And Emergency Services and Military Service personnel get it easy.....? You need to wind your neck in matey.

Some people CHOOSE to work in the sectors because they daily put their lives on the line, dealing daily with abuse and ungrateful members of the public!

where have all the pants gone? i only ask as there seem to be a lot of d!cks showing themselves at the moment...

As for poorly paid, overworked AND exploited workers up and down the country...stuff you - pay full price. Disgraceful 'elitism'.

....Oh that's extra cheeky :smile::man:

gotta be done :smirk:

As for poorly paid, overworked AND exploited workers up and down the country...stuff you - pay full price. Disgraceful 'elitism'.

Nando's only apply it to one main meal order, not the full order.

I think this is unfair don't apply it or just reduce price by 20% for everyone. just because some people choose to work in government sectors why should they get benefits more than outside gouv sector. We all pay taxes and the end of the day

Shame its not NUS too :disappointed:

HOT for military and NHS tho!

Also Dominos gives 50% off to Armed Forces (when you collect) or 40% if you want it delivered

Nice, one I qualify for. Heat added

What about all the people who pay for the police, ambulance, fire and military?

We are the ones who allow these services to exist and function.

All their staff do is sell their labour to us, often for quite good wages and terms and conditions.

Come on Nandos -give us kind, altruistic taxpayers a discount too.

They aren't a charity, they can offer any discount they want to whoever they want for whatever reason they want. If you don't like it don't go there.

Plus your argument is stupid, why would you think giving a discount to one group of people means they can afford to do so to all. If they drop their prices by 20% for everyone that is obviously going to cost a hell of a lot more than dropping prices by 20% for a small, specific class of people. I would have thought that was obvious?

Thanks I didnt know this :smiley:

why should military and the like get discount?

Expires 2020...when Cameron dismantles the public sector.

some people don't half whinge...

What about when they put their lives on the line protecting you, if your door got kicked in and some thugs came to attack you who would you ask for help ?
they do a great job come rain or shine for not a great wage, so getting a few quid off a piece of chicken is small in comparison.:innocent:

Arent the police extremely overpaid already?

Voted cold, doesnt apply to me.
And even if i was eligible for it, still wouldnt apply to me as my meal always goes over £20! BURRP

I'm not here to argue validity of deal but a builders job is more dangerous and they are less likely to return home at the end of the day.

50% off if you're in uniform! Fiver for a decent hot meal when you're out and about :smiley: Applies to desserts and purchases such as Peri-Peri salt and jars of sauce etc.

Edit: They also give you your chilli on your loyalty card with the discount!

My buddy gets 37k a year as a desk jockey without overtime, they know the "risks"

Nice! Just wish it applied to other/all members of the HCPC not just NHS staff but hey ho, I'll just have to continue to pay full price :smiley:

wow, what building site do you work on ??

then he must be a sergeant or in the met, but he can still get called out if something happened, good luck to him though.

None that's from Hse, and taught on many ohs courses

Wrong again. The most dangerous job is anyone working at height. Plus services get free prescriptions amongst other perks.

I love how people get wound up over things like a couple of quid off a spicy chicken.
Not met many 'elite' nurses myself but they do sound pretty dam special!
I am also fairly certain that you do not 'allow these services to exist' lol
Everyone deserves something now don't they. I was fuming the other day when I found out I was paying full price for next clothes so that my wife could get a discount! Why does she deserve it just because she works there!
This discount has been going for years. Not many use it because it's plain embarrassing just getting a discount on your food whilst your wife pays full price for hers and the kids.

don't know where you got that from , police and fire don't get free prescriptions, or if they do post it on here , as I never knew about it.:laughing:

This is nothing to do with the NHS staff or Forces getting Perks. Take a different view....

Its to do with the fact if you offer this deal to those sectors, you get those staff taking to each other. and lots of people work in the armed forces and NHS.

Nothing more than sticking 20% token to Alton Towers to a Weetabix box.

Its Publicity, any Publicity is good publicity,. and you lot bitching about NHS Staff getting their Nando's Perk is Publicity.

Job Done.

They certainly have not for the last twenty odd years. would love to know the other perks too. As far as I am aware there are zero.

Thank you :man:

Not in the met and the only risk he can face is eating at nando's!

I think you need to look into that part of your statement a little bit more. Used to be very good terms and conditions, now they are terrible. I was a prison officer and when I joined the job my pensionable age was 55, that has now changed to 67!! And that's with a huge percentage of the wage now as a contribution towards it.

What about all the lads & lasses! Nhs, police,fire & military who dealt with the floods. Had their holiday cut over the xmas period. whilst some of you sat on your backsides doing nothing. I think they should be entitled to a little perk. Most of you who are coming out with the stupid comments would like to be in one of them services

Starting wage for prison officer is circa £17k now with a top whack circa 25!

Well said...plus, they have to deal with them every day in their jobs!

Does this discount apply using the defence discount cards or does it have to be a proper I'D cad?

I'm a civil servant and voted hot. We don't get any "perks" like this but we generally aren't selfish, or else we wouldn't work for others.

It's a shame that many branches are unaware of their own terms & conditions. On numerous occasions I have only been discounted one 'main course' on my order

​I most certainly do not get free prescriptions. I could have done with it the last year, as I was suffering terribly with ulcerative colitis, which my consultant has thrown all manner of pills at.

