New Free Course Starting In Sheffield This Week
XPertByExperien replied to AutismPlus1's topic in Disability & Carers Group
I did actually, not that anything happened other than me voting with my feet and going to another care company. -
IMO the NHS has pretty much the same problem as the care sector, nobody that's actually qualified and knows what they're doing wants to work LONG hours for hardly any money.

Wharncliffe Hotel, Firth Park
XPertByExperien replied to GOLDEN OLDIE's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
I know Firth Park/S5 in general has a rep for being a bit rough, but your claim is beyond ridiculous. -
New Free Course Starting In Sheffield This Week
XPertByExperien replied to AutismPlus1's topic in Disability & Carers Group
It's also NOT free, I've done a couple of these and it keeps costing me a minimum of a fiver each way in Taxi fares because the place isn't on the Tram route as it's behind Snig Hill cop shop. Plus you have to apply for funding to get it for free in the first place. Also given my past experience 20 odd years ago with Autism Plus when they were known as Thorne House Services for Autism, to be honest I don't rate their services. -
Safestyle UK, with some highly annoying bloke with a Bolton accent. Fortunately it's hardly ever on any more, rumour has it Safestyle UK got done for dodgy business practices a few years back.

Royal Mail Customer Service Rant
XPertByExperien replied to XPertByExperien's topic in Padders' Bar: General Discussions
Both. They don't understand my strong local accent, I do not speak African. -
One example, towards the end of last year I mistakenly signed up for a "dating" site called bravodate.com, after the 30 day trial I cancelled, yet until I physically went down to Virgin Bank in Hillsborough with my statement, they were still charging quite a bit for the subscription even though I'd got emails stating I'd cancelled. Another example, a few years back, my PC got hacked, and people were stealing my details and even posting on here "posing" as me.

More to the point, there's too much fraud on cash cards as it is IMO, if we become a "cashless" society and everyone's forced to use their card to pay for stuff, that's liable to get much MUCH worse. Also, under current laws, people can't get a credit/debit card till they turn 18, what do kids do? They wouldn't be able to borrow money off their Parents because the Parents ain't got no cash, and can't let the kids use their card!
