tamthebam Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 We got taught to end French letters (fnarr) with "J'espere recevoir de tes nouvelles" Which I think means "I hope to receive your news" TomasLeSalaud, 'igher Francais, 1989.

jimbaxters Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Face masks worn below the nose. I can't decide if those who do it are stupid or making a point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDuffman Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 There's an old woman that works in my local Asda that has worn her mask on her chin for the last year. She either wanders around doing nothing or talks to her colleagues - all who can wear them properly.Also why do the new self service tills not automatically give you a receipt. Lost count of the number of times I'm standing there like a twat waiting on it and I've forgot to press yes I want a receipt. Why would you not want one. Imagine getting stopped at the door cause the alarm goes off [emoji849] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine getting stopped at the door cause the alarm goes off I saw an old woman in our local supermarket fruit and veg bit, lower her mask to lick her finger so she could open the plastic bag. Wonder why the numbers are going up?! Edited February 26, 2021 by jimbaxters 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine getting stopped at the door cause the alarm goes off I don't usually take one to be environmentally friendly and save paper. And some of the self service tills seem to have video cameras on them so presumably the tape could be played back if you were ever nabbed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine getting stopped at the door cause the alarm goes off I wondered that too, until I noticed that the door alarms at the Asda in Falkirk go off all the time and nobody ever shifts their arse to go and see if somebody's nicking something, so I guess the receipt (or payment) really isn't needed. This may have changed in the last couple of months, as they had someone on the door to give a token effort in asking people to wear a mask before letting them pass by regardless, so perhaps they're on security duty too (asking someone to stop when the alarms go off, before letting them pass by regardless). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to do that with the Radio Times until people complained. This is where the term 'Other listings magazines are available' originated as they had to put that on screen every time they did it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I right in saying that originally the Radio Times listed only BBC channels and the TV Times the commercial stations? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
