Hmm, bit of ageist generalisation there, I’m seventy, been retired for seven years, my oldest Son works from home and I’m very pleased for him.

Yep it definitely was. I’ve yet to hear anyone under 60 moan about people working from home though.

Plus Mark obvs

Tbh I've not heard anyone complain about others working from home, plenty who complain who have to or can't.

It’s that time of year when you get blinded in traffic queues on the way home from work by pricks who keep their foot on the brakes, just use the fucking handbrake knobhead!

I don't have a handbrake!
It's an ID3.
When you're in a queue, you tap the footbrake, a light comes on the dashboard and you sit there. The brake comes off automatically as you select 1st gear and move. I only noticed a couple of weeks ago that all the time I'm sat not moving, the brake lights are on, sorry about that. Just the way the car's made.

And guess what!
I voted remain, have never played golf and never read either the Daily Express or the Daily Mail.

Other than MPs who say it for their own corrupt reasons.

The kids keep turning the dial on the toaster down. So I keep getting warm, floppy bread rather than toast. I don't know why they keep doing this, but I'm going to turn the wifi off whilst I'm cooking dinner this evening and try and guess in which order they'll come downstairs to complain.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Maybe you could check the dial before you put the toast on?

Maybe you could check the dial before you put the toast on?

Maybe they could just stop fucking about with it in the first place?

 

[Del Woppio]

Apparently (I didn't know this nor have I checked it's veracity) the numbers on the dial are exactly minutes. I always thought it was some hitherto unexplained scale of toastedness.

Don't understand what that piece has to do with the age range of people complaining about wfh.
It's just lunatic right wing politicians who I don't listen to on a random Web site that I've never heard of.
Of course some over 60s will moan about it.
The one moaner I do know who insisted staff came back to work was my daughters CEO (even though it was proven to him that efficiency levels went up during wfh) is mid 40s.

Either way I think we can all agree that less than a minute isn't going to be effective.

Little shits.

I'm cooking another curry on Saturday. I was going to keep it relatively mild for the kids but fuck it - madras time. If they don't eat it, that means more leftovers. Win/win.

That's what I read too but it doesn't equate on mine. My toast is set to a 3 out of 7 and it takes 2 min 15s.

A 7 setting (for crumpets) takes 4 min 30s.

You've actually timed it, haven't you?!

I've known plenty of people under the age of 60 moaning about people WFH, I thought that was a decent example of it, although I agree they're mostly lunatics, but so are the non MPs who think it too.

Many think that Pret getting 50% custom will throw us into a recession, rather than considering how much good people spending thousands on turning spare rooms into offices and buying the relevant office equipment will have done for the economy, let alone how much better it is for family life too.

Goodness, was the day you confirmed this a particularly exciting one?

Stupid design then, there’s probably a menu in a sub menu in a sub menu that lets you turn the brake lights off when stationary, but who can be arsed to look for it
