They must be real pair of armholes!

Ashamed to be related to the pair of them if I'm honest. Over the years their selfishnese has known no boundaries

Watching a film (rubbish), well not me but the wife I'm messing on the laptop, losely about a golfer. Ended up with a putt to win a comp. Film ended. "Did he make the putt" (coz I didn't hear a roar from the TV). "You have to go online to find out"

SERIOUSLY !!!!!?????????

 

[BrianM]

So, these people have gone camping and left that mess behind them when they went?
Is that what the photo is supposed to have us believe?
Well, I don't.
I don't believe the campers have gone home.
Why would they leave their tents and all that other equipment?
I bet they're all still asleep, inside their tents.
My guess is that it's fake news to fit an agenda.

You better believe it’s happening, shocking up the North West at the moment.
Loads of wild camping and leaving all their crap behind.

My siblings whining & moaning they have had to help my dad get to his numerous hospital appointments he's had and has coming up for treatment. Via text telling me I need to step up and do more and be a proper son. I live 170miles away, have young children who cannot go to school due to their ages and covid restrictions plus I am working full time and have been throughout. They both live 10mins from our parents, have no children that need looking after and both have no work commitments.

I'd love to do more I really would and my dad knows this as we speak 3 times a week, but he himself acknowledges its not possible and hates relying on them as they make it known its a chore ?.

I used to share your pain, you have my sympathy.

Using deep heat to alleviate sore hamstrings, but getting a bit too liberal with the application and now certain areas of my anatomy are warmer than they should be...

Fair to say you ballsed it up?

Because a lot of tents are now so cheap they are viewed as disposable. Glastonbury have to get rid of 1000s of tents every year because people can't be bothered to take them away.
Loads of counties have been reporting the same in the papers.

Why would they lie, and what is their agenda?

But why zip them up before they are abandoned?
I just can't see it happening, but maybe I'm just too cynical.

Why would a spokesperson of the Queen lie.

Leaving camping kit and rubbish is a very regular occurrence in the Loch Lomond area.
Too much money not enough conscious

Maybe they are away with the fairies ?

they well be but not sure you should be crapping and lighting fires in a cemetery... or camping for that matter

Not in disagreement. More referring to the legends of Tomnahurich.

As I understand it they just believe that suitable controls are needed to prevent misuse of the data. That seems fundamental and shouldn't be asking too much to ensure the data protection act is complied with. For example, I have seen reports of women being pestered/propositioned by bar staff misusing the contact details that were left for track and trace. That is unacceptable.

And is surely a breach of data protection or terms and conditions of employment, therefore warranting a warning / disciplinary. One or two of those and people usually fall in line.

I have three Philips rechargable shavers/razors. A standard electric razor, a beard trimmer and a oneblade. All with different chargers with different outputs! And the voltage on the charger is imprinted black on black so a bugger to read. Solved with a Dymo label maker but it would be nice for Philips to have some consistency.

The DfT.

They have insisted on introducing a new computer programme that we have to use; a process that used to take me 3 minutes tops will now take around 30 once I get used to it. It has less functionality than the ones it replaces and with everyone working from bedrooms & attics we cannot share knowledge like we could have done in the office. Utterly ridiculous decision to introduce it now.

I have been into 2 golf clubs since this was introduced where I gave my contact details. I am aware someone could collate these, send marketing messages etc and use them in the way they were not intended. The example Kaz gives is utterly wrong and to my mind is a minimum written warning, potentially sackable offence. However, in the current circumstances things are a little rough and ready around the edges and the priority is more about health, getting the system out there, than annoying calls. Block the number, report the offender. Not ideal but the situation is not normal and we may have to accept rough and ready right now.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Easy for you to say about a scenario you will never experience while denigrating people for expressing legitimate concerns about a policy that hasn’t been properly thought through.

What a pompous reply. How do you know it is something I will never experience or never have experienced? I would rather everything was water tight but if you think GDPR is going to stop an idiot making nuisance calls when data is there in front of them then you are kidding yourself.

Come on mate, what if the people sold the numbers on to the media (phone hacking ), sexual predators or the like? It really isn’t as straightforward as simply blocking numbers and moving on.

They may not even know were the information came from.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Oh get off your high horse. it’s pretty obvious who is affected by the situation I described and it isn’t men.

There is only one of us on a high horse and it is not me.

Sexual harassment, stalking and indecent unsolicited contact happens to men as well.

People who are going to do that are not going to be stopped by GDPR. People who do that are bad people who do not worry about such things. I agree it is a potential problem but dying from Covid is a greater worry imo and at the moment track and trace takes first place in the list of importance.
