That is what I was told, when I worked at Sainsburys come the beginning of the year.....

I was laughing at you - I was just waiting for that 'hilarious' comeback you always use with him.

No surprise there. This is her standard modus operandi - rathole the thread, throw in a few dubious anecdotes and insinuate that that is generally what happens.

So why did you say it's what you've experienced when it's nothing of the sort? You just make this stuff up as you go along. It's the same in any threads relating to the NHS etc...you make statements that have absolutely no foundation.

Insults are typically the last refuge of those that are without an argument. They help avoid actually having to posit a rebuttal.

I don't make anything up, JG! What I've been told and experienced is not making things up. Quite frankly have you nothing better to do then call people liars?

I don't care who you're laughing at....I'm laughing at all of you. If someone dare questions, or adds a comment anything, your little group (JG in the front) is along to burn the witch at the stake. Oh well, off to work, where I belong. I've had enough excitement this morning. What are you all going to do now that I won't be here to fry? It will be boring, I'm sure.
