  2. Did o2 not try that a few years ago with three and weren't allowed the go ahead remember reading about it back then three used to piggy back of them but think there are separate network now if I'm not mistaken . There probably areas that virgin don't cover and o2 does with internet we cant get virgin broadband in our area . But can get o2. That's maybe a reason for the merger
  3. Interesting to hear Boyce Seen some still working on the news London way I'm in Scotland 3 seperate companies that family and friends for had closed all there sites for lockdown that I know off
  4. Very sensible first time post I'm in the trade but I've friends and family in construction who are also being lettered by there employers hoping for may 11th guess we will wait and see what Thursday and Boris brings
  5. Don't all women need that not just the beautiful ones or is that the wages at the end of week
  6. My sister is a nurse and had to buy her own as they had none left to supply in the ward so your still in front .
  7. One of our local paper shop sells them for about 1.00 I thought that was ok considering what some other local shops are charging one charge an old lady £29.99 for a tiny bottle of hand sanitizer
  8. Bargain I heard a similar story to that NHS in Scotland ordered bottles of hand sanitizer in a large amount from a whisky suppliers only to be told once in was produced they didn't need it anymore .
  9. I blame the spell check or maybe that fact that I refuse to wear my glasses but In fairness some of the lads that's done work for us I think it does make them mad or maybe it's disappearing soup cause soon after they have it. you don't see them for three days when the go on an bender . Hope you and your family are all well . Best way isn't it . Look after workers and they will look after you well the decent ones not the ones that disappear for three days but are still the best and can't be replaced according to them . Watch this space lol
  10. That's good of your fiancee mate as you so it's the nice to be like that your staff rescpect you more and will be more likely to come and go it's just nice to be nice as my dad always drummed in to us .. any the guys I use I often buy them a fish supper or an Chinese or whatever there take away of choice is or as you say make them a meal my mum would always do it with workman that came about the house .make them home mad soup and home made dinners she still does . Ill probably do the same with my cars as well as there well maintained and mechanicals are all good yeah we are all ok mate apart from my mother having OCD about the virus and worried about my dad who had dementia and Alzheimer's and copd and various other problems like arthritis etc but there in the seventies dads in his late seventies and mum in her mid seventies so I can understand there fears hope you and you family are well too stay well stay safe and take care .
  11. You r 1000 percent correct mark the other thing I find is the bad ones think there worth upwards of £15 an hour and claim there the best as you say any good skilled is well worth that or maybe a little more at times any time I've had staff I've always believed to look after them not even just with wages but maybe a wee bonus at Christmas a present or voucher for the family and something as simple as a card and a cake on there birthdays go down well .actually I sometimes do the same with suppliers
  12. The construction and building site are the same here guess there trying to get everyone back will have to wait and see
  13. Staff is difficult the old school guys are no longer around and all the ones straight out of college automatically assume there the best a wise Mann once told me never trust anyone who says there the best or good at there job but listen if others do . Guys used to send cvs in to a garage I worked in the owner used to bin them I read through a few and one of the guys look promising wish I had kept them all in a folder now at the time . But guess you never think . Or local painters are worst and harder to find
