Grass the spongers up.
I've thought long and hard about that but I live 50 yards away and have a couple of spare bedrooms. I just know if they do get made homeless where they will end up
Another thing that really annoys me. I own a shop, i'm cheaper than my competitior and sell the same things. I'm sited about 50 yards away. I've took fuck all cash in the first couple of hours this morning and when I wondered out for a fag somebody was coming out of my competitors having spent £30 on some bits they would have got for £20 from mine.

What sort of stuff do you sell? You need to let people know you can give them the same thing cheaper.
Do they know about your shop?
i bet you were deflated.I had someone the other day ask how much are your 34" big number helium balloons. "£5.99 mate, a pound cheaper than Card Factory and £2 cheaper than Clintons". He stood looking for a couple of minutes and then wandered off. 10 minutes later he came past with one he bought from Card Factory. Sums my town up perfectly.
Birthday cards & partyware. I was the manager of a Card Factory and decided to open my own a couple of years back. I have a large footfall coming through my shop every day, I probably have 25% conversion rate. I've got better quality stuff, a bigger shop with more choice and most of it is the same price or cheaper. Alas, it's still not good enough. It's absolutely soul destroying.
I've done promos, used advertising space in the centre and all sorts. I really can't grumble about the numbers I have coming in, it's much better than I ever predicted.

Is it because people are just going with the "name" of card factory?
I'm not a marketing expert, but you need to steal their customers.
Hire somebody to stand outside all day and give them a leaflet to come to your shop
Bit wonky this one. Should probably go in the GE thread.
"Fully costed manifestos"
It's utter bollocks and perpetuates the publica poor understanding of macroeconomics.
You can't cost a manifesto, the government isn't in control of its income, it's a function of private sector activity and the global economy. The Tories have over the last 5 years overspent by an average of over £20bn a year yet if Tim Farron can't point to where he'll find £100m for hugs or whatever LD policy is he's hauled over the coals as "magic money tree".
While we are at it, the phrase "magic money tree".
We do have a fucking magic money tree, that's what a mint is. We are a fiat currency and can create as much cash as we want. Just like with an actual magic money tree there are consequences for using it too much in the wrong economic conditions. Chortling twats going on about "magic money trees" just highlight their complete economic duncert yet so called sensible commentators eat it up.
In fact, let's just say the general publics understanding of macroeconomics, summed up by anyone who uses the phrase "national credit card" or "well if I spend more than I earn I'm in trouble ain't I?". GOVERNMENT BUDGETS ARENT LIKE HOUSEHOLD BUDGETS YOU GIANT FUCK NUGGET.
I don't mind not everyone understanding economics, there's lots of politics stuff I don't understand, but I keep my mouth shut and aren't enabled by the media.

People who get really into a sports team and end up going all round the country to watch them and write on online message boards. Losers.
Adults on skateboards
I have a bloke who's either on his skateboard or bmx every day. Must be mid 30's, baggy jeans and bandana along with long hair and a chain on his baggies.
What really annoys me is people who take photos and cannot get the horizon straight.View attachment 7424
Fuckin crow starting on me
Or as a contributor to two or three charities.Feeling generally content with life and then the sudden appearance of emails headed 'Find a Funeral Plan' and letters in envelopes stamped with 'Help look after your loved ones when you're gone'. Bloody great!
I've got 2 years to wait then before looking forward to that. Just carry on receiving my mail from that nice Michael Parkinson and June Whitfield. Maybe take them up on their offer of a free Parker pen...or is that the beginning of the end?Or as a contributor to two or three charities.
Come along to a VIP venue, or simply reply to the letters asking you to sign over your savings /property upon death.
Seemed to start when I hit 58.