I would love to be in one of those services, more perks, more money and more job stability.

​I work in a hospital, but not for the NHS. we maintain the hospital. unblocking toilets, sinks and drains on a daily basis because nurses flush things they know they shouldn't. and constantly repairing equipment that is abused by the nurses. and for our trouble, a lot of them are rude to us, like we're the issue. we don't get any benefits, but the hospital would have to close in a week without us. am I an **** for not agreeing with this?

Do you not have an ID card of some sort that you could use ?

was that not the social services ??

​yes, and it says the name of the hospital I work in, and NHS on it, but it also has my company name, and every time I try to use it for any NHS discount I get rebuffed. so this does annoy me a touch

​It's well documented that the police were aware of what was happening. they failed to act

voted cold I work in nandos cleaning the toilets part time and get a free meal per shift so that 100% discount

Do you have an ID badge with the hospital name on it? I have a friend who works for a private company, but in an NHS hospital. She's still able to use her badge for Nando's discount!

​20% off up to a total of £20 or £25 as a bunch of us found out and then asked them to split the bill as all 6 of us were Mil/NHS!

what's stopping you ??

So, does that goes for every cop in South Yorkshire Police, or is it just a couple who are now in very deep sh_t? Just like the Hillsborough disaster, all the cops get tarnished, yet the hard work done by most of them gets overlooked. Unless you do the job, you have no idea what these individuals do, day in, day out. They do put their life on the line every day, people will continue to slate them, because, of course, they will never need the Police, really!!!

I love people who go to Nandos & then tell people they went to a Restaurant. It's like someone from Birmingham, going to Cardiff for the weekend. And then telling people they've just been abroad :laughing:

50% off at my local Nando's NW London showing Police ID.

Use to be 20% now 50% :smiley:

Hot! Applies to me! Sadly doesn't apply to teachers though, they should have more appreciation in my opinion.

Dear plebs,

After reading the comments, I am delighted to see that divide-and-rule politics still works.

LOL,

David Cameron

LOL

maybe that was true in the previous century, not in today's world of excellent personal protective equipment & stringent occupational health & safety laws and regulations

Ooh

im sure it will, what about the meek......what the greek ..:smile:

As a police custody officer I get to not only witness the kind of Berks the police have to deal with but also have the pleasure of looking after them myself, as far as I'm concerned they deserve the odd perk, I know I've used to police ID to get a few discounts here and there

And royalmail employees just tried it at Leeds

My BiL and SiL both work for NHS - they thank you for the discount, now back to the 'front line' you two - fixing phones and doing accounts!

If any of the moaners fancy getting the discount then all you have to do is destroy any semblance of a normal life you have and join the public sector. You too can then be rewarded with constantly having your working conditions and pension eroded whilst being derided in the press and kicked in the balls by politicians. No? Thought not.... Think I'll take 2 chickens.

Because they also have to put up with moaning ingrates.

We have not had a pay rise in years, we have to deal with everything society can't, why is it that we are the forgotten ones again!!! All the above services get remembered what about us!!!

They also give 20% discount to bankers in Canary Wharf.

knew about this for a while it makes dominoes almost value for money but gotta agree it's tough working for the emergency services a discount off food isn't exactly something to get bitter and emotional over lol

Kilburn

If Nandos really gave a damn they should offer far more than 20% off their battery farmed filth. This is a cheap marketing ploy nothing more.

Been using mine for about 3 years, love it! Thanks Nandos!

Employees of the police, ambulance, fire and military also pay taxes and therefore also pay for the police, ambulance, fire and military...

Knob!

I know, isn't it a complete outrage? A mate of mine had his leg blown off at the knee in Afghanistan and gets his paracetamol for NOTHING. And now 20% off a cooked chicken!
What a b*****d.

Seriously can't believe the comments over a small reward for people who work tirelessly 24/7 in the rain, snow, heat. Dealing with the most high risk of situations. Putting their lives on the line and paying tax too!! Love it when you hear 'I pay your wages'. I love it even more when I hear people on benefits refer to their benefits as 'payday' too. Get off your **** and get a job. (If you are able of course).

Stop whinging and just be happy for those that serve and protect and stop bringing up the past.

There are no free prescriptions or dental care. In fact all the services get is a general kick in the teeth from the politicians and the public too. However. Think of this when you ring 999 for their help.

Amen to the ladies and gents of our emergency services and military.

In that case, Taxi drivers should also get a discount then, Taxi drivers who work weekend night are basicly police men without the law behind them.

Are you a taxi driver?

this thread is nuts, everyone want something for nothing...

How dare students get 15% off mac-books, I watched Judge Rinder just as hard as any student where is my discount Apple!!

I am a taxi driver yes,not getting this offer doesnt bother me in the slightest as i don't go to Nandos, but i just don't understand the mentality of so many places offering discounts if you fall into a certain job category.

No the police didn't do jack sh"t either.

Its the businesses choice, so its up to them... plenty of places do not offer any discount.

I think its disgusting that carers get sod all full stop.

I started reading through the comments and then became bored.

I would love to see these haters have to deal with the problems that our services face every day. If your whining is anything to go by, you wouldn't last a minute.
Would you? We will never know, because you will just stick to being sad keyboard warriors, bitching and moaning about things you do not understand.

HOT deal.

It is an outrage, noone made your mate join the Army and presumably he knew the risks but he still chose to do it.

