(15 Jan 2016, 6:36 pm)Andreos1 Revel in the fact that you are the focus of someone's attention and don't let it get to you.What that man said [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]
If people are that insecure or bothered about you, let them get on with it.
It is is their own time/energy they're wasting. Don't waste yours.
If people believe the rumours, then more fool them.

I know who you are referring to, but all he is doing is keeping people updated. Not everyone is on or wants to join this forum!
Not everything is directed at you....

(15 Jan 2016, 4:20 pm)BusLoverMum This snow can just bog off now, please.Of all the places I went yesterday, it seemed like Wingate and the Trimdon's were the worst hit by the white stuff and yesterday's outing included Consett. The 21 was pelted by a fair few snowballs as we went through these areas.
It's turned to ice, today. Had a lovely, soothing, warm and much needed epsom salt bath after doing the walk, this morning. Sat down to have some lunch a little later, then got up to clean up and feed the washer. Only problem was I could barely reach the washer door. My lower back has all bus seized up.
I'm broken

East durham definitely the only place I've seen it, today. We caught the 21 this morning.
Looking forward to sliding home after a day of being able to walk freely. Not.

What's with all the "can I have a return from?" business recently? Tossers

Did it not occur to him that his actions might be a bit of a dealbreaker?

Working in Wrekenton today, I decided to nip to the Co-Op before I started, bloody took 5 minutes to get served. Queue was 10 people long when I left too.

Yeah, in my experience, the Co-Op aren't exactly quick to open up tills if there's more than a few people waiting. Some I've been in, such as Haydon Bridge, have self-service tills. Shame such a set-up wasn't extended to more shops.

When I was in the one at Crook yesterday, only one till was open, and the worker was taking his time, the person in front of me was clearly a friend of his, and this was evidenced by the ''banter'' between the two of them. By the time I was served, a queue of about five others had formed behind me.

This also seems to be a common occurrence. However, most Co-Op's are local shops and employ local people from the local community (sometimes in the League of Gentlemen sense too!). Local banter between customer and sales-assistant is almost inevitable.

Could be worse, somewhere recently I got stuck behind someone who when they were placing their items on the till and went to go and get something else. Not the first time that's happened and it won't be the last.
The place that is really grinding my gears at times right now is the Poundland in Eldon Square, always get stuck their for a while and they always seem to be out of fizzy drinks, about the only thing of that sort they had the other day was Tango Apple. A woman got quite cross with me in there the other day as I went to where all the bottled drinks where only to find there was nothing I wanted in their so because I was in a bit of a rush especially as the queue was growing larger by the second I was dashing to grab three cans and she was not amused by this, she wasn't even anywhere even close to me at the time!
I was going to grab a can of Pepsi or whatever in Savers in the Gate at Durham yesterday as I only wanted one drink so I ended up buying two 500ml bottles in Poundland because I wasn't waiting in the long queue in Savers.
Worst queuing incident recently was in JD Sports at the Metrocentre on Black Friday where I'm convinced that the woman behind me was trying to jump ahead of me in the queue but I wouldn't allow that, in the end I ended up spreading my legs out like I was a flaming starfish and also had to stop myself from confronting her as she smashed herself into the bag with my camera in about four times!
Worst examples of customer service I ever received included someone saying "sorry, I went to the retard school" to me, a person with autism, the morons in the Carphone Warehouse in Darlington Town Centre and two members of staff in BANK at Sunderland, where they talked between each other instead of serving me, after about three minutes or so, I walked out!

(16 Jan 2016, 8:59 pm)GMitchelhill Over the years GNE have used various brandings, and to be honest no one is going to agree on their favourites or on the ones they dislike.
