Random Irritations

Football shirts, does anybody else apart from kids, chavs and Newcastle fans actually wear them? ?

I do, but only when I'm playing football, or going for a run since I don't actually have a lot of other sports t-shirts. I don't really wear them casually. Used to wear one when I was going to the match but I don't go anymore.

Years ago my grade was banded and given Performance related pay .. which No1 gets ever

Every year of the pay deals if we get a rise we get our letters claiming that rise is our PRP for meeting targets lol become an in joke now

Civil Service?

Public service but not civil lol

It's something of nothing really years ago LUL made my grade banded as it's technically it's a managers grade even though you don't directly manage staff. You just manage all the managers on the line at once to provide the best real time service along with running the railway

It's something of nothing .. however only time it's caused friction is grades below get their PRP and get to top of band which puts them close to our rates. That's not the issue but if they get promoted to us they have to have 4.5% rise for promotion or something so they go in mid band above someone who's been in my job say 10 years who can never move up the band

Luckily it happens very rarely as it's a 90% failure rate for training so issue doesn't rear it's head much ...also those in the grades below who get PRP are near retirement now so don't want the hassle. The young ones want to come up but their low band so they just get the flat rate

Infact I can remember last time it happened in our room 2013. When we upgraded the signallers were all trained up. But their grade was only 2k a year less for much much more responsibility. The trainer's however of that grade were on more than the basic so got banded in, always wind them up how they should train the new people on signals earn their extra .. they always bite ,???

Anyone over the age of 16 should be banned from wearing one

That's going to make the standard of the Premier League drop a bit

I wore one up until the age of 61, what does that say about me?

My company sending out bogus test phishing emails, which I spot every time. I understand the need for security but it's getting on my wick!

You are joking aren't you? I'm still waiting for a refund from Shamazon from May, and I have two items that we've given up trying to return to them. Once the refund is sorted the account will be permanently closed.

This really surprises me, had absolutely no issues with Amazon ever, delivery driver put a Henry the hoover cleaning set and kitchen door child catches in our blue bin when we were away last week, full refund straight away and we just re-ordered.

I'm amazed. Returned my Callaway carrybag last year and the flosser will be going back tomorrow. Opted for the print the label at the shop option as I have no printer.

What are you trying to return to them? Was it from a seller on Amazon or Amazon themselves?

A month after filing a claim after an item was delivered damaged, their claims department sent me an email advising me to return it as per the sellers instructions. The seller has had it back since the end of May according to Post Office tracking, & Shamazon were told as much at the time of the initial claim and in a further follow up comment on the claim report on the 8th of July with a link to the Post Office tracking. Still waiting.