No one is disputing that, least of all him!! Try and stay on topic, there's a good chap.

So what your trying to get across is that because your mate lost his leg he deserves the 20% discount, I know a window cleaner who fell off his ladder and broke his back, maybe he should look about getting the discount as well

I am, then I read your post and replied. I expect your friend would be embarassed that you are using him to punctuate your point defending a 20% Nandos discount..

You really need to have better comebacks than this. The fella served his country, Nandos want to show some respect for that. I do not see the problem.

No, the fella "served" the guy with the suit who lives at number 10.

This has gone far deeper than the 20% discount.

That is the problem.

Technically, it is the Queen. That fella is just the face of our Governments decisions. No that is a whole other debate.

Anyone fancy meeting at Nando's to debate this further? If you chuck me the cash, I'll get you 20% off! ;p

Oh my......I have heard it all now, there are quite a few stupid comments in this thread but that one takes the biscuit, to think that the queen makes the decisions about war. Maybe you need to stick to your King Arthur and camelot RPG games.

Anyway this thread has been derailed enough, Hot for those entitled to it.

Ok, so which room are your children in?
We are going in, and we are going to try our best to get them out.
Whilst we are in there we are going to take one hell of a hammering from the heat.
Our fire kit will protect us (To a limit) but that doesn't mean our bodies not will be put through an exhausting and brutal heat induced shock.
Knowing there are people in there who need rescuing will give us the extra strength needed to fight through the fire to get to them. Through the pain.
Whole body burning, blood pressure massively increasing, sweating profusely as the body tries to cool itself. Breathing rate off the scale and heart pounding to cope with the stresses our bodies are enduring. Can this type of bodily punishment possibly be taken without consequence later in life of some form? (You be the jury).
But your family is in there, and we willing to suffer serious injury or die trying if needs be to get them out alive.
We are young and healthy and our bodies can endure more punishment compared to a 60 year olds body.
Yet this is what the government wants, 60 year old fire-fighters. Who will be sacked if they can't reach the fitness standards set by them. Upon sacking the pension they have paid into all their working career will not be paid for a minimum of 7 years to them.
The media is a powerful tool and the corrupt government has them in their pocket. I invite any single one of the MP's (Especially the 55 to 60 year olds) to come down from their ivory towers and try to wear breathing apparatus in a simulated house fire in our training facilities. Where the temperatures are a measly 300 degrees celcius. Just a bit hotter than the blast you get in the face when you open the oven door. (Not be very nice to climb on inside the oven would it?)
Not the 1000 degrees a house fire hits where the pain really sets in and the body really starts to suffer.
We are not greedy, We pay a large portion of our own wage into the pension.
We just want our rightly earned pension when we retire at an age which reflects what we have put our bodies through to protect the public.
We are backed into a corner and we have to fight the governments un-reasonable proposals to protect ourselves and the public we serve.
Please share this post with others, as social media sites are not controlled by the government and their rich chums.
We WANT to rescue your family, We WILL move heaven and earth trying, We WANT to be fit and healthy and able to do so, We WILL try to always be at the standard required. We WONT all be able to do that. We only WANT our rightful pension we have paid into if we can no longer reach the standard. We DONT want sacking and left on the scrap pile.

Read it properly, you must be tired.

Army and Police are servants of the Queen and have been so historically. Hence, why I used the word technically.

Nowhere in my post does it suggest that the Queen makes the decisions. She is not part of the Government.

Do you think Mr. Cameron makes the decisions all by himself?

Like I said, that is up for debate. Which is more than I can say for your reading skills, or lack of.

Then you would be wrong. Again.

So why did you use your friend as an example in this Nandos thread?

Once the firefighters have risked their lives to save yours, then leave you in the life saving hands of paramedics and hospital staff, then the police clear up your s**t, perhaps they will all go enjoy a peri peri chicken at nandos!

Sussed you out YOU DID SAY IT NOW STFU

To highlight the stupidity of the comment regarding the 'perk' of service personnel receiving free prescriptions. I apologise if the use of irony was beyond your comprehension. I should have realised that someone calling themselves "TheBiker", whilst displaying an avatar of a car wasn't going to be the sharpest tool in the box. Goodnight.

What if you work in carphone warehouse?

save a maximum of £2, oh wow haha

Oh dear.

Any student offers going?
I've been asking for tap water cups and filling them up with drinks as I feel as though it provides a sense of balance to the extortionate pricing.

It's a dangerous world out there. But people have the right to 'tut' from behind the blanket of security provided for them.

It is suppose to be only for the meal of the person holding the card. Not for anyone else in the group.

Get 25% off with my cineworld unlimited card and all I do is watch movies with it :smiley:

Got to spend £20 to validate this discount.

No wonder so many of the nurses are lardy.

The comments on this thread are amazing. Those people complaining should give up their high risk, underpaid jobs where they get no job satisfaction and no gratitude from their customers and managers and come and work for the police, fire brigade or the NHS - The 20% discount at Nandos is well worth it! (as is the KFC & Dominos discounts)

Civil service included as well?

A hard hat and hi visibility jacket will not save you falling off a roof http://www.hse.gov.uk/foi/fatalities/2015-16.htm

I cant understand all the fuss either, I prefer cooking my own spicy chicken, rather than sit in some noisy over crowded restaurant like my local one.

