They'll just sell smaller versions of everything I suppose. Or save money elsewhere. Pay the till operators less!

I used to love Poundstretcher as a kid, but it's lost it's footing since the advent of pound shops. Shame.
What's with all these Cash Generator shops everywere?
Crammed with DVD's and old bikes and watches and guitars
I'm positive half their stocks comes direct from house burglars.
Dya know DVD box sets? Does anybody else put the disk you are currently up to , back in the box the wrong way round , so you know where your upto next time?
Or is that just me?
How long is it acceptable to sulk by email to make a point?
Don't know.
Not so long that they think you've died?
They know I'm still alive. I'd just like them to know that I'm extremely pissed off with them but its not always easy to communicate that via email or email silence.
It depends how quickly you usually reply to them. If somebody who answers me quickly, doesn't, I wonder if I've pissed them off. If somebody pisses me off (and I usually reply quickly)I think 'Bugger you! and don't answer in the hope they'll realise.
Spoke to them face to face on 11th. I followed up with an email the same evening. An email finally appeared yesterday morning to which I replied within 20 mins. A response to that appeared within another 20. I've now sat on my hands for 24 hours. Partly because I'm cross that this work is so unimportant to him that its just gets ignored and now that he's ready to proceed I've got to drop everything to fit in. Partly because now I've got the official bit of paper which tells me my job ends on 31st July and I'm now caught up in having to legal advice on the agreement, talk to people about job applications and references and (thankfully) attend interviews which means I can't easily tie down a time to meet.
I know what you mean, KLRiley.
It is hard to convey irony/anger/other emotions via the written word.
Ha. Ha.
No, its the degree of pissedoffness that I'm trying to get through to this individual.
I think dignified silence until the diary shapes up.

I'm actually at my best with the written word. Many are the 'Nasty letters which get results' that I have written, the most recent being one to Morrison's when the cashier had failed to give me my cashback (and I didn't notice) and was given the runaround by a large numpty when I went back. My letter provoked such an immediate response from the manager that I was wakened by the phone call first thing in the morning. Do love writing letters of complaint!
I think Mr T. might be the anti-christ
The A-Team finished about 30 years ago but he doesn't look a day older.
I'm playing my Gavin and Stacey game.
Basically it's on TV now and what I do is I sit here and I say , "right , you know I think your a pile of unfunny SHIT, but prove me wrong, make me laugh, just once"
still waiting....
Give it another five mins maybe

It's nice to write letters of thanks and praise too. One company I wrote to letting them know how impressed I was with how they dealt with a problem wrote back, thanking me for my thank you, because they don't usually get them.
