Me, when I'm in a hurry.Today's Trivia Question:
Name the slowest animal of the world.
Gazooks, I still tip them, I'd better head for the hills before I'm chucked into the 'clink'.Sloth...
Incidentally Marci..don't feel bad about not tipping the grocery driver.. here in the UK not only do we not tip them, we're actually not permitted to tip them..., so just pretend you live in the UK
Did you not knowTimoc ?..seriously?.. The drivers know they're not allowed to accept tips....Gazooks, I still tip them, I'd better head for the hills before I'm chucked into the 'clink'.
I'm now informed, Holly, but I doubt that I'll change my ways. I see the lights go on in their eyes when I pass them a few bob and say, "Here's the price of a pint."Did you not knowTimoc ?..seriously?.. The drivers know they're not allowed to accept tips....
don't get me wrong , I'm not having a pop at you, if you wish to encourage them to break the rules of their contract fair enough ..but those drivers earn a decent wage, and part of their contract states they must not accept tips.... in fact by doing so it's tantamount to stealing...I'm now informed, Holly, but I doubt that I'll change my ways.

I have long believed that delivery people were on meagre wages and relied on folk for tips. I recently had a delivery of a very, very heavy object, the driver could have left it at my gate, but he struggled and sweated to put it exactly where I wanted it, for me a thank you was not enough, I dropped him 'a few bob', and glad to do so. Against the law or not, if one of these people really 'help' me, then I'll always give them my idea of a thank you. Give us a smile ,Holly.don't get me wrong , I'm not having a pop at you, if you wish to encourage them to break the rules of their contract fair enough ..but those drivers earn a decent wage, and part of their contract states they must not accept tips.... in fact by doing so it's tantamount to stealing...
I'm only talking about supermarket delivery drivers.. not amazon or any contract drivers...I have long believed that delivery people were on meagre wages and relied on folk for tips.

Come to think of it, yes, supermarket drivers have refused tips off me, but, when I get them in an arm lock or a head lock, they usually submit and take my tip.I'm only talking about supermarket delivery drivers.. not amazon or any contract drivers...
You are a card.Come to think of it, yes, supermarket drivers have refused tips off me, but, when I get them in an arm lock or a head lock, they usually submit and take my tip.
Another thought, I may adopt Tommy Cooper's tactic, give them a tea bag and say,"Have a drink on me."
Many researchers here in the USA have demonstrated that 90 seconds of isometrics halt bone loss and even restores quite a bit that has been lost. One does the exercises twice the first two weeks then once a week for a month to six weeks. Then once or twice a month from then on. They work for me. They also increase ones strength tremendously by increasing neuromuscular efficiency not by increasing muscle size. Isometrics have always been my way of being a lot stronger than I look, out of proportion to my size and weight. They work very well but we Americans are a very faddish people.3 years ago my cousin who has COPD and Osteoporosis fractured 2 ribs from coughing.
One just climbed up the pole holding birdseed and helped himself to a meal. The little rascal.
I was also told many years ago, that resistance training is great for preventing and helping with bone loss.Many researchers here in the USA have demonstrated that 90 seconds of isometrics halt bone loss and even restores quite a bit that has been lost.

I'm sure the reason you're seeing plastic in the program cafeteria is likely because it's a movie set. The actors sometimes have to eat for real for scenes. As a general rule most hospitals offer both silverware and plastic to cafeterias and patients. Plastic isn't cost effective all the time.Hospital question for you. When I watch Bob Loves Abishola, they always have plastic cutlery when they eat in the hospital cafeteria. Is the norm now? Do patients get real cutlery?
