Bognor Bus Stops
A while ago i posted about the Brighton area bus stops that just didn't make sense. this time i will post about Bognor and Chichester.
Bognor town center has a good one by the post office where the yellow box (remember buses should stop on the yellow line if the bus stop is empty) that goes way beyond the kerb and blocks the side road.
This means buses have to pull up short to service it and by doing so block the loading bay.
Another way to be overcharged by 1and1
1and1 have history for overcharging or attempting to charge people to pay charges for odd items. Here is another method they have. As they place several contracts under an account, if you wish to split that account and have two accounts to spread your contracts, then 1and1 will charge you for the pleasure. They consider that a new contract and also as an imported new domain, even if its the same person !
We are seeing an increasing number of forum posts stating that a site maintainer has had their or their clients sites hacked and they are unable to update from joomla 1.5 due to either custom designed components or not having a budget to do their upgrade.
Leaving aside the dangers of custom component design, not upgrading a site and leaving it open to security risks due to not having the budget is no excuse for a site maintainer with morals.
Highdown Highpriced low value Tea Rooms
A very popular walking spot on the Angmering border called Highdown Gardens has a reportedly very popular tea room. A recent visit there with the furry doorstop did not live up to the expectations of the "raving reviews" posted online.
Never do lunch with me
Names changed to protect the embarrassed!
Pretty soon certain people are going to stop meeting me for lunch. some of you may remember the last time i met up with friend E for lunch. this time we did it again, with similar, disaster results.
Traveling to Portsmouth we knew it was going to go wrong when Friend "E" said she had taken the wrong turn towards Portsmouth and transporting friend "M" ended up the wrong side. Then she couldn't find a suitable space in the car park so just dumped the car where she could.
Overzealous interview requirements
Recently it has become apparent that companies are taking a very impersonal approach to employment requirements. They are becomng possibly nervous over the Right to work act and not falling foul of the immigration act.
Here is a transcript of a recent over the top email chain where the RTW act is overplayed and does not allow any leeway. Bolds added by me for highighting.
