    Work Place Pet Peeves

    Had to take a break away from this forum for a good while. Glad to see that this thread is still going though. A new one for me. Managers who break rules that could result in a very hefty fine from the information commissioners office and ignore the warnings when told so.

    New Disabled train users app

    As someone who used to book assistance for First Groyp I will tell you that we were told a new system was being developed by a new company that was meant to be drastically improving the service for both contact centres. Customers and stations. But it was a couple of years off. Currently at...

    Work Place Pet Peeves

    If I remember right, I think Office 2003 speaks for itself just for how long it took for them to decide to release a new one, its like Windows XP Service Pack 2, it took 7 years for them to make a new OS because it just worked perfectly, and it was the same for Office, then when they realeased...

    Passenger drags seizure patient off a train in Long Beach, California

    People like this just pee me off, same as when people try to claim compensation for a delayed journey for things like this when they know they are delayed due to that reason, some people just don't have a heart at all :@

    LNER Air-Con Dispute

    It may genuinely be that the records that the advisor who processed the complaint has, show that there was no issue, this may be a reporting issue where no one reported it for it to be logged that the air con was broke, so as far as the advisor knows, the Air Con was working with no record of...

    Work Place Pet Peeves

    I am not expecting it to be the pinnacle of clean like a hospital, I just don't want to be have to come in and sit at a desk with crumbs or food or empty drinks cans/bottles/cups and random strips of paper all over the desk, especially since on the way out we have to walk past 4 sets of bins...

    Trivia: Place names that you're not sure how to pronounce

    Don't know if it has already been mentioned (have not seen it from a quick browse through the thread) I have only recently stopped pronouncing Worcester as War-Chester, use to make for some comedic phone calls for a customer travelling to Worcester Shrub Hill/Foregate Street

    Work Place Pet Peeves

    What is wrong with Office 2013? I use it in work, I quite like it, I was brought up on Office 2003 and I still use it at home though so I am used to ancient Office (I do still much prefer Windows 95 I will not deny, so simple and easy to use) I am glad to see other people have similar ones to...

    Lost panda toy!

    Do you know where the train was finishing? Lost property tends to be taken off the train at the terminating station, depending on where it terminates depends on who may be best to contact If you can provide journey times someone here will be able to tell you who is best to contact.

    Delay Repay - How can I check GWR Explanation

    This is a big pet peeve of mine. People shouldn't claim comp for a fatality or medical emergency I just find some of them so damn disrespectful and i personally believe that even with the introduction of delay repay, a delay due to fatality should NOT warrant compensation - though I fear this...

    Restriction Code P7

    Hi Hapana, You would be right good sir, sorry for my confusion, as for the restriction code, I can't answer that, but I am sure someone much more knowledgeable about the restriction codes (and possibly NRE) will be along and can advise that.
