We all know the lack of management of stock levels in Cambridge. I’m certain there’s a 50 person company in Cambridge that writes software for stock and inventory control – pity it’s never used. Though I’m also inclined to think that much of it is downto management problems. Today’s experience – Marks and Spencer at […]
Travel to the station today. Great, this bloody stupid guided bus route is yet again inconveniencing me. In this case, a taxi stopping down the road from the station as it couldn’t drop me outside due to roadworks. This whole thing really does irritate me. Specifically, yet another situation where people who live outside of […]
A long favourite of this blog I know. However, this is the latest sign on the platform: What they haven’t quite added in terms of improvements is “knocking the whole thing down and rebuilding it”. Cambridge Station is a real joke. Okay, it’s better than it used to be, but still pretty poor. I love […]
Busy Cambridge shopping centre: I really wonder whey bother having 2 lifts (aside from redundancy) as only 1 of them is usually in service at a given time…
Great, nice weather, BBQs in full swing. Well, they would be- but not Cambridge. I just went to my local Calor Gas centre to pick up some gas. I hate carrying gas canisters in the back of the car as they roll around and hit the side of the boot. Anyways, arrive at the dealer. […]
A good place for cakes found in Cambridge. Yes, we all know that Cambridge is a culinary desert. Mmh, no desert implies some nice place, let’s call it a wasteground. However, I’ve finally found a good place for cakes. Of course it’s a chain (that’s standard for anything involving food in Cambridge), but it is […]
London (as usual) Delivers Dinner at Eat Thai in London last night. Absolutely superb as usual. Perfect experience: Prompt service.Being an impatient person I love the fact that they capitalise on the fact that they have a number of people serving and they don’t give you the usual Western bullshit about it being one specific […]
Sunday afternoon decided to run a few errands. Of course I can’t go in early as half of East Anglia usually goes to Cambridge (though why they’d bother I don’t know). Got to the furniture store only to find it closed: Why the hell would you actually bother opening ? 5hrs open on a Sunday […]
Rant warning !, in reverse chronological order… So, decided to go to the cinema tonight. I actually hate going to the cinema in Cambridge. Partly, because it is pretty dire (uncomfortable etc.), also in an uncomfortable environment (i.e. one is surrounded by Cambridge people). Of course you have to suffer the Clearasil brigade serving you. […]
Visited London yesterday, late afternoon departure as the trip wasn’t planned. This resulted in getting the train back fairly late in the evening- the train being full of people who had a few drinks. I always find it difficult not to laugh when people are making jokes in public- in this case some pretty rude […]
