What is hacking you off today?

Strong rumours circulating that the Pipe of Port in Southend has closed. I know it was a favourite haunt of He Who Shall Not Be Named (he propositioned my cousin who worked in there more than once some years back) - but I used to like it as well, their chicken and chestnut pies were amazing. Used to be a favourite haunt from the bank on a Friday lunch time if it was someone's birthday.
Oh no. Very sad about this. A Southend institution.

That’s a shame. Southend has so few independent places to eat if you exclude all of the fried chicken places.
 
Currently in between contracts and I have never seen the market so bad.
Some poor employment data in the UK released this morning. Largest fall in pay rolled employees since COVID and unemployment ticked up a little as well. Hopefully just a blip as employers adjust to higher employee taxes and trump tariff uncertainty
 
Hospitals are full of managers, some of whose sole purpose should be making sure that the whole area is safe for people to use?
Three nurses saw me fall and all rushed to make sure I was alright . They said that the reason I had fell was because a barrier that had been put up had blow down and removed , so was an accident waiting to happen
 
Why has a UK team been despatched to stick their noses in the investigation into today's tragedy in India?
ICAO rules are that the investigation is run by the country where the incident took place. Usually the country where the plane is manufactured also contribute. If the UK are involved it is most likely because India has either delegated to the AAIB, or have asked for assistance.
 
Sky Q box refusing to connect to my EE WiFi for the last 4 days. All other devices are good and tried all the normal tricks......dreading having to phone the call centre later.
 
British Gas, incompetency at the highest level?. My son had booked an appt with them today for his gas boiler to be serviced, they said anytime between 8am-1pm, so he arranged to work from home today.
They phoned at 11am, said they were running late ( ! ), & could they come round after lunch?. He said he was having his hair cut at 2pm, so re-arranged for 2.30pm.
At 2.05pm whilst having a trim his phone rang & it was the Gas Board saying they were outside his home, & getting no answer from ringing the doorbell?. He explained the earlier discussion he'd had with them, which the guy confirmed by checking his laptop.
Then the guy said they couldn't wait until 2.30pm, despite agreeing this time 3 hrs earlier, & told him he'd have to re book & make another appt FFS!.
What a way to run a company??.
