It probably means you can't order them without a manager's authorisation.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

having a browse through the online list, does anyone know the difference between "waterproof leggings" and "stormproof leggings" i always thought there was only one kind.
