I think they must return them to the manufacturers who reuse the chocolate for selection boxes. Last delivery of Easter Eggs is usually the Wednesday and thats just depots clearing out what they have. Today is when we slash the prices right down to get rid of what shite is left and we get ready for usually a baby event and then Summer event. First actual Easter Eggs come in building around end of January. Easter stuff first comes in third week of December. Right now I'm looking at sales of last years Halloween Shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 It's a type of stackable eurocontainer or eurobox. There are a multitude of variants. I thought these were outlawed in UK after Brexit.......... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hurricane Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 If I work a standard 5 x 8h shift pattern (with reasonable flexi time given), can my employer force me to stay past my finish time.on a given day? For example, I was on a 10-6 today and was told I had to stay later to clear the phone lines. This was obligotary and not by choice and I didnt finish until quarter to 7. No extra pay for this albeit the 45 mins will go on my flexi sheet and can be claimed back down the line. Can they actually enforce this over and above contracted hours? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 They can't force you to stay, that would be kidnapping. If you're in a union, ask them, if not join one, and then ask them. Or check your contract, if there's flexi time it might work both ways. I'm not current with general workers rights and protections, especially since Brexit and whatever's happened to the working time directive, but if you got told to work beyond your scheduled hours without reasonable notice and you weren't given a choice, that would look like unfair working practices to me. Worker's rights have gone to shit though since union membership has fallen away along with their legal protections. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit confusing as you say 5x8 hrs then add in you have reasonable flexi time so they're a bit contradictory. Normally, any additional hours would have to be agreed but it all depends how the contract details the flexi time element. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingRocketman II Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 within the context of time travel, is a letter an effective form of communication? BTTF2, Doc sends a letter from 1885 to Marty in 1955. However in that timeline in which the letter exists, Doc would have died before Marty received it in 1955..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I worked the checkouts at a supermarket as a teenager, a few times they would be closing the store and I was 2 minutes from the end of my shift, and someone would show up with a trolley piled high. I often worked the extra 10 minutes serving them. No flexi, no overtime and no thanks. Somerfield - I do not mourn its passing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Was just sorting passports for my kids there. Wasn't until I was writing the envelopes to send there documents in that I realised they are both being sent to totally different passport offices. What's the craic with that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The government knows something you seem to be unaware of. One of the kids isn't actually yours so went to his real dads local passport office. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being a time traveller myself, I can't say for certain but I can't think of any alternative in 1885. IIRC, he sent the letter as soon as he arrived in 1885 but was shot a week later. Even if he had not been shot, is it likely he would still be around 70 years later? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
