By-election poll

Unless I'm missing something isn't this already happening albeit on a small scale.

Leave him alone in his bubble obviously never had the joys of trying to understand a worker in India trying to get their message across.

 

[Brigadier]

Do you think throwing in congestion charge, tax on alcohol and tobacco plus sugar tax is in any way relevant

More examples of charges to change peoples' behaviour, so yes.
What you and I see as relevant will differ.
Doesn't make either of us correct.

to derail a thread

See above.

if I don’t want to engage with that idiot, I won’t

And "STFU" isn't engaging?

Like it or not, this ain't your forum, and ain't your thread.
Get yourself worked up about it, or don't.

My daughter sees the upside when she drops the kids off at school, not sure the those hanging on the telephone quite see it in the same manner

Your daughter is at risk of losing her job not because she's working-from-home, but because she's tossing it off.

Because you've got nothing of any worth to post, you try and play the man instead.

And fillyboy is there to metaphorically give you a reach-around when you do

 

[Mottie]

And "STFU" isn't engaging?

No. That’s the end of any engagement.

I just hang up on them.
They're mostly scamming anyway.
If those are the jobs we're losing to abroad, they weren't worth worrying about in the first place, imho

[Brigadier]

Ditto.

Ditto what?

I already said it applied equally to me.

Really? People are put on hold until she drops the kids off and comes back? That is poor.

Not much chance of that happening, the place would go to ratsh*t without her input.

 

[noseall]

My daughter works from home and if she is to be believed she sees the downside

I'm sure she's not alone. Conversely, all the folk I have spoke to, that continue to work from home since the Covid lock-downs, said their company prefers it. In fact, it's an absolute boon, as there is usually a member of the household at home during the day. Saves the country billions.

Is it because you've never been a valued employee you can't understand how a boss can make allowances for a valued employee who more than makes up that shortfall while she drops them off 5 minutes away.

 

[denso13]

The people hanging on the phone must be delighted. Terrible customer service,

 

[SirGalahad]

So STFU about tobacco, alcohol and sugar tax. It's **** all to do with congestion charge either you idiot. Uxbridge is not even in the congestion charging area. It’s about the expansion of the ULEZ.

I'm not even going to respond to anything further from you in this thread, you argumentative waste of space!
