yea... i used to work in retail...
someone got aggro with me and i explained i didn't have to talk with them in their state of mind, excused myself and walked off..... they just stood there in bewilderment... like or
(i was a supervisor btw...) after a few mins i went back, and they apologised and were calm. Management said it was fine as well.

hmm.. if i remember right.. if you've ever sold the product in question in your store, the customer could exchange it.. but not refund it regardless of receipt or not.

paul,

you missed out:

- when driving through moss side, redlights are not applicable

- the princess park way is 50mph (and in truth some of it is) except for the 15m stretches where there are speed cameras, where it is mandatory to see how close to the camera you can get before jamming the anchors on.

.

AOh lock your boot too – there was a spate of car booting a bit back. - As you sit at traffic lights a skally runs up, empties your boot and runs off.

[/QUOTE]

Got me thinking this did. Most days I have my laptop in the boot. Both doors and boot were set to open simultaneously from remote - never had any operating problems. Used the SatNav setup to change setting to independant boot unlock this am - now boot does not open at all, even with the key :bang: Reset system to original all-unlock, still no joy. Just realised - was this unnecessary anyway? I always drive with doors locked from inside using the arm rest button -would this also lock the boot on the original setting?

Car booked into Ancasters Catford (where I bought it) for Friday to deal with clutch judder so boot lockup is added to the list. Has anyone experienced clutch judder on selespeed before? Occurs when accelerating from crawling speed in 2nd only eg when not quite stopping when entering a roundabout - more noticeable when under load on a hill or with passengers.

Oh I was a new face at Brooklands - nice to meet those I met and howdy doody everyone else.

Thats exactly the way to drive around Manchester, and there are great little short cuts around Rusholme and Fallowfield that sometimes, im convinced, save me about half an hour!

On a slightly off-topic note, be careful whilst walking around Rusholme, happy slapping has taken off big time!

Happy slapping?

Its normally groups of black people walking down the road then slapping some random person. I saw it happen twice at the weekend in Rusholme, and it happened to one of my friends a few months ago.

Heres an article in the Guardian, they think its getting more sinister.

Bastards....

I have heard of that, just not the name it was given.

I know this is still OT

this happy slapping has been around for around 8 months

My friend at work came back from visitin his brother in london, it was a group of 8 guys originally, basically slapping people and recording it on there phones.

Went from slapping asleep people on the bus, to people walking in the park, then running off.

I myself have around 4 videos of this my self.

The ones reported are a lot moer violent than the orignal ones I have on my phone.

But its only expected to get more voilent


*** Edit , happy Slappers is a name I think the Media have given them, it was orignally just called Slapz ****

i shan't tell you what i'd do in revenge.. so you can't blackmail me or shop me to the cops

Lol You think manchester town centre is bad you wanna try driving round my end on match days!! May it be crickit or football it is hard to even get out of my street!! Even on the bike!! But i find chorlton town centre to be worse than manchester town centre for some reson. I know what you meen Smurf i have many people like that come into my store!! The till girls shout me over to ask if we can take anything back and when i say no the pricks start throwing threats across!! I find it kinda funny!! Some guy said he was gonna come back and shoot me because i would not let him into my store at ten past 8, we close at 8. He never came back tho, i was gutted, lol it would have been interesting.

Hi James - any chance you can post a thread in the Stilo section, may get a better response.

i hate clearing out time. 2 weeks ago I was in on my regular shift on a Sunday working til 6 and as always, the store closes at 4pm. I turned down one of our aisles at 4:30 and there is a bloke there with about 8 doors on an a-frame trolley! eek! he was not pleased when I turfed him out. Service desk chicks wouldn't put it on a SAP order either because it comes up on their unpaid order report and the tills were balanced. lol.

Anyway, I have to disappear to IBST some cladding and tiles from Glasshoughton.

I know what you meen!! That is why i am happy to work in a toffy shop instead of the big places!! Not as many hiding places!! I am on nights at the moment ready for a big visit!!

for those people who are in manchester.

Just doing some promoting for a charity event mainly for guys. Aqua bar friday night between 5 - 7 mud wrestling. around £4.50 on the door all going to charity you know ya want to!

So today girls mud. get to ogle for a good cause.

just put it in this thread since some relevance to manchester and couldnt be bothered making a new one.

Sounds fun but i am working!! Oh well i intend to make up for it on sat!!
