Shower gels were £1 each in my A but didn't produce the desired result. I got a measly 67p APG. Still, I bought them with a £4.88 womble, so nothing lost

That's ripe for a DeeDee on cc/hd for your store.

Hear hear Karlie :T :T

I've also seen a lot of what Karlie's posted about. Let's also not forget too the admin staff who get volleys of abuse from patients because they haven't had letters giving their scan results because you've got two months worth of typing to do, ten very urgent clinic letters to type, a phone that never stops ringing, consultants and juniors at your desk 20 times a morning wanting you to type this, type that and type the other, reception staff and nurses coming to you because a patients notes don't have a referral letter or previous clinic letter in them, GP surgeries ringing you all the time to get the fax number for your office that is written on the letter they've just got your phone number from and tons more.

Then you've got the supervising of the support staff, checking their work, listening to their dictations for difficult words because the person dictating is holding the machine right against their mouth and their words are mixed up with heavy breathing, nine times out of ten those dictation so are done by staff who's first language is not English. Then you've got management breathing down your neck because we haven't been sent a scan result that was performed in a different hospital, or you have to drop everything to deal with a complaint. All the while you're still trying to do your job too

Let's also please not forget that very often, those admin staff are disgustingly understaffed and are normally covering for other people, as well as their own jobs.

We get shoured at by patients because we can't give them an appointment tomorrow. We get shouted at because their appointment has been cancelled for a more urgent patient. We get yelled at when our consultants are on leave so can't deal with them there and then. We get yelled at because switchboard have put them through to us instead of where they need to be, we get yelled at because they've not recieved a letter for their appointment.

We also get yelled at when a letter is sent to the address that we have been given for them, they are expecting a letter but don't think to tell us that they've moved house :mad:

Admin staff across the NHS are at breaking point. We get more and more "responsibility" and unreasonable demands from managememt, for very little pay. Most admin staff don't get any more than £20 K a year.

And still we go to work every day, and struggle on. Why? Because we actually do give a toss and try our best. Every day.

So next time you pick up the phone and get shirty with the secretary or receptionist, maybe please try and remember that we can only do our best. We are sorry that our best isn't good enough. If it isn't good enough for you, spare a thought that it won't be good enough for us either

She was quite the first few days but she is now settling down and she is quite affectionate so I am very pleased. I have arranged with the vet for her to be neutered and to have her vaccinations etc and I am very pleased she is using her litter tray! Her name was tinsel I asked the Vet if I could change her name because she is now 10 months old he laughed and said yes it the tone of voice they respond to, so now her name is Roxy

Roxy is a lovely name.

She will be like one of the family and a lovable friend for you now you need a glitch on cat stuff

Glad she is using her litter tray.

Happy Birthday PD. Hope you had a really lovely day.

Awesome posts from QOC and KARLIE.

I think a lot of front line staff get abuse (not as scary as what Karlie's colleague got may I add) and it's not really on. Thankfully I have bandit glass in front of me when I deal with my clients. But the amount of abuse my colleagues and I get is astonishing.

I guess people think their problems are so huge that they don't give two hoots about the person who is helping them and what they might also be going through.

Oh, before I go, I noticed Birds Eye Crispy Chicken 2 pack at 84p on msm for M - been showing that since Sunday night (of course wouldn't have been picked up by APG that early). They are not on my M list though - and you may be wondering about this omission. Why? And is it a deliberate omission as somehow not considered good enough?

Answer is that they are showing offer labelling in both my Ms - offer label says 2 pack "Birds Eye Southern Fried/Crispy Chicken Grills" and price of £1.

However I note they are showing 84p on m.com. Are they going through at 84p in M? No idea, as I am unable to scan every item and delve behind what labels say.

I was really looking forward to them being 84p a pack though and comparing to that on APG. If someone wants to buy one and see if the APG compares to £1 or 84p - this is only the Crispy Chicken 2 pack, not the Southern Fried - then please do so! Please let me know what M result returns! As for me, I would buy them (in A) if they were 84p for M but not if they are £1. Maybe the offer label, covering both versions at £1, is wrong again - like the Aunt Bessie one appears to be:think:. However there are several places in M in which the Crispy Chicken (showing 84p on m.com and msm) is priced with the £1 price.

TIA.

Omission explained. Off out now - seeya later!:D

Compared at £1 on my HD on Monday. Was hoping for 84p too. Hth
