Sunset's about 10 to 4 in this neck of the woods.

Red sky at night, shepherd's delight. Should be a good day for being outdoors tomorrow.

True, we had a crimson orange sky as I rode back from work.

I think I'll join you.

Custard cream?

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Hmm...

Mind you, a supermarket is only as good as its manager. But if they're gift vouchers, then it shouldn't matter whether you spend them on tea or toasters...

Hmm, the duty manager blamed upper management for not notifying them that the exclusion had been removed. This might be true - I had a similar refusal at a different Tesco last week.

I don't think I can be bothered to write a formal complaint though...

Naah, you got it sorted eventually, so you may as well let it lie.

On the other hand, if you find a mouse hibernating in that red cabbage...

Custard cream?

Just the one then.

 

[Tenacious Sloth]

Thank God Adnams deliver.

Now have five cases of Ghost Ship in the garage.

Should keep me going until lockdown finishes.

Cheers!

Why, have you lost one?

Pot of homemade vegetable soup sitting simmering and have some nice crusty bread

 

[Reynard]

Just the one then.

*INCOMING*

Not me, but Lexi might have... Or was that her catnip cigar.

Great news today:

The staff Christmas party is cancelled.

I did try to look disappointed.

 

[LeetleGreyCells]

Just had to step out of the room to do a little happy dance (in silence). My painfully shy daughter just volunteered to play her violin (and then did, twice) in front of the rest of the online junior orchestra.

Had she heard me celebrating, she would have been all embarrassed and it would have been counterproductive. But still had to be done

The power to delete a thread eh?

Or another poster!

I won a victory over the duty manager who had to back down on initial refusals to honour the voucher for non-food goods, plus two apologies. Tesco seem to want to treat vouchers as food only vouchers which is not what they were - they're essentially gift vouchers. I got a turkey breast as a standby Christmas meal and a red cabbage because I fancy some braised red cabbage and apple.

I got the vouchers for participating in an ONS covid infection survey. The remaining 4x£25 vouchers will not be going to Tescos.

What'll you be using the apologies on/with?

Self-preening mostly
