I think the Concierge pay is crap to be honest. The hours are not bad though.

Re: The Rant Thread
can't believe that after agreeing a final bill for the electric back in Nov and not on the gas I have had another final bill which I now agree the gas but they have upped the bloody electric. aaarrrhhhhh been going on nearly a bloody year now.
never leave your house without getting a plan in place to have a final meter reading on the day you no longer have any connection to it and take photo's, fill meter reading in on line an phone them with it

AArrgghh! Tried to do my usual foray for grocery shopping etc.
The blummin' place was heaving. Cars and people frantic in all sorts of directions.
That's me done for with that lark. It's only Tuesday for goodness sake.

It was hell.
People laden with $2 dollar shop stuff, farmers gift bags and bags upon bags from Push and Shove. Was like a bad moment on Crackerjack.
