This has just made me very angry, but not without reason. I'd like to know how sentimental people would feel about it if they knew that.

In the world of youtube and social media videos they could have run a competition where you make your own Christmas advert for John Lewis, the winner is used on TV and they receive a lovely prize. Lot's of publicity, cheap advert, loads of attention.

How much discount would you get if they shared out that £7 million across every product, every customer?
Based on a Group Partnership revenue of £11,000,000,000

You would 6% of 1p off every pound.

So this tele

Which is sort of run of the mill PH stuff

Instead of costing a monstrous £1,549, would cost and bargainous £1,548!

Well I reckon £7m would get them an upgrade to their stock control system so that they actually have stuff on sale when I go in.

All stores (supermarkets excepted) seem to run like that these days. The store is just a showroom and if you actually want to buy anything you need to order it and go back the next day to collect it.

or people go and order it off the internet.

Saves them tying up huge amounts of money in stock

Sorry, should have been more specific. My gripe was aimed at the Waitrose element of the Partnership. Struggles to get even the basics on sale.

It's shocking, I was left floundering when they ran out of Vermicelli nests. I mean, really - it's part of their essential range. How can they let anyone go without in this day and age?

You have my sympathies.

I'd be happy if they managed to get bread, milk and bananas on sale.

The (thankfully small handful) of people in the office clicking away on their keyboards during the 2 minute's silence. If you don't want to stop and remember, fine, but could you please do something quiet (read a memo or something) just for 2 minutes?

The fact that it's almost impossible now to walk into a large supermarket and buy a single 330ml can of soft drink. Instead, it's all large 500ml bottles. Who the fk needs to be drinking a 500ml bottle of Coke? No wonder 75% of U.K. adults are fat bds if this is the only choice they're being given by the greedy manufacturers.

Omg your post has totally inspired me!

I think your post could be covered off by my moan of people who use Facebook all the time, but yet still appear to have no idea how to use it, and how not to fall for every single scam or fake post or fake competition etc.

And of course


Inbox me yeh hun?

You can't post in the Westworld thread because arguments over imaginary spoilers brought the mod's iron fist down, and now the 20% of posters still around use cliquey code-speak for most of the characters names which is completely impenetrable.
No, someone couldn't remember the real characters names so made them up, the others have just been taking the mickey.

No st. Really. You don't actually have NP&E in your favourites do you? rofl That area went out the window years ago. Occasionally the wkers that reside within break out into other areas. But it's pretty much a sinkhole for the scum on the site which works quite nicely.
what annoys me is people posting threads on news for example 'bunny goes on killing spree murdering 19 people', you click on the topic, and all they say is 'just seen this'.

no bloody link to any article that they've probably read. nothing. then 15+ posts of people commenting on it without a single article.
