The claim in the above Mirror article was

The X-shape Oxos will be the same size and weight as traditional cubes, say Premier.

Less volume, clearly - but perhaps slightly more compacted?

Either way, I'm using X shaped cubes at the moment and they have exactly the same effect

Sod that, I want Tab Clear back!

Maybe so, but you'd hope that she might just shy away from this subject for a little while, lest she ends up facing a torrent of abuse again. Much as I think she deserved every unpleasant comment thrown back at her, would she be stupid enough to do it again..? ...Ah. Course. Daily Mail. Glutton for ...

Yep. I peel them off if I ever have to pick such a thing. Bloody irritating things.

No. This is actual people doing the picking that I'm referring to. Yes, in many cases the computer suggests what the picker might wish to sub an item with, based on what it's been subbed for in the past. We're under absolutely no obligation to agree with it though. I ignore it nine times out of ten....

Oh, and substitutions?

A customer wanted a kiwi.

My picker offered them boot polish.


A customer in Newcastle (it's in our training) wanted KY Jelly.

The picker offered raspberry jelly.

So many times I've heard this.

So many times Asda then fuck up royally and people return to us within weeks or months, never to return to Asda. (indeed, I've had customers say the same about Sainsburys.)

Totally.

It'll be the only spare van the maintenance company could find them.

God knows they taxied ME a hundred miles the other week to get one...

...and very bloody expensive! Grab them, people!

Agreed on the big sealed doors, not so much on the breakdown "lie"! Most of the time in the case of my five vans, it really IS a breakdown. But, that's what comes of them giving us crappy fucking automatic Transits. (well...apart from one - the crappy fucking converted-to-manual Transit.) ...
