to friends about what had happened, and after posting on Facebook realised that other women had found themselves in the same position. "I was a bit scared about speaking up about it in case there was a negative backlash," she said. "But I realised I needed to put a voice to this as it is a much bigger issue." She has since set up a petition calling for the law to be changed so women cannot be forced to wear high heels to work. It has had more than 10,000 signatures, so the government will now have to respond. Is this legal? As the law stands, employers can dismiss staff who fail to live up to "reasonable" dress code demands, as long as they've been given enough time to buy the right shoes and clothes. They can set up different codes for men and women, as long as there's an "equivalent level of smartness". Read more here. "I don't hold anything against the company necessarily because they are acting within their rights as employers to have a formal dress code, and as it stands, part of that for a woman is to wear high heels," Ms Thorp said. "I think dress codes should reflect society and nowadays women can be smart and formal and wear flat shoes. "Aside from the debilitating factor, it's the sexism issue. I think companies shouldn't be forcing that on their female employees." Image copyrightNICOLA THORP Image captionMs Thorp said she did not blame the company involved but the law should be changed so women could not be required to wear high heels A Portico spokesman said: "In line with industry standard practice, we have personal appearance guidelines across many of our corporate locations. These policies ensure staff are dressed consistently and include recommendations for appropriate style of footwear for the role. "We have taken on board the comments regarding footwear and will be reviewing our guidelines in consultation with our clients and team members." A PwC spokesman said the company was in discussions with Portico about its policy. "PwC outsources its front of house and reception services to a third party supplier. We first became aware of this matter on 10 May, some five months after the issue arose," the spokesman said. "The dress code referenced in the article is not a PwC policy."
