Quorn. Have had a gripe before about their products. In supermarket today and woman in front had a packet of "vegan chicken free slices". Yes they are chicken free but so is a cabbage. I have made the mistake of looking at their website tonight. Most of what they are selling is either made to look like meat or meat products and promotes it by using the words chicken, ham, beef even fish (quorn battered fishless fillets). If it doesn't contain any of the aforementioned, don't use it in the description of what you are trying to sell! Fungus burger isn't going to sell much so I see why they are doing it. Must be verging on being taken up by trading standards as being illegal.
Vegetarian beef roast WTF!

Statements? WTF? Trade with a company now and increasingly they send out “statements” irrespective of whether invoices are outstanding. Worse still sometimes (ripon farm services) the statement contradicts the actual invoices. What a waste of paper.

I got one today. Thought I'd missed an invoice. But it says I owe 0.00. So its another pointless communication to clog the system and raise my blood pressure slightly.

Moronic tv programmes.

According to “Supermarket secrets” a lot of time is lost queuing.

Wow.

Who watches pish like this and learns something? Prime time bbc 1.
 
ADVERTS ADVERTS!! I.m sick to death of adverts , both on tele , where they seem to take up more screen time than the actual programme . Those adults talking like children advertising gummy sweets make me cringe . And the toothpaste ads , where the dopy bird with the toothy smile says "My teeth are really clean etc " Possibly even worse are the ads on my mobile , despite having an ad blocker installed . Google seems to be all - pervasive , popping up anywhere and everywhere . I recently changed my busted GalaxyS8 for an S9 , and I'm sure I never had this Ball-ache with the old one . If I use Samsung's own browser , it's page is filled with "Three " ads , likewise Chrome . I use "3" as my carrier and don't have a problem with them that way , but I've rung their so- called helpline in Banglaford , spent long enough listening to a no doubt charming bird , whose first language demonstrably isn't English . No help at all , uninstalled their app , still no joy . Done the on-line form fill with all that bull , and given them permission to call me to try to resolve the problem . No call either . Tried presumably the ultimate - asked for a migration code - nothing - zilch, Sweet FA Now what to do next ? Pizzed-off ? Right . Trouble is that they don't have a local shop that I can park near , and in a pedestrianised area too , that lets that out too.

You musta been in ballymena last Saturday?? had a look round when I was lifting sheep on wed afternoon and I have to say I think it was possibly the biggest pile of scrap yet in the machinery auction
Yes I wasted last Saturday there. As usual the scrap made stupid money and stuff that was in reasonable shape didn't sell. I tried to sell a trailer and a haybob, I brought them home again.
