Re: Secret Santa
In all my jobs in London that's been the usual, maybe £15 sometimes but never more than that. It's meant to be a bit of fun and for some people £40 is not fun money.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Mon Nov 22, 2021 8:33 am £40!!!
Here in the Northern Wastes it's usually a £10 cap.

Re: Secret Santa
I found out the other day that rechargeable AA's are only 1.2v where as the normal ones are 1.5v. That's why rechargeables don't work in some devices.

Re: Secret Santa
I just discovered that too! Fortunately the device I just bought them for (which takes either 4 or 8) recommends them provided they're more than 2000mAh. But the price? Ouch!KungFooBob wrote: ↑Mon Nov 22, 2021 9:48 am I found out the other day that rechargeable AA's are only 1.2v where as the normal ones are 1.5v. That's why rechargeables don't work in some devices.