How am I deciding?
I'm posing a question as to why they should get discount.

the police cannot accept gifts like this one anyway

Because it's actually good business for Nando's.

My local Nandos will discount 20% on the meal of the person who has the card, thus a group of 5 people with one person who qualifies for the discount would not get 20% off the entire meal, only their individual meal. Also the Nandos discount has only been on food when my wife has used it, drinks are still full price.

Still, I'd have to eat at Nandos every blooming night for the money saved to get anywhere near the bonus I get, which my wife doesn't.

What a pathetic lot some of you are. Yeah it's a tragedy NHS, police etc get a discount, how dare they! Most of you get a perk called a lunch break, unpaid or not you get an hour. Ask the staff in a busy A&E when they last got more than 15 mins break in a 12.5 hour shift. At the hospital my Mrs works at in the last 12 months a nurse has been raped on duty within the hospital, another attacked and suffered facial injuries and broken bones, a third stabbed in the car park in the last few weeks, that's before the stuff they don't bother to count like the spitting, swearing, biting, punching, kicking and more. It's not worth a little discount on your chicken but it's a nice thing they offer. Why does she do it? Because when she saves the life of someone who was basically dead on arrival and can see the relief in the faces of their loved ones it makes it all worth it. And no she isn't highly paid, after tax, paying for using hospital car park etc she brings home around £1400 a month. Yes building sites are dangerous, but I bet not many builders get raped at work, spat at, kicked, punched etc by their happy customers. As for the military they should be paid double, I wouldn't do what they do and I'm very grateful they are there for us.

Nor will it save them from being pushed off for whining about not getting a Nando's discount.

It is good to see our services being rewarded in some way. They do an amazing service and do not get enough appreciation. We should be like America and stand up and applaud our soldiers, etc when they enter a room. They give us all the chance to lead a free and democratic life.

NHS staff is 13500,000 strong, the British Emergency Services and Military forces must be a huge number too. If you have a customer base that size you can afford to give a decent discount and still make a killing. Nandos profit margin is probably around 45% of takings.

I posted this info on the KFC deal and someone nicks it and gets over 700 heat! meh

I guess you could call the police and say you need an emergency Nandos.

The meal platter (whole chicken, two sides and two bottomless drinks is an amazing price already at £19.95, with the NHS discount at 20% this comes to £15.96 for a meal for two. If you take the 20% tax off of this its only £12.77 they're making. If they gave everyone this price I'm not sure they would survive, they can't be making much on £12.77 after all the outgoing costs.

Ahh Nandos, the hidden saviour of medical students everywhere...

Cool Maths Bro!!

Ah, so it was an innocent question because you have a curiosity as to how companies make decisions on their discount policy?

Or is it really that you were questioning it because you disagree with it and think they should offer discounts based on what you think and are now trying to use semantics to wiggle out of it?

20% makes a huge difference. Have been using this for many years but good reminder for those that do not know

Which is your local just wondering?

And yet other public sectors like teachers aren't included. ever.

How dare you small minority spout out at your disgust that the armed forced, doctors, nurses etc. get a 20% discount at Nandos.
We've worked **** hard to get where we are and are sooooo underpaid for what we do! We save lives, can you possibly put a price on that and begrudge a discount at bloody NANDOS!
I'm an ICU nurse and have had practically a wage freeze for 4 years whilst having huge EXTRA pressures put on us, even more so the ward staff! 1% wage rise for 4 years which is under inflation whilst folk that are earning minimum wage have had a massive rise.
We are poorer for doing the most important jobs! There's idiots begrudging us 20% off at Nandos......SHAME ON YOU!

Gotta hustle my friend. They're really need t hurting with the amount of money they make . Even so pretty much every student does this that goes to my uni (imperial). In fact the managers don't even mind themselves and let it happen cos they understand..

She works at Birmingham City, you can find the rape case and stabbing on Google - the stabbing I believe the lady had two guys trying to take her bag, maybe she should have let them have it but she put up a fight and got stabbed.

They do have security and unlike some A&Es these people are not patrolling the whole hospital, they camp out in the unit. However here are only so many rowdy patients you can sit on, and neither of the above incidents were in the A&E unit of course. The rape was particularly scary as that was actually in the hospital, that shook my wife up for a few days. There have been a lot of attacks on nurses after work there, they get followed, so can't go to work or leave in uniform anymore.

Let's use builders for an example again as it has been raised a few times, a lot of builders do pretty well for themselves (yes I know not all do and some really struggle) and if they want an extension at home they can call in a few favours, I can't, is that fair? Surely Dave the sparky should have to rewire all our homes for a pint? Of course not, it's a perk, most jobs have them.

I'm not pretending when I say my wife doesn't get a break, I get so angry when she comes home and hasn't even had a drink for the whole shift, it's dangerous and the NHS should know better but they don't seem to care. We had a really hot few days last spring I think it was, heatwave weather, my wife came home after a 12.5 hour daytime shift (up at 4:30, leave home 5:30, parked up in and ready by just after half 6 so she won't be late caught in traffic, start at 7am, no break at all then leave at 7:30pm, home half 8 on a good run, couple of hours then bed and do it again. This night she came home and was a mess, she couldn't talk properly, was falling all over the place, she was dehydrated. Had to take a couple of days off but got grief for missing shifts. She could have gone in and had a crash on the way I suppose, maybe they would have believed her then. There is no time for a quick break most days let alone take an hour for a sandwich and a cuppa.

