Learning PHG Role

Post by doorstepped »

I know there is no PHG role anymore, but their jobs still exist :)

I am in the locker for the next couple of weeks getting trained up etc.

are there any downloads I can grab that will point me in the right direction?

Cheers

Pour freshly boiled water directly onto your teabag in a mug. This way the tea infuses better than adding the teabag to water.
Leave to brew for 4-5 minutes according to taste.
Remove the teabag with a spoon giving it just one gentle squeeze.
Add milk and sugar to taste.(optional)
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Surely this is all wrong, the milk must go in first and then the boiling water. What about biscuits? Oh the agony of choice. :d'oh!

In our locker the most important role is bringing round the popcorn and ice cream during the interval!

Surely not instant coffee. :shock: No, you need proper coffee from one of those things where you push the plunger down, too quickly and it spills all over the letters. :Very Happy
Sudoko or crosswords though, that's the big dilemma. :crazy:

More Playboy, Sudoko & Crosswords give the impression of intelligence though I do a crossword when the auditors in, not that I know or understand the clues I just write any old letters in.

If you're getting a few weeks training you should be fine.Just make notes to help you remember,it's really straightforward,but there are lots of small things to remember and when you're left on your own to do the job its easy to forget something. I won't bore you with hilarious remarks about coffee and tea, thats already been done to death
