We have the prices on our vending machine displayed in roubles and cents/dollars but that's because most people use foreign coins.
The last time it was emptied there wasn't a single British coin in it.

Where are you Blogger ? needing some confirmation on an "incident"
at GMC on Fri.late shift.Heard some guys had to jump out of trailer
at the PODS area when vehicle pulled out too early then one of the
PODS followed them, cue a bit of mayhem, if this is true then it is
quite puzzling as there is normally more Managers around that
section than there is letters awaiting despatch so if the" incident"
took place who was Supervising the Safe Systems of Work at the
time or perhaps they were all just standing around chatting. So
Blogger let us know if this "Incident "actually took place

The Glasgow Blogger hasn't posted since the end of January.
S/He hasn't visited this site since February.
To be honest I am very worried.
I'm going to get one of our drivers to make enquiries at the MC tomorrow.

maybe the "blogger" is busy doin' WCM????........

The incident at GMC did happen and not for the first time
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

So the Blogger could in actual fact be one of the 287 postal staff
being paid to do nothing, well that narrows it down to quite a few
possible suspects on my shift alone :hmmmm :hmmmm

Sorry for the necro, but is it true that GMC has shipped people up to ABMC to 'stimulate' WCM there?

Definitely up at ABMC, and participating in WCM, 3-4 people or so.

WCM 'champion' is annoyed at the rookie rep we have atm refusing to talk to them

Haven't talked to them myself, since they are effectively strike breaking, since there should be zero participation up here due to being a phase 5 site
