Interesting fr both good and bad reasons…

Firstly I MUST have a rant!!!!!
Rant #1
We (my GF and I) went to the White Rose Centre  on Sunday – Primarily to return some clothes that didn’t fit – and thought we’d have a wander whilst there…
Wanders round the store, arrives at the Thorntons shop… Mmmm chocolates methinks, time for a treat for us? :mrgreen:
Enters an empty shop, 3 members of staff on hand, peruse the shelves, can’t locate personal favourites – aims for the counter…
Manageress doing something with the till – LEAVES THE CASH DRAWER OPEN WITH ALL THE CASH ON THE TOP!
Asks one day, dreaming, girl to ‘watch that a minute’ – goes into back room.
Bear in mind I’m stood at the counter – All 6′ 0″ of me – looming…
No response yet…
“Helloo?”, aimed at the manageress, now visible again…
Still nothing…
Waiting…
Still waiting…
Walks out of shop… Staff obviously far to busy to serve customers…
Pops into Greg’s on the way out – same thing happens!
The Manager had to shout to one of the staff “Could you serve this gentleman please!”

Rant #2
Tax return time again, guess what – the ‘Governement Gateway’ seems to have decided that we are not allowed to log in with our current credentials.
8 phone calls later – I had to I.D. myself EVERY time to ‘authorize’ Tor to act on my behalf – they cannot fix it and so delete our account with the intention we can recreate it.
I hope Tor’s managed to create a new log in – now all we have to do is wait the 3-7 days until the details turn up in the post.
I now know my UTC (a 10 digit number), my National Insurance number, my D.O.B., full address and full name is all that is required to be me! 

Grrrr……
Both Thrntons and Gregs got complaint messages sent today – let’s see where we go… 

On the plus side, someone we’ve known for ever but not seen for ages called us with an interesting project.
Time for some SQLing
