Has Marc P been around recently? Only I haven't seen him patrolling the boards with his Pun Gun set to stun for a while.
Yes he has.
Is there a limit to how much work that someone can be given to do? I think so!

Nobody likes a moaner.
I'm not moaning, that's the issue. Maybe I should tell them to STOP FUCKERS!
What is the correct etiquette when paying by debit card, over the counter. Should I hand my card to the shop assistant or put it straight into the little machine myself?

You must there chipolata. I heard your phone bill proves it.

Depends what shop... if it's in front of you pop it in yourself!
If you're going to put it in the wrong way round like an annoying moron, let the shop assistant do it for you. Otherwise you'll hold up the effing queue.

Just hold it in your hand. They'll either direct you to put it in the reader or motion for you to hand it to them.
I've been to Slough today and visited the actual 'Slough Trading Estate' as featured in The Office opening titles. I think I saw the roundabout from a distance but can't be sure.
I went with work and my boss was driving and I caught a glance of a building that looked very like the office building itself. I understood it was actually a school in real life so I suspect it wasn't especially as all 60s buildings of that type essentially look the same.
