What you want delivered tomorrow to your door.
What's not to like?
TBH what I don't like when ordering anything online nowadays is the very strange non speaking English people that knock on your door at 9pm with a delivery. The lack of drivers seems to have lowered the recruitment bar considerably.

I think its a good thing that the English mute community are finally being recognised. Massively underrepresented in the customer service industry.

You’re not wrong Keith, waiting inline is not to everyone’s taste!

Good to see that some companies are making an effort to employ people with limited abilities.
Perhaps there’s an opening here for them to offer a crash course in sign language to their customers at a special price?

The French Interior Minister has blamed a ‘lax’ job market which allows people to work illegally for low wages as a reason why so many migrants want to reach the UK.

It's a win win situation for them. As soon as they get here they get housing, food, healthcare etc
Whilst claiming benefits they get a job on the side - no questions asked and no need to pay tax. They send the money they earn back home.

Just to balance things up a little
Isn't there some white English folk claiming benefits and working on the side.,,,?
Or is that ok because they are one of ours lol ?

The Allotment restaurant opposite the Town Hall has closed, but is being re-opened, couldn't tell what the signage said whilst driving by.

Also next week what used to be the Mean Bean becomes Thong-Dees a Thai eatery.
It will have to be good for me to desert the Bangkok Pavilion in Deal. Their Tom Yum Goong is excellent!

We tried them the other day and it was very nice so will definitely use them again, loved the spicy tomato sauce which was spicy but not to much.
