General Chat

Whast a rude person, BK. You are talking to a chapelgoer, you know. And a graduate of Bangor University. And a ........ No, the list of my achievements bores me :-\ :-\ :-\

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL .....and me! :-D :-D :-D

I shall take my tip elsewhere :-P :-P :-P :-P How rude!!

....spelling obviously not one of them :-D

Rude!

Like inferring I'm drunk? John.

Please don't list all of your achievements-your soapbox will collapse, it must already be rickety! :-D

Susan with. I love your avatar but your shush tells me it is time for me to shut up.

Anyway, my achievements are long and distinguished, but not as impressive as Sue.

Buttons in Pantomime
Captain of London Welsh in "Mae gennyf air" (ITV Harlech)
.............. :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\

BK I was replying to Mersey, not you :-P

No not as impressive as Sue, she knows the facts before she posts. A lot of people appreciate that...it means you know what she's talking about.

You should try it sometime :-D

John you was saying I was rude ?????????

When you visit me you are welcome to speak in English,French, German, Spanish, Welsh, Italian, Latin, scouse, cockney and gibberish :-)

Just bring a paintbrush :-D

I only use professional rollers

:-D

BK Opening post was a cut and paste from Cambrian News. Hardly likely to be crammed with fact - I learned more on this thread from Tecwyn's local observations about the family who ran those Spar stores in that vicinity.

Cut and paste from one newspaper report. Yet you have accused me of cutting and pasting. Some contradiction, methinks. Perhaps it was you that you confused yourself with. :-S :-S

Susan10146857...you should make it clear to John you're not talking about pigeons

Off to bed to get my sparkle back. Nite all. Nos da :-D :-D

Doesnt mean I havent read anything else...

I'm intrigued by your love/hate relationship with the ex-archdruid, in awe one post, silly so 'n so the next.

Crowd pleasing doesn't score points in debates John.

Sue can i firstly apologise I only wanted to comment on your thread as I really did find it interesting reading everyones point of view.....including Johns!!!

I will leave the thread alone from now on which is a shame but John Cocopops really gets on my marackass......I will continue to read the thread but unfortunatley wont participate.......My words come from me not google, not Ask Jeeves, or any other site !!!..... riled but still smiling TTFN

Mersey, don't be a silly billy. All comments are welcome :-D

Lots of people have experience of living or visiting Wales and it's always good to hear new views. Those together with how families where one partner is not bilingual is interesting too.

When grandson was born my OH's worry was he wouldn't be able to pronouce his name properly...lolol fortunately it's short and we had a friend with the same name so he was used to it.

He had enough trouble with the name of our second house, full of wlch and ll.

Please continue adding.

Pigeons?......eh?......sorry BK.....you have lost me :-(

BK and others. I can see how you think I am changing my position about Dr Lewis.

The OP blamed Dr Lewis for this incident. And others piled in. Silly old fool etc.

I have never said that he was in the right. But neither do I believe he went there to do more than do quite a large shop and probably try to buy local produce which would not be so available from one of the superstores nearby.

I am allowed to adjust my position during a thread. Hopefully without being accused of contraception. Tecwyn in particular added information to the debate that I was unaware of.

My position is still that I rather think it was six of the cashier, half a dozen of Dr Lewis and that the Store Manager should have been well able to throw a bucket of water over the pair of them and make them both feel they had won. Managers can defend their staff and, at the same time, allow most customers to leave feeling satisfied and not shooting off to the local paper.

But I do not feel we know enough about why Dr Lewis was so upset or why the girl refused what seems to me a simple customer request. I have been to the tills so many times as a manager to resolve something an assistant cannot resolve. Things like "she called me duck. I want to be called madam". "she won't smile at me". And it is a Muslim cashier who is told by her religion not to smile at male customers. If Managers are not good at resolving those type of situations and using humour to diffuse same, they will lose customers.

As Gordon Selfridge said, "we are entertainers in retail. They come in to our theatre with all the world's problems on their shoulders. We put on a show and they leave with a smile" Difficult to achieve in a grocery shop, but still usually possible to a high degree.

It looks like Conrad Davies needs a bit less Jack Dee and a bit more Michael McIntyre or Jack Whitehall. But, I repeat, I may be wrong. And so may all of you as well ;-)