On an average day she gets sworn at so many times she doesn't even notice, she often gets spat at, hit, scratched, she had bruises often, she had a black eye once, I get so mad. Security kick the people out but soon after they return by ambulance as someone has seen them face down in a doorway so drunk they could be dead. If the get arrested the police will bring them in to be checked. If the nurses are lucky they will have been in recently so been cleaned up, clean clothes and a wash. If not maybe they have been in all the same clothes sleeping rough for over a month. Yes all the same clothes, underwear, socks etc. They are so drunk they can't be woken, so they sleep it off while the nurse removes all the clothes and sends them to be destroyed, washes them and dresses them in clean donated clothes. If they are lucky they won't have emptied their bladder and bowels several hours earlier, but sadly they usually have. It has to be one of the nastiest jobs there is, but they just get on with it.

In an average month the entire unit will be 'locked down' several times because someone has come in with a stab or gun shot wound, and they worry that someone may come after them to finish the job - it happens frequently. You still have to look after the patient, you have to treat them with the same dignity and care that you treat any other, but you can bet they are swearing, spitting and fighting as you try and help them. It's a scary time but they get on with it. They get prisoners in from the local prison and some of the things they have done you and I wouldn't want to help them, but they always get help.

Personally I would let them all die, so many that go into A&E are not worth saving, many others are there because of a cut finger, a headache, a free day off work, or they lie so they get their morphine hit they crave. Each patient gets treated well, how they manage I don't know, I often want to go in and kick someone's face in for the way they have treated my wife, she just laughs it off, it's her job.

I know other jobs are dangerous, I think crab fishing in the artic circle is the most dangerous, around 150 people die on building sites a year so that's very dangerous, I'm not saying it's a great job and builders are so lucky, but there needs to be a little context too. This is about the emergency services getting some cheap chicken. My Mrs has been to nandos once (without me I hasten to add!) and that time used her ID for a discount, she's hardly abusing anything. I don't think we get any other discounts to be honest, I just find things on here but was so disgusted with the attitudes of a few that I had to say something.

Oh and no, nurses do not get free prescriptions, think what you like but unless there is another reason they don't get them free - some illnesses and conditions mean you do (everyone wi that condition does) for example. Being a police officer isn't a great job either, sure some will sit behind a desk on more money, but others won't, and their wages are not good, I think they start on less than nurses. No idea about firefighters wages, but they do a great job and train very, as for the military, we all know they do a cracking job.

Feel free to begrudge a 20% off a bit of chicken, I can't tell you how to think! And as for teachers, look at the countdown card you can get via the NUT, you get a discount at Nandos wih it, not sure if it's 20% though. There are always deals and offers, many trades have a discount off scheme you can sign up for, and of course the NUS card offers discounts - just go to nandos and take a student then you too can have 20% off the price of an cleverly marketed overpriced-overhyped-bandwagon chicken dinner too :wink:

Aye.
The politics of envy rules HUKD :confused:

It is discrimination. If they said 20% off for "white people" only, they would not be allowed to get away with it.
If all people are equal, charge everyone the same.

I have never been to Nandos and would never go. Not because of the policy, but other reasons.

reheated chicken...mmmmm....not

i use my forces reward card to get KFC all the time.. especially after a night out and a bargain bucket is looking heavenly.. even more so with 10% off :wink: haha

and to all those haters who think Forces personnel shouldn't get discount .... F*** you :smiley:

more tory founded elitism. Angels and sheep.

It is discrimination, but its not unlawful discrimination. No different to offers for students, OAPs etc. So I am afraid just get over it :smirk:

As an NHS employee, of the junior doctor variety, I can only comment on my experience of work and those I see around me in comparison to people who do not work in healthcare. We deal with decisions that most people just wouldn't understand. A 8 hour shift is never an 8 hour shift, it is always longer. And when I am alone in a cubicle watching someone slowly (or not) dying trying to think of a plan to intervene at 2am, the thought of discounted chicken probably isn't running through my head. But if I turn up at a restaurant and they offer said discount as a means of appreciation, its certainly appreciated.

I work in nandos and it only takes 20% of one meal so about £4 max

Not for teachers? Weird.

worth quitting my job and joining the army - i love Nandos :smiley:

Argentina - that's what for.

I never said they couldn't apply any discounts they like.

I just asked them for a discount for the kind people who pay for essential public services, not just the people who sell their labour to them.

What's your problem with a polite request?

I'm a vegetarian and have been to Nandos quite a few times, they do veggie meals so it doesn't preclude veggie's from going there. So vegetarians can take advantage of this discount too.

Here's the menu >

http://www.nandos.co.uk/restaurantmenu/mains

And a unranked soldier fighting in the desert on just shy of minimum wage is well paid? LOL Cant wait till all ungrateful citizens get called up when this ISIS **** hits the fan, UK cant fight them with an Army that would not fill Wembly stadium!

People choose to risk their lives doing hundreds of different jobs.

Discounts for builders and farmers next?

​More people are injured or killed in the construction industry than any other proffesion. To say people deserve this discount for "putting their lives on the line" is just plain dumb.

By all means ask them for it but I don't think anyone on here has suggested seriously that people should get a discount at a commercial enterprise just because they pay their taxes. How many people would be entitled to a discount on that basis? And how long would Nando's stay in business for if they offered that?

