The one in the Brooks factory is very interesting, as are the Brompton episodes.

[QUOTE 5003801, member: 21629"]I will be on 6am to 2pm shift from next week. I HATE getting up so early.

At least my supervisor is very friendly. And colleagues. And other staff. And pace is "nobody rushes here". And work is only 5 minutes by bike from home. And wages are good (for me). And we can enjoy free coffe and tea. And ...[/QUOTE]
Free Tea? Wow. That sounds like a nice place to work, just generally.

We get free tea/coffee too, only vending machine stuff but it's still a nice touch.

There is also a 'posh' 45p option that I occasionally treat myself to.

While I've been off they have gotten rid of the posh one and replaced it with an even posher one, it now costs £1

As I open my last tin of Uncle Joe's Extra Strong mints, my thoughts turn to restocking at the weekend, possibly in that fine establishment known as Home Bargains

MrsP away at sunrise on a four days retail therapy expedition. Me and the dogs have mostly been eating Haslet today for breakfast and lunch. Very nice on a toasted hot buttered cheesy-cob with a smear of piccalilli. Lamb neck-chops casserole for tea.

Went for a ride. Got drenched to the skin and my shoes were sloshing. I'd like a word with whoever compiled the forecast today.

Great job isn't it, they are on a par with politicians

That would explain so much.

Yep, I'm back. I may have had a surfeit of seafood.

Thoroughly enjoyed the break, you can't beat a swim, sauna and hot tub to get you going in the morning. We seemed to avoid the worst of the weather, and spent much time on quays, beaches and coastal nature reserves - when we weren't stuffing ourselves with fish and watery critters that is. Had a six course tasting menu at the ponciest restaurant west of Southampton, spent last night out in Poole with a good old school friend and finished off today with a potter through the New Forset, a detour up to Uffington to see the big horse (most impressive) and dropped in for a cuppa with my brother in Oxford.

We are most relaxed.

On top of free tea or coffee, bean to cup, filter or cheap granules if thats your thing I also get 3 meals a day, my own personal khazi and shower aswell as my own tv and internet. All I have to do to qualify for these freebies is that I have to live there for a week at at a time which is why they also throw in a free bunk

Are you a lighthouse keeper, Salty? I've always meant to ask.

Like the cut of your jib sir......yeah, you saw what I did there....

I want a second opinion from the Prof.

She says she'll give you one after she's finished her G&T

Why is it that the weather peeps get the bad weather right and the good weather wrong?
