Random Irritations

The people receiving them certainly didn’t, so who exactly were these other people?

there were loads on social media including several who received the boxes. Even Saint Marcus Rashford chirped up abut it being 3 days of food for 1 family

I hadn't realised it was for all yr2 and below that could get the boxes, although one would hope its only those who need it are asking. my lad (yr2) has school dinners, he loves them! there is not even an option to pay for them, blanket free.

My wife's school sends out gift cArds (Sainsbury's)

Her mum's school get boxes and some parents choose not to have them because they have to go pick them up and they don't need them
 
The impact of lockdown on what is coming on TV. The filming on most of the series that I watch that would be starting up again soon has been delayed, there are there are now basically no new big name films coming on Sky Cinema as there has not been anything released for a while and so new stuff to watch on TV is now pretty limited (think I have 2 shows recording this week on my Sky planner).
 
It’s a shame people are so self centred.
Also works for those who are in poverty. Not having income doesn't exclude anyone from being self centred.

Having no money makes decisions count for more as there is a greater impact. £100 to spend? Food/Bus Ticket/Clothing/Gas/Electricity/PS Game/Smokes/Booze/Ladbrokes? Seen plenty of people make the wrong decision in my eyes when I was a bank manager in Leeds.

Had a lady once where she was behind on her mortgage payments. Tough times for her. She had an arrangement to pay a set amount for a period of time and had fallen behind on that. Turns out she wanted to go on holiday with the kids and was paying for that instead of the roof over her head. I explained as plainly as I could that she would lose her house if she didn't change tack. She chose not to. She lost her house. It beggars belief

Really? Below are his 2 Tweets, Only those with an agenda will read them saying he means the Whole Family.
Says more the Company, The Minister & PM have apologised and said they’ll sort it.D3BCF753-E85E-4E0F-ADA9-14CDF386A584.jpegF051F547-4990-4426-8592-71F84830BA30.jpeg
 
Clearly, for those with an agenda.:rolleyes:

One thing that really annoyed me was somebody on twitter comparing what they providing for free schools to what the same company have provided to private schools

It's irrelevant

The private schools aren't using tax payers money

They sign a contract with a company say their food is £50 a week and are charged £100 a week ... They might not care about it ...... Their happy with the meals.provided (and by the pics they did look nice)

However when tax payers cash gets involved you can't take the Michael

Not much different to taking one tweet with a picture and taking it at face value rather than the story behind the picture and who they are replying to.

Far better to deflect or deny than face the actual problem.

As long as we don’t claim extreme examples are the norm.
 
Can’t you read what he said?
Convenient you cropped his remarks leaving out the full stops, or maybe you don’t understand what a 3 dot ellipsis means and you patronising his name says more about you than him.

ok, here you go;
3 days of food for 1 family...
Just not good enough

Ellipsis are used to indicate that some text has been left out of a quoted sentence or passage. it removes information that the writer doesn't think is necessary.

i call him "Saint" because he harps on about how everyone should help out yet he is more than happy to utilise tax mitigation schemes - i know he is not the only one using them
