@autumnpard I think people in my office think I’m friendly and nice, and good at my job, but I also am basically incapable of small talk so I don’t really speak to anyone for most of the day, and when I do it’s usually work related
Fiancée has banned me from sending her this image, texting her “rat throwing cheese” and saying “rat throwing cheese” out loud to her. Never thought I’d be in the longhouse
@TypeForVictory Am I being silly, why not just put the remaining 8k in a standards savings account? You wouldn’t be earning over £1k of interest and would therefore be under the tax free interest allowance.
@echetus Also, this is just Morrisons jettisoning off a non-performing part of the business (Morrisons local, acquired in a fire sale), the main trading business (has issues but) is fine
@DaveOurPlanet@Matthew__Bowles Who do you mean by “people”? Unless you just mean the economy should be re-geared towards agri, food manufacturing and greengrocers I’m not really sure that a crusade against cheap and abundant food is noble.
@DaveOurPlanet@Matthew__Bowles Okay, so in the context of the government potentially imposing price caps (which would just exacerbate these issues), what is your point?
@DaveOurPlanet@Matthew__Bowles Again, without the pedantry, at a PBT% of zero, there is very little benefit felt by shoppers (and if anything it would just squeeze smaller retailers more). So why would this make anyone better off.
@DaveOurPlanet@Matthew__Bowles So if they sell at cost and make no profit, a £100 shop now costs £97, doesn’t really make much of a difference does it? Especially when your alternative (Spar, Corner shop) is going to charge you probably £105 for the same basket.
@DaveOurPlanet@Matthew__Bowles what exactly is greedy and profit-mongering about a supermarket making 4p profit on a £1 bag of haribos??? (Example only, actual margins on sweets may differ before you say anything)
