    Could you really be @rsed to queue for that long to save £100 off a PS3 or a £300 laptop.
    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

    I preferred version 1!

      My hourly rate says no!
      I am not qualified to give the above advice!

        Wednesbury is "Down South".

        Why would Northerners want a television? We can't get a signal up here and the electric's only on for an hour a day.

          Why are many from the SE so hung up on cultural stereotypes, yet ignorant of Geographical boudaries within the UK.

          Birmingham takes an hour by train to London. East Kent takes 1hr 30 mins

          Yet southerners would assume Kent and London are similar yet the midlands is closer by train and assumed to be different.

          Southerners also assume all of "The North" (wrongfully including the midlands) is close together and homogenous.

          I live in the NW and via road I can get to Buckinghamshire quicker than say Newcastle. The area I live more resembles Surrey than Tyneside, but assumptions of the geogrphically illiterate are otherwise.

          I never expected the South to be full of Pearly Kings and Queens eating Jellied eels as stereotypes would lead me to believe. In my experience
          hetrogeneity in the south is just as strong as it is between many areas of "The North" and likewise within "The North"

          The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

          But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

            I don't think time by train is in any way related to similarity, not since the chunnel opened anyway!

                Maybe not, but another example could be cheshire is as near to cornwall as East Herts is mileage wise.

                  Cornwall is West Wales.

                  You could say Dublin is the same distance from Manchester as it is from London: it may well be but we don't care.

                    I know you don't get out much, shame really, the Uk has some lovely countryside, and I'm not talking about the flat unexciting bits

                      thats also happened here in Germany at a consumer electronics store, funnily enough it was in the north of Germany
                      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