The suggestion comes as a result of the resentment and sense of entitlement people feel just because a particular class of people get something they don't. If it was really a polite request that as a tax payer you should get a discount, and if it isn't because of resentment and a sense of entitlement, then presumably you think every business should offer every taxpayer some form of discount?

I am on the front line in the Ambulance service and they held back part of our course so they could get away with paying use band 3. So any discount is a bonus.

what about Teachers do they qualify?

Do the mods on here count?

Evening all.....

i agree this deal is well deserved for all british emergency services however, i still feel students should at least get a small discount even if it were 10-15% off. they r one of nandoes main customers and its not like we pay out enough already

This reply comment should get some sort of an award! lol.

Only in Britain will people moan/complain about an individual or company trying to do something nice.

Hardly risk their life when drones and computers assist them in killing.

Totally overlooked response. A+!

Is the 20% off only for the people stated? What if you are in a group of people who dont work in these sectors- is the discount to only your bill or everyone elses?

Really, doctor sob stories. Their 8 hour shifts include sleeping for hours at night and woken up if needed.
It involves school boy prescribing errors the pharmacists have to resolve in the morning.
It is time moaning doctors were made to pay back the full cost of training. The NHS shoud write it off after 30 years service! When big doctor makes a prescribing error, small pharmacist is legally liable for doctor errors when dispensing. I must cry.
If you cannnot hack it, leave. Nobody forces you to be a doctor.
Many people work extra hours and harder than doctors.

What a lot of ridiculous comments over a discount on a very mediocre chicken dinner, god help the lot of you if ever something serious happens in your miserable lives. Get a grip.

not at nandos :/

Generally speaking, Nurses, firemen, policemen etc are on the income range which is the target market for Nando's. Same reason why restaurants near corporate business parks also give equivalent discounts or deals to entice people in. Its just marketing, not segregating people.

My misses took a pay cut to work in the NHS, by my calculations we need to eat 450 meal platters this year to save the difference on her wage - challenge accepted.

I left the military in 2003, the most discount we got back then was in Burger King at motorway service stations, and then you had to be in Uniform showing your ID badge (why we'd need to show the id when we were stood with a rifle hung over our shoulder I don't know!)

I for one am glad that companies are now offering some discounts to serving and veterans forces members. It's not just Nando/KFC etc ... we get discounts in many high street stores as well as restaurants :smile:

https://www.defencediscountservice.co.uk/

.... and doctors? Consultants on £100k+ a year. Nurses firemen and policemen are not poorly paid compared to many. They just moan like teachers. The average secondary school teacher salary is almost 40k (check DfE league tables). Not bad for 3 months holiday a year and computers marking homework. If you do not like a job and feel unpaid, resign! It really is not difficult. Why do moaning junior doctors strike? They should resign and find a job they are happier with. The right to strike should be replaced by the right to resign!

Never been to Nandos anyway!

If it's that easy why don't you go and get one of those jobs?

Talking about pay ...

I left the Army as a Lance Corporal after 7 years service. I was on £23000 a year. Not very much left a month after they take out the food and accommodation charges!

I wish I had a chicken shop so I could give everyone apart from you discount

Definition of common sense _ the conventional wisdom of yesterday applied by fools to todays circumstances they don't understand.

​no. no they don't

Love all these comments. Forces receive discounts off new cars. Can be around £3000 - £6000. Company's like ford & VW

I know in our town there are companies that offer discounts/deals to members of certain services that aren't offered on a nationwide basis - it's just a 'thank you' for what they do for our local community, and I think that's totally fair and such a nice gesture.

Often weak employees agree to wage cuts as they are not good enough to get a better job elsewhere. My heart bleeds for those who take paycuts :wink:

Sorry, I do not eat dead animals, so a discount would be of no use to me anyway!

I'm in Government sector but not one that qualifies so don't generalise

where are you getting your information from? have you ever served? do you know someone who has served or is it all just guess work??

I'll tell you from EXPERIENCE... We paid for our food. We paid for our accommodation. We paid for our uniform if we damaged/lost it - if it was wear and tear then it was replaced for free.
We didn't pay for food/accom when we went to war zones/peace keeping missions etc but we still paid tax

as for the US.. they get more discounts and freebies than we do because America gives a crap about the servicemen and women!

Unsurprisingly, a job in a private clinic in Chelsea helping rich Russian kids with lisps pays better, but is not as fulfilling as working in the NHS helping stroke patients outside of London.

So, no discounts for children or OAPs, ever? No bus passes? No student discounts? No employee discounts? No discounts for anyone who happens to log on to a money-saving site and download a code that wasn't actually meant for them in the first place?

Discrimination, in many forms, is a fact of life. For many businesses it's vitally important that they be able to operate price discrimination, so they can sell at full price to people that can afford it, but at a discounted rate to the more price-sensitive customers who can't afford the full price. Without price discrimination many businesses would fold. If everyone got the discount, they wouldn't be able to cover their fixed costs. If everyone had to pay full price, their turnover would plummet.

If these concepts are alien I'd suggest a course in basic economics.

This is good for employees of Her Majesty's Prison Service too!.....I've just contacted them :smiley:

​You really have no clue fo you. Spouting constant crap.

