Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little

If we all take our glasses back and clear our tables, they'll stop employing people to do it !

1. We all never will
2. I don't clean the table for them
3. Many uk pubs are struggling to get enough staff

I went to the valley and visited a really good butcher for meat to make sausages. Also bought a joint cos I've not had a roast for blooming ages. Went to another shop and got some potatoes and carrots (got other veg in the freezer!)

Got home and realised I've got no gravy granules or gravy powder

Gutted




I know I could probably make some gravy from scratch, but I actually like gravy granules gravy

Pam is incredibly disappointed in you!

I love the notion of making your own sausages but baulking at the idea of making your own gravy.

I know. I’m a special kinda wierd

TBF i probably will do thé roast and make the gravy tomorrow. Sausages planned for tomorrow or Monday

Gotta be in the mood - and a roast is easy with ‘instant’ gravy

[KungFooBob]

Staying at the in-laws to look after the dogs for the night, just gone to make a sandwich.

I'd forgotten that MIL was a butter miner.

The practice should be outlawed.

You should use your knife to skim it off in lovely smooth layers, not jab massive holes in it.... and don't get me started on the toast crumbs!

You might have just written the most insignificant complaint in the whole thread!

Because you don't make gravy!

Mind you, the amount of times I've had white gravy........

White gravy?????

TBF, if I was doing a big roast for a load of mates, I'd be far more willing to make gravy But just for myself, well, I really need it to be quick and simple!!

Presumably cornflour?

[Noggin]

Presumably cornflour?

The easiest recipe I found said make a roux with butter and flour and add stock!!

Soooo, if nothing is open tomorrow, I’ll end up doing that LOL

[Felix]

I so miss Bisto. The Bisto gluten free stuff is just shit so have to make do with store brands

I miss bisto too. But that’s just cos it’s so damned expensive here and I forgot to buy some when I was in the uk in March!!

(The last lot was the veggie version. A chalet had a massive tub of it - 1kg Box or something - that wasn’t going to be in date for the next season, so I haven’t had to buy any for quite a long time )

[JackyJoll]

I didn't care if someone is paid to do it or not, a bit of politeness is never wasted.

Yup, that.

If we all take our glasses back and clear our tables, they'll stop employing people to do it !

Then the price can come down.

+Marmite and Worcestershire sauce and even Soy sauce. They've all got loads of Umami and make the gravy taste more "savoury". Stock from a cube would just be salty really, so you'd be making thick salt water

Stop being silly.

[Jody]

Yup, that.

A friend and I had drinks at a bar this winter, they had an app so you could pay the bill without needing the server. They charged a small fee to use the app! The app must be cheaper than a staff member they no longer need, yet the price has gone up !

[Felix]

Yup, that.

I doubt it. They already have the staff and cant always cope with demand. I refuse to use self service tills in the supermarket as they are clearly taking jobs. Speaking to the staff in my local Tesco they have already noticed a reduction on staff. Not that they have been paying anyone off just not replacing a few that have left.

If i was not to clear my table in the bar due to having manners and someone came in after me they would be on some bike forum whining in the boil your piss section about how dirty the table was. No consideration that the staff are busy and will get to you when they can.

[Mr. Dazzle]

"Already noticed"

Self service checkouts have been a thing for nearly 20 years now!

Not in our Tesco they are not. 18-24 month at most. Local Aldi have introduced them also. No one on the tills in the evenings they were hoeing for but the queues were so long they had to put someone on the tills as these stupid things are next to useless when you have a trolly of goods. Now they need two staff on rather than the usual one in the evenings.
