‘They’ know everything from them.. way worse than having a smart phone! Obvs a smart phone full of cookies = marketing dream!
believe me Dave .... they don't need to go looking at my bloody cookies/history .. know ''everything'' anyway - ba**ards ...... it's a looooooooooooong and sad/frustrating tale :rolleyes:

My work phone is a basic Nokia. Calls and texts, will accept pics but not great quality. If required I get pics emailed that I can deal with on my personal iPhone.
mine won't even accept pix ... zero data - full stop .. text only ;)

Get a nice secretary that comes to work and handles all the crap and lends a hand if needed....oh wait ...
Shes a star but I have the crap to deal with.
Often photos to send to inspectors for sign off on installations - many clients out of the country on messenger whatsapp for discussion on certain points as they happen...etc

This is where I'd miss things. I'll do quite a bit of email/customer liaison during my lunch break to avoid having to do it when I come home. But yeah- didn't get a smart phone untill 2016 and managed quite happily up untill then and probably wasted far less time😕

‘Customer liaison’. Love it, that’s incredibly professional!
Beats my ‘if I don’t answer the phone to this cuntstomer now they’ll never leave me alone, they’ve been chasing for ages’ approach…
(I’m trying to work out at what point/age I started hating people - I think it was around 45 years old?).

I only got my first smartphone early this year(hence now taking and posting pictures,which is cool.)I managed perfectly without one but the amount of emails I was having to deal with when I got home just got stupid so now I do it all during the day and refuse to check them after 6 pm.
My ‘dislike’ for people definately really kicked in mid forties,definately happier with machines 😁

oh yes ... there weren't many customers I had that I was actually pleased to see .. most were penny pinching, whining sods, who we only ever saw when they'd ****ed their whatever almost beyond the point of repair
case in point - "can you put some new pins in my loader?"

If your stupid enough to mess around with armed police and try and ram them your really have yourself to blame
My thoughts exactly… respect is gone nowadays! Hopefully this case makes crims think twice!
I’ve worked around armed police enough that just hearing the taser go off is enough to make you not want it jabbed in the size of you going off!!

Surprise surprise the news today is slightly different to yesterday...
I loved how the day before they had his family member on bleating about how they were trying to get justice for him, he was innocent etc. then the next a complete turn about face.
I honestly don't believe anything I haven't seen with my own eyes anymore- or at least take it with a large dose of salt.