Well done Nandos ! Can't believe there are so many negative unfeeling people about!

wow...what have i started ???:confused:

Of course, you are more intelligent and educated, so your view must be correct.
Your eloquence says it all. :wink:

Really, the average earnings for doctors and nurses are above the average wage. Consultants earn £100k+
Junior doctors earm more than most after costing tax payers £500k.

These concepts are not alien. Do Supermarkets charge 80p for bread for armed forces and £1 to everyone else?
I run a business and pay corporation tax!

Nandos could say, on presenation of an ID card we will donate 20% to charity, be it fo ex-servicemen, health, local schools etc. This would gain more respect in my eyes, as opposed to saying some people are not worthy of a discount and should pay more than others and, indirectly discriminate on the basis of race (7% ethnic minorty in the armed forces, police is also low).

They should have demanded a fresh frog.

Do I sense jealousy? Do you resent hardworking successful people trying to improve the lives of their children? Why do people feel so jealous of the rich and successful?

Making a difference to an innocent child with a lisp is fulfilling when you see the smile on the child’s face.

Stroke patients are often old, who have often lived their life and some suffer strokes due to their poor live style. Perhaps, eating at Nandos once to often. I do not see this any more fulfilling or admirable.

will also be using this to the full advantage in the summer when it's time to change my car :smiley:
colleague used it to buy a new Peugeot last year. saved over £8k

Anyone can get such discounts from brokers! Does anybody pay full price for cars?
In the old days I imported from Belgium and Holland and now get better deals in the UK.
Even BMW give huge discounts.

That's discrimination against people who can't afford cars, or who aren't good at negotiating.

I should be offered the same discount as the person who gets the biggest discount.

I am a UK taxpayer after all.

Lol, there's so much wrong with that I don't know where to begin! Sleeping? That was pre 2000 my friend!

Nor was I moaning, just saying I appreciate the appreciation (for all NHS staff) :smirk:

Sounds like you have an axe to grind? Chip on a shoulder perhaps?

So what do you do on a shift between midnight and 6pm on a non-emergeny ward? Play on your phone?
Exactly what actual work do you do? Countless times I have seem these junior doctors make mistakes. Should we trust doctors? Of course not. Many are dishonest. Heard about a patient who had key hole surgery to remove his gall bladder and died? Hb dropped from 13.6 to 3.2. The doctors claimed in a coroners court under oath there was no evidence of blood loss. It is obvious the patient bled out. Even a first year medical student could tell. Either the doctors including consultants were liars or incompetent. The High court ordered a new inquest. GMC did nothing!

Doctors cry patients miss or are late for appointments and want to charge them. I do not mind as long as they will pay me when I have an appointment and they are late or I am kept waiting in a non-emergecy department or GP. It is arrogant for a doctor to believe their time is more valuable than mine. What makes them think the public do not earn more than them? If a doctor is 10 mins late s(he) may keep 10 people waiting. This is 100 mins of public time wasted. Do these doctors consider this? Inefficient NHS.

I'll probably boycott Nandos over this selective offer.

I pay my taxes to provide wages for the public sector's staff and so I don't really want a fast food place to charge me a higher price for a product so it can subsidise the cost for them.

I'll take my business to companies which charge everyone the same..

It is arrogant for a doctor to believe their time is more valuable than mine. [/quote]

Well, you seem to spend a lot of your time chatting **** on here. So I, for one think a doctor's time is more valuable than yours!

Jesus Joe public....you're mental!!!!

Yup, big chip! But I'll play, briefly.

A dodgy professional isn't representative of an entire profession. Come on, thats pretty simple really!

On a non emergency ward out of hours? 4 doctors covering two hundred + patients... hmm reviewing deteriorating patients, writing fluids, analgesia, rewriting drug charts and again and again.

In hours supposedly 8-5, usually add an hour ontop daily, more over winter, less over summer.

I think you are basing your opinion on an outdated model :man: Take that axe to the blacksmith.


P.S Never said anything about doctor time being more valuable than yours (whoever you are). Did an NHS employee run over your cat or something :confused:

Just 50 sleeping patients? Now you will say you are constantly working during the night shift as you would during the day shift. I bet you do not. Antisocial hours, but a breeze. Many wards will have no patients requiring anything.
The normal saline and other fluids would not need to be written up at night unless you work in a super inefficient hospital. Analgesics by mouth at most qds, hence already given and not required in the early hours unless on a drip, which the nurse can sort out. Don't the clinical pharmacists review your drug charts?
Night time.. a great time for the co-codamol 2 qds and and paracetamol 2 qds school boy errors that need correcting in the morning (co-codamol contains paracetamol, potential overdose - liver damage).

The issue is doctors come up with sob stories that they work so hard. Welcome to the real world, so do others!
What about the easy wards such as orthopaedics. What on earth happens at night? Suddenly they need a knee replacement!

May be I made my millions a long time ago!
Idle brain is the devil's workshop....

Who would have ever thought a 2 quid off chicken thread could bring out the cream of British intelligence like this.
I always love the people that take the 'I pay your wages' attitude like they are actually your boss. I tell you what, keep on paying that tax for another few thousand years and yes, i might let you claim you have paid my wages. Actually, I normally give a few quid to charity on a regular basis. I might start claiming I have raised 50 million for children in need.
And the absolute best one of them all, comparing a selective discount to racism!! 20% off dinner for a nurse is exactly the same as saying 20% for white people only. Are you absolutely deranged or just massively bitter.

