I did notice that there are sometimes, 'hidden' peeps logged in to the forum.

But wouldn't a phantom counter screw switch it on? LMHO!!!

The thing seems to have an 'on-timer' of sorts controlled by the PC.

Comes on before 8AM as that is the earliest we get in for the shite that is WTL.

Leighton vision

Post by Leyton Crozier »

One of our blokes switched leighton vision off the other day and said to me "You're the rep, why don't you do it?"
The reply was "well I would but unlike you I'm 5' 4 " and can't reach the bloody switch" He's now got a permanent job :dance

It doesn't excuse Quadrant from running propaganda, though, although it does take you mind away from the terrible food.
What's your favourite food item on the menu?
The only thing they can't cock up is the fried breakfasts. Everything else is iffy.

So, it's the fried breakfast for you. So you get something down your neck before you go out. Good.

Reheated chips and burgers. Everything swimming in grease. Even the fried bread isn't crisp. Oh checked the cereal the other day... out of date. Hoorah for Quadrant :Sick

The original idea of the screens was to give us propaganda during WTL sessions and a pep talk from The Leighton Channel.
Because of this, there should be a computer behind the screen which is running the slideshow that you see on the screen. It also has a wireless broadband connection to stream The Leighton Channel to us.

And you thought they'd only wasted £1k on a TV! ... and £700 on a computer ... £100 quid on the router/broadband ... and £300 installations and fittings ... in most DOs in the country
B******T TV is classic Walmart, supposedly "clear & direct communication??", very american , Walmart/Asda managers/supervisors have to sing the company song !

There was the Crap jobs & towns books a while back which were best sellers , Royal Fail Delivery came 10th, many US companies require employees to sing the company song , it's all this nonsense about "belonging"," identity" & "motivation" etc.

I think it'd be better to have Divorce FM back as mentioned in the crap jobs book, than that patronizing & insulting nonsense.
