stanski Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Glad the forum is keeping me focused! Shed load of work to get through gonna be a late one getting home - may have to drop the roof to keep awake! Club fleece will keep me warm! Amongst all the doom in the news about cut backs etc - they have frozen our salaries, cut back on overtime and to cap it - some projects pratt gave us death by powerpoint presentation last week all 20 slides of it about a project to remove old unwanted servers and how much money it will save the company, how they are leading green IT and saving the planet!! How can a global company that uses caustic chemicals be seen as green!! Worse bit is how enthusiastic this guy was about his presentation - hey were cutting back on equipement and streamlining our factories and offices - hmm no need to read between the lines on that one I guess!! If nothing else I did learn 1 thing - supermarkets don't want you to buy their own brand stuff as they make more money on branded products!! We dont make stuff for anyone else as they worry it will dilue our brands (no pun intended!) Anyway sorry for the rant just trying to keep awake!

Toon Chris Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 The rant is perfectly understandable and acceptable The bit about own brand is interesting... I have noticed own brand bran flakes are like cardboard crisps so maybe they are trying to put me off buying them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have managed to spend about 2 hours on t'interweb looking for a car for my wife... we sold her strudelpanzer and she's running round in a miserable rented e200 merc .. (trust me the e-class with a 200 engine is biblically slow.. i've seen faster continental drift.... so i won't be driving that one again !!!!) Oh, nice footballer express in your piccie.... you can pick up bentley conti's on the 04 plate for mid 30's.that is seriously good value....
