Inconsiderate Restraunts.....

Ello Folkies, my gripe for today is ....

Well as some of ye know, am a plain speaking soul...
Also, I have a few issues with mental health and other stuff...
So... you can imagine my dismay, when I get a call last week to say that a drop in centre, that I attend, has had to be shut down down to flood damage!

NASTY!!!!!

But... here is the kicker, it wasn't cause of the excessive rainfall, it was due to the main drains being blocked on the outside of the building.

You see, beside this place I go, there is a wee restaurant, and these inconsiderate folks have been a severe pain since after they moved there, what with car parking spaces and other issues.... but this last one is really taking the mickey!!!

Am unsure how the drains all work in the area, but it seems they have been putting stuff down their sink that they shouldn't have, so the end result, the bottom floor of the building we are in gets flooded out badly and cause of the cross contamination ( thanks to the idiots at Health and Safety for this one) WE had to close down till it was sorted....

Meaning the staff had to come in over the weekend and do clean up work, all cause this inconsiderate restaurant cant dispose of their own refuse properly...

So after a few days of clean ups and other stuff, we can now get back into our wee drop in place, almost a week it was closed for... in fact ... it was a week it was closed for.

Imagine that your only source of companionship, speaking to people, getting the gossip, stuff like that was suddenly pulled away for a week!! Tis annoying as hell.

So end result, well the centre needs over £10k in repairs est, not to mention the cost of the staff time, cleaning materials to get the centre re-opened and the repair work on our building!!!

Now, I have been asked nicely to NOT name and shame in this blog, which although I dis-agree with, I will stand by the advice and not name and shame these folks, but if you know me at all, you can easily guess....

Just makes you wonder about these folks that set up restaurant, shops and the other stuff.

Are they really as safe as they make out to be....
