Don't get me wrong, I think she's a cockwomble but is there anybody on here that hasn't been shouted at by a boss at sometime ?
Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
Given the cancellations of many flights, we may need to be aware of the amount of cargo that is carried even on passenger flights. I predict that air cargo will be severely impacted.
BA, EasyJet and Ryanair cancelled hundreds of flights, ruining the plans of thousands of travellers;

If Jim at the local garage shouts at apprentice Sue for something, that is, as you imply, fairly normal.
If Jim, head of an organisation of thousands, shouts at Fred for something it suggests they do not have the necessary self-control to perform their role. Someone in a major role has to be able to manage themselves. Their ability to command respect and dedication from the rest of the staff is undermined. And anyone else who is aware will have started recording every incident, however minor, in detail for when they get called out.
It is not as if she could not have had a quiet word to the senior civil servant and said that she did not want that person working for her.
ME, in the company I worked for displeasure what shown by a notice on the board announcing
Mr or Mrs X has chosen to pursue a career outside the Corporation
We thank them for their loyal service..
This usually preceded a confirmatory letter by a few days...

Civil servants claimed 'people got Brexit vote wrong', says Tory MP https://theneweuropean.co.uk/top-stories/alicia-kearns-on-civil-servants-and-brexit-1-6541819
My response
Not as big a mistake as voting this shower into power though

......and who is going to look after the volunteers when they contract the virus because everything has been done on the cheap, including providing adequate protection for those who do volunteer?
I'm at Manchester airport waiting for a flight to Florida. I've just seen a man sneeze and I am about to make a citizens arrest. Can somebody contact Matt Hancock and ask him what I do next?
Insure you are wearing your Hazmat ..we wouldn't want to miss your hyperbole
Many years ago, as a temporary job, I worked in a hospital.
Until fairly shortly before I started, rooms that had been used by infectious cases (all sorts of things - just what you would expect in a general hospital) were cleaned by spraying everything with a pink/red liquid that I think was called Resiguard (or something like that). Unlike alcohol, it left a film which killed all the bugs into the future. Unlike phenolic, it did not burn out noses and help to destroy almost everything it touched.
Trouble was, they then looked at its real-world use and found that it supported teeming colonies of bugs. Worse than dilute washing-up liquid. Hence it being abandoned.
Shows how easy it is to think we are doing the right things but later find out they were wrong. I really hope they don't find what is being done now turns out to be as wrong as that spray.

Reminds me...
"Volunteers"
Look what's happening out in the streets
Got a revolution
Got to revolution
Hey I'm dancing down the streets
Got a revolution
Got to revolution
Ain't it amazing all the people I meet
Got a revolution
Got to revolution
One generation got old
One generation got soul
This generation got no destination to hold
Pick up the cry
Hey now it's time for you and me
Got a revolution
Got to revolution
Come on now we're marching to the sea
Got a revolution
Got to revolution
Who will take it from you
We will and who are we
We are volunteers of America
Only just. Wouldn't want to have risked being sued...

(I wonder if anyone in HMG even momentarily considered whether there was extant copyright before issuing that "advice"? My immediate reaction is, not a chance.)
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear (name)
Happy Birthday to you.
From good friends and true,
From old friends and new,
May good luck go with you,
And happiness too.
How old are you now?
How old are you now?
How old, How old
How old are you now?

I have a cunning plan
Use petrol
If it doesn't work
Apply a lit match
That's guaranteed to work!

So we may as well spread it to some foreigners too?
