BFTD Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Is that the stuff that was like greaseproof paper? They were still using that at the first primary school I went to. Didn't take long to work out that you hold your shites in until you get home but, in hindsight, you have to feel for the girls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Restaurants that have a booking system where you choose your time slot. If no slots available you fill out the request section with your preferred time, send it, get an immediate reply saying thank you, a member of staff will reply shortly. And of course they don't. Aye, that's you The Seaforth in Ullapool. Twats. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, that's you The Seaforth in Ullapool. Twats. I tried to book a hotel room in Ullapool a couple of weeks ago and there wasn't a single room available at any price, place has gone mad. Re restaurant booking, I always phone up, usually because there's a wheelchair with us but I don't trust these online systems anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverness is daft just now too - That's room only, another £11 for breakfast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed the Ferry Boat Inn has an A4 sheet of staff vacancies in their window, so I guess that might be the same for other places in town. Ah well, nothing like having a fish supper in a cold and wet Ullapool Saturday night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to book an Airbnb for the overflow of a big family gathering in September, mental prices, hardly anything under £250 per night. Still, cheaper than hotel rooms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now have had to send in documents to prove I am.who I say I am and gonna need to go back to sort the upgrade through the week at some point. Not a big deal having to wait a few days in the grand scheme of things, but majorly inconvenient and I was pretty irritated at the time. Would it not be easier to do it in the shop? That was me going into the shop. They couldn't accept my ID in store, had to upload it to a link they sent me, to which I've yet to hear back from them. I'll pop back in after work on Friday and see if they've sorted it. It's a pain in the arse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any problems when I go back and I'll be doing just that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
