No quitten we're whelan on to chitchat 11

Probably heating for glasshouses

Same issue for McDonalds in Northern England.

Here and there must work from the same distribution centre.

Seems a good few UK growers of cucumber and tomatoes quit the business last year due to brexit, gas prices and labour shortage of pickers.

Cold storage of stocks looks to be down to the bare bones.

The chickens are coming home to roost for those lauding veg growers on the Internet but not actually getting their hands dirty.

Wouldn't be giving them a 5* review after a recent experience. Had parts ordered from UK. Damn quick to look for customs charges but took a week to deliver after arrival here. Delivery marked for a Monday but delivered on Wednesday by a couple in a car. Nothing good to say about UPS either. Package from Galway gave 3 days going between 2 distribution centres in Dublin. Couriers have gone to shyte in last few years IMO.

Sad to say once it gets in it seams to take the house. Some may have no symptoms and others really sick. Wish you well

What do you put in the slurry bugs Say?

(I know, I’m savage nosey - I don’t even have slurry like) 😉🙂

Belated happy Mother's Day to all the F&F mammies. I hope ye all had a lovely day and got spoilt rotten 👍️

Many happy returns to you too.

Yea I’ve a sore throat, headache and sort of pain behind my eyes. Testing negative on antigen though.

Added a 3way mixture of commercially available bugs a few years ago.

That thinned out the crust.

You'd want a mixture of aerobic and anaerobic microbes like the commercial ones. The one I'd be making would be completely anaerobic. Basically fermentation.

Maybe ye would know what to do.

I bought a tractor part in Ireland last week online. They arranged delivery with a courier company. Not the one I picked on their website.

I got a message a day later via sms that it needed a signature on collection from the courier company. And that I could pick it up from their collection points. I assumed then that it wasn't coming to my home address and I picked a point in my county, the other point provided was in a neighbouring county.

I received no more sms messages after that and I had to work through the link provided in the sms to see when it was delivered. It was supposed to arrive at my home place Wednesday but arrived at the collection point the day before. I didn't know this till I looked at the website link Thursday. I went to the collection point Friday to pick up my parcel. The person in charge searched the parcels and said it wasn't there and to contact the courier company.

I contacted the company via phone number and was told it was delivered to my home address Tuesday and that my name was signed on the sheet. There was no delivery here on that day and I did not sign any sheet.

I looked back on their website with my purchase number and I got to a part where it shows who signed the form. It was the collection point that signed the form or it was their name on a picture of the signature.

I contacted the courier company this morning put in my purchase number was told by automated message that I'd be put to a customer representative. The phone line went silent after for three and a half minutes and then my call was ended on their side.

Where do I go from here?

It looks like the part was either taken by the delivery driver or someone at the collection point.

To say I'm browned off is an understatement.

Have ye ever had such a thing happen to yourselves and what come back had ye?

Mods could ye move to an appropriate forum if ye think it'll make a difference.

There could be a power of Boards.

I was filling out an email to the head boss of the courier company.

I've everything now printed off and screenshotted. Proof of delivery signature, etc.

Anyway I was just filling out the email when I got a call asking did I pick up from the collection point at later in the day (Friday) than when I was there as the parcel was scanned out. I told them it wasn't me as I down earlier in the day. So now the customer support is looking into this.

The customer service who claimed my signature was made on tuesday at my home address was not working today.

I told them I was in the process of filling out the email and asked will I send it or wait for their call back. They said wait till they find out about this new development and they'll call me back later today.

All I want to do is start a tractor..

Your contract it with the seller, you paid them not the courier company. Tell them they have to sort it out or you’ll cancel the credit card payment.

It's the responsibility of the company who sold it to you up to the point the product is in your possession. Tell them to sort it or get yer money back/replacement. Why should you be running around after them when you paid them to get it to you

Did ye all see Will Smith?

Laughs at first then seemingly looks at Jada's reaction and ..SLAP and then to get the point across twice in front of everyone.

And ya should complain to both the courier and the seller. I find Fastway to be absolute hoors at just horsing stuff anywhere within the vicinity. Rest are fairly good

It was commented last Sunday at the dinner table that every fork full of the Sunday roast lamb was 2euro.

had a really good week so far.

my 3yo son kept asking for a haircut. My OH wouldn’t cut it and it was down to his shoulders but he said he wanted it short like daddy so she brought him in and he is so happy with it. Willing to talk a bit more, laughing at his reflection and telling the world about his new cut. He has mild speech delay so it’s great to see him confident.

Also Officially a farmer today. Herd transferred into my name during the week and now have my login details and have registered the first calf in my name… might frame the blue card. 😂

OH and children happy that they had Named that calf poppy after our recently deceased family dog.

Cost of the food would be a very small part of the costs of running a restaurant,

€10 supplement is expensive

Something  similar happen to me, I paid for my goods via paypal...was getting no change out of the company. I request paypal refund me which they did after 28 days and I then I received an apology from the company!

Lesson I learn always pay by paypal. I'D report them to the CCPC Consumer Protection too. When I googled the UK Company I bought the stuff off, they had a terrible bad name. Now with the UK outside the EU these companies are not under EU Law.

This just popped up on Youtube.
