A moan about people moaning.

Post by AndrewA »

Yes I am fed up with people moaning. Blah blah Blah whine whine whine.

ALl I hear when I am out is people complaining about stuff, fed up with it, especially the bloke on the bus who was whining about how many Co-ops there are in the area, at end of my road a nice new co-op is being built in the car park opposite the existing one, so he moans on the whole trip how stupid it is to have two co-ops open next to each other, anone with small amount of intelligence knows that they are going to move and turn the existing store into a funeral parlour, and further how stupid it is to have 4 convenience supermarkets in a 1 mile stretch of road. Seriously, 1 Marks and Spencers food hall in the petrol station, 2 co-ops 3/4 mile from each other and a One Stop. Then there is the supermarket in the precinct, which used to be Sommerfield but taken over by the Co-op.

At least it makes a change from people moaning about the buses and weather.

Quite right ,Rob . There are too many supermarkets . My youngest daughter ,and myself added up how many supermarkets there were in Evesham ,and there are 6 , and they are about to build another in the space where the Fire Brigade use to be . One pub has just closed,their is no longer a indoor market . Loads of charity shops . Its good to have a moan ,and I am afraid I do it alot :lol: :lol:
It's easy to stand with the crowd . It takes courage to stand alone

A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

We do have a lot of supermarkets around Oldbury and Quinton, but I have to say I use them a lot more than I used to use the run down and not very clean pubs which stood on a couple of the places where they have been built, and whenever I do use them, the car parks are packed. In fact, I had trouble finding a space yesterday on ASDA, the last time I went in the pub a few years ago (the Kings Highway) which stood on the same ground, the place was nearly empty. The only pubs that seem to do OK these days are the ones that serve decent food. So - I for one, who happen to live in the area, am quite happy that the pubs are gone and we have the supermarkets.

No point in moaning about progress - it'll happen anyway

Lets take an opinion poll on here -

How many times in the last month have you visited a pub ?
How many times in the last month have you visited a supermarket ?

OH another thing I will moan about is how the Co-op are sexist and discriminate against men for Post Office jobs.

My previous employment was as a Post Office Counter Clerk which I had to give up after being thrust into being a single parent, but now I am looking for work again and I have applied a number of times for this job but have not even got an interview, yet I have previous experience.

TO rub salt into the wounds the women being employed have not got a clue, I have had to tell them a number of times what they should be doing with my transaction, and no, its not sticking it up their backside :o

A little birdie employed at the CO-Op has also told me how that particular office has had numerous mistakes and money has gone missing, thousands of pounds unaccounted for. Never would have happened on my watch.
