Beans on toast is best with grated cheese and BBQ sauce.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Plenty of butter on the toast, a bit of pepper and some grated cheese on top for me. No sauce.

Henderson's Relish in the beans when cooking them, fruity daddys on top, then cheese then fried egg

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Have some toast. Throw the beans in the bin.

Just considering today's lunch....might be fish finger hot dogs.

No to mushy peas, but recommends grated cheese.........interesting

 

[lemonjelly]

I don't mind the grated cheese, but mine goes under the beans.

French cuisine is of the Gods, you peasants.

I much prefer Spanish...

Grated cheese doesn't look like its been previously digested.

For me

French
Italian
Spanish

Turkish
Hungarian is quite decent too. Ghoulash is bloody lovely.

Thought SA and Aus would be high up your chart, Pad.

Recruitment.

Had two days of interviews planned, 10 interviews.

Only 2 show up.

Offer both jobs, one has experience and good to go, the other is enthusiastic and lets face it, shop work isn't taxing if you have the right personality for it.

Phone both and Offer the job verbally both very excited and accept. Neither turn up for their induction.

Don't really think of them as specific cuisines, plus I was sort of working in Europe there. Hence no Thai.

Aus is great in that it is such an eclectic mix and you can get loads of great stuff.

We having real issues getting staff at our place too.

We were after a forklift driver for ages and peope were either not turning up for the interview, turning up but then leaving because they couldn’t be bothered to wait for the interview (despite being early) or getting the job and then not turning up on the first day.

We were after a despatch supervisor too and took a long time to find somebody. They’ve just quit after two months and now we’ve got to start all over again.

The jobs market does seem crackers at the moment.

I changed employers late last year and I had recruiters already contacting me about opportunities elsewhere early this year. They must really be struggling to fill positions if they think someone who only swapped jobs a couple of months is the best lead they can find. There's one job I've been approached for by at least 5 different people by now, 2 internal recruiters from the company in question and then at least 3 independent recruiters working on their behalf since. Part of me is really tempted to rock up for an interview and just see how much they'd put on the table if they're really desperate.

 

[sycophantia]

From my point of view its hard to understand the labour market, been retired for 18 months now (although given the future economic situation I might be tapping you lot up for a job) but from 1980-82 I spent most of the time unemployed or on short term low paid contracts, there just weren't any jobs out there, I pretty much applied for any job, any rate of pay and couldn't get a break. Spent 2 years hating myself, blaming myself, dreading every minute of every day. Eventually sorted myself out but I think it affects me even now. I hope you lot fill your vacancies but it feels like a workers nirvana atm.

Absolutely! Go and do it, unless you feel you're in love with your new job.
Name your price.
If my wife handed her notice in, or told her directors she'd been headhunted, after they'd changed their underwear, they'd have a rapid meeting then throw money at her. They know it'd take at least 2 new recruits to replace her.
Go name your price Mark, see where it leads...
Is it more or less convenient than the one you have now?

If you're fucking a pumpkin, stick it in the microwave a bit to warm it up first. Apparently.
