Random Irritations

Nando's is excellent, how dare you. Not posh but nice food that's inexpensive, ideal for meeting with friends for a quick bite.

I'm not bothered about posh food, I have no airs and graces there. I just found it bland and that is a food crime. Dull chicken, cardboard chips. They have done a great marketing campaign with it, targetting younger people via social media so fair play to them but the actual product is hugely disappointing. Loads of other chains I would choose ahead of there now if I wanted the equivalent.

The good news for you is that I am one less person taking up a seat and a table when you want to go there with your mates (y)

You must have gone to a dodgy branch. I always enjoy their chicken, and the chips are usually good too. It does sit in a sort of niche though I suppose, fractionally above a fast food place, but below actual restaurants. :D

I've actually never bought anything from eBay (please don't get "upset" now like my colleagues got when I told them that I had never been to Nando's, 2 years after moving to the UK), so not to worried about it.

I went into a Nandos once, to see what it was like. I looked at the menu, the set up, the food others were eating, the mess on the floor, the general terrible ambience, and walked out. I went to the pizza place opposite, and had nice food, in a nice place, ordered from, and delivered to my table, by a lovely waitress. The food was good, and the service excellent. That is eating out.

My biggest issue with Nando’s, is that nobody seems to be able to have one without it being “cheeky”!

I assume both the lads are still being paid though (maybe its an option to offer to take no pay for the remainder of notice period)

Otherwise it could still impact any reference (& you never know if you might need to return one day)

Exactly this for me... can't take a "cough" extended sicky, as though I'm leaving I'm staying with the same company and relocating to Lincoln with them so I'd only be doing myself no favours..

Shame I'd love some early morning golf them home to pack but alas sit at work bored
 
Ticket booking fees. Two tickets to see the Specials. "Facility fee", "Booking fee", VAT on both. Bloody rip-off.
Still, they are one hell of band - saw them a couple of years back and thought they were magnificent.
 
British Gas / Hive - Customer Service. I needed a refund on an over-charge. Sent three emails since early Oct ; all acknowledged and say reply within 72 hours - no replies. On to web (no email available) - enter 'Chat' service at queue position 10, 15 minutes, position now 7, 15/20 mins, position 5, +20mins position back to 8 (how does that work?), further 15 mins position 5, so then same process with queue positions going to 6, 5, 4 and 1.

So after 2 hours get an agent who says can't answer your question as we have no access to 'accounts' ring tomorrow !!

Rang today & after 25min wait told "please email us" !!!!. Me 'But you don't answer' " BG... yes I can see that". "BG."... email us copy of quote and we'll refund in 28 days" --- me 'But why didn't you say that in October and why 28 days?' BG "...It's our system we can't refund to Cards we only refund by cheques and that 28 days"

Two minutes after sending email I receive an email enclosing a Customer Service Survey !!! -I'm off to the Range to give 90 balls a thrashing!
 
got back from golf, stuck my bag by the bag door, only for Rupert to come out give it a sniff then cock his leg up the side of it and pee all down one side.... little bugger
