Carrs Billington rant

[wanton dwarf]

I had hoped that Brexit, and meaning the buck stops here, would have given us a higher quality of MP, but it hasn't seemed to have worked through the system yet. I think we need more Norman Tebbits.

There are enough people who voted for Brexit for it to mean whatever the people want.

It's just a matter of sticking together IF we have the choice to make a difference.

Conservatives are of no use, neither are Labour or Liberals. IF we had a workers & family party form .. that would solve most things, after all the senior civil servants & quangos were sacked & thrown out the UK.

That's very true, the VAT isn't added up either. They have opened a lot of new depots recently so maybe taken their eye off the ball.

Anybody else been told you need to pay for fertilizer up front. I phoned about some last week and that's what they said. My account is up to date and I've bought a lot off them in recent years.

Only ,9 bags

That type of billing isnt just a carrs thing, other big feed firms do it too. If your a good customer i think its a pee take being asked to pay up front unless they offer a big discount

Do they pay the manufacturers /importers up front?

Same with the returnable pallets. You try finding a lorry that’s interested in taking a load away.

If you were near Carrickfergus that wouldn’t be a problem.

Emailed head office to tell of my disappointment and ask to see the risk assessment (@Ffermer Bach ) and have now received a most comprehensive and reassuring email from "general manager". It's pretty long and drawn out but I've copied and pasted it in its entirety.

"Please can you contact the store to discuss"

Sounds like they couldn't give a sh!t at head office Great times ahead

Hmmm the good old days when the Pallet Police turned up ….guy in a truck with a list of names and addresses of Pallet hoarders…
Some folk seem to treat their pallet stack as a trophy…..curious to find a stack maybe 20ft high round the back of a shed somewhere…

Someone collecting for the blue pallet people, turned up here once, went into my shed, turfed anything off that was on blue pallets, and had them away....

Non blue pallets sell for £2 plus around here, and they collect.

If they do they too will get a discount. The days of credit will soon be gone

On the news yesterday, a lady has been told she can't have the Ukrainian she has offered refuge to because she doesn't have a stair rail. Don't know whether to laugh or cry at the state we have become.

Two friends (ladies) got together to offer two sisters with children refuge from Ukraine

First got turned down as the nearly new static caravan might be cold in the Winter (it was originally 6 month term anyway) and the other because they had a pond in their front garden

South Norfolk District Council - and this was after my friend had to find their own refugees to apply for

Minus the sneaky damn credit charges and they lay it out in such a fashion that you have to double or triple check your paying the amount WITHOUT it

I'm not with Carr's but with Bibby, but the same billing system though. When the bill comes in the post, i highlight the amount before the credit charge with a highlighter pen. I have been known to pay the full amount a few times when paying bills late at night.

I don't think it is Health & Safety as such, it is our, stupid British idea of copper plating all the regulations, and making them far more onerous than they need to be. I remember at work, I used to dread when a manager would say "it would be good practice to....." as I knew they would be looking at the rules we had to comply with, and then adding to them to be on the safe side (usually making things unworkable). We as a country aren't a country of shopkeepers, rather a county of bureaucrats and if I was going to pick one character from the TV to represent the UK it would be air raid warden Hodges from Dad's Army unfortunately! That's why in Little Britain "computer say's no" had such a resonance with everyone watching.

yep this , you forget these regulations mean jobs , Blairs legacy to the working world , for all the paid for uni kids , It made a major contribution in us leaving the EU as they wrongly got the blame for all this enforced regulation.

A country of benefit cheats , drug dealing money launderers more like .

And that’s just the police.
