grendel Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I once got a telling off at work, I needed to do some work on the car, so threw an extension out of the window, out with the grinder and a few minutes later the work was done. I then got hauled up before the MD, and was told that I could not do that as I had been using the companies electricity (we were and electricity supply company). at this point I completely upset the MD in his telling off by fishing in my pocket, hauling out a 50p piece, slapping it on his desk, and saying , I am sorry I used the electric without firstly asking, will this cover the cost. all i got told was dont do it again as the MD hadnt prepared an argument to cover that eventuality. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the cost of colour matching the nail varnish that does it! All written in jest but with more than a ring of truth! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughan Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Strange, to be asked to sign a petition about the BA, started by Miles Weston! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I thought the change.org petitions were about getting things debated in parliament and sod all to do with BA, it's not something I want debated so won't sign it, I don't see it as a navigation hazard anyway so as much as I find it an eyesore I don't see it's any of my business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