Inefficient hospital..... that would be pretty much most of them. You obviously work in or have experience of NHS but don't seem to know what people do! Not needing fluids written at night, dude honestly you have no clue! Please shadow a junior at night to really know what they do before you talk b*******. Unless of course you work in some remote small hospital with little patient flow in which case your experiences just are not the norm.

Oh and orthopaedic wards at night, good example. Probably one of the quieter jobs as patients more medically stable....... oh wait the doc also covers ED for orthopaedic referrals which in most busy hospitals is a job in itself, let alone any ward work.

I am note quite sure why you have spewed bile about doctors!

Again dude, maybe you need to take that chip on your shoulder and see an orthopaedic specialist!

of course there are deaths.

but your claim, specifically, was that one has a greater risk of death as a construction worker than as a policeman/woman. that i am sceptical about, particularly as you have offered no evidence to support this assertion.

Inefficient hospitals, due to ineffiient staff. This includes the doctors!
Drips are on all night, but you should not need to make the decision to start fluids in the early hours for most patients. This is the point I made. I do not need to shadow a junior doctor (read between the lines). There are many quiet wards. I've seen them. I don't have a chip on my shoulder. You seem to have delusions of grandeur!

Such bad language for a doctor. What is the world coming to? So much free time - cannot be overworked.
I hope the Tories impose a contract on junior doctors, who cared so much about patients they went on strike.
Why not resign, if not happy? Oops, probably wouldn't last in the real business world where many work long hours without moaning. Let me guess, you post whilst working! :wink:

http://metro.co.uk/2015/10/29/6-most-dangerous-jobs-in-the-uk-5466552/

The police do not have a dangerous job!
Police corruption is on the rise.
http://www.spectator.co.uk/2015/03/the-shocking-truth-about-police-corruption-in-britain/

I do not have much respect for them. They even refused to arrest construction workers who delibertely blocked my car in when they asked me to move and I refused, stating it was not their car park and they were not approved to issue tickets. Threatending to block a car is unlawful. I had to educate the police as to the law, they were so incompetent. They recorded a crime and refused to speak or arrest these suspected criminals who admitted to their actions and threatened to smash my phone when I recorded their threats. At least the construction company HQ apologised. I wanted the man arrested and sacked.

blocking a car in is not a crime , what would they arrest him for..:confused:
they have better things to do than look after your car getting blocked in, why didnt you move it when they first asked ?

so nobody should have the discount then!??

this is why we can't have nice things.....someone starts crying like a baby and everybody suffers because the baby cries the loudest. :P

Its chicken! get some perspective in life and go outside and enjoy the world with your family and friends, not babbling on a forum!

It is funny when people try and educate others in the law without knowledge.
Check the law: https://www.askthe.police.uk/content/Q528.htm

"It is a criminal offence to clamp/block/tow away a vehicle on private land without lawful authority. Lawful authority to immobilise or move a vehicle is restricted to a number of organisation such as the police, DVLA and local authorities."

The workers did not own the parking area. They had no authority to tell me to move or put concerete blocks in front of my car. They are not BPA approved to issue parking tickets. They wanted their workers to park there. They even showed me an unlawful sign for clamping. These idiots did not know clamping on private property is unlawful. I had to educate these thugs. There was nothing they could do and I knew it. Even now, they cannot do anything and they dare not question me. One more attempt, to intimidate me and I would prosecute under the protection against harassment act and I told their bosses. 2 instances is all it takes. Big man with big mouth has become a mouse.

I am not intimidated by obese workers with less intelligence than a 10 year old throwing their weight around. I knew the law!

Everyone should be charged the same. Simple.

Okay, just "white" people should have it. Are you happy?

Reiterate I am happy in my job as are my colleagues and nurses. This is the job today, you are talking out of your behind and have no knowledge of current work.

Typical arm chair warrior, knows very little, shouts very loud.

Arm chair warrier? Did you go on strike? What makes you think I have not worked in a similar job as you? Shall I ask you some medical questions?
You need to relax in the doctors' mess!

"European rules are creating a generation of "lazy, clock-watching" junior surgeons who lack the skills to operate safely, their bosses have warned." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/news/7920136/EU-rules-are-making-our-doctors-lazy-clock-watchers.html

wow, you need to get out out more pal, its eating you up, and for the harassment act it needs to be a course of conduct not a one off, i still think the cops have better things to do than deal with a petty squabble over parking. :confused:

OK,I think we all have "common sense" worked out. A bitter man with a grudge,against the police,the medical profession,teachers,in fact anyone who isn't him and doesn't recognise his supreme importance. The net is full of them.

think you need to stop it there pal .

A course of conduct is just 2 times. This is enough. I know the drill - I already took out injunctions.

Yup, bitter arm chair warrior.

No, deluded junior struggling doctor, jealous of higher paid professionals.

What about the Lifeboats?

How so sir? Could you support your argument at all. As I have expressed nothing but respect for all my fellow colleagues and of course non health care workers. The only one complaining throughout has been you :confused:

[quote=shareef]
Because you start personal insults, suspecting I am a more highly paid professional than you, whose time is worth more than a mere deluded junior doctor. You use abusive language that I suspect only would come from the mouth of, dare I say, an Asian doctor (may be I am wromg - I guess you are Asian), hardly the moral standards the BMA would expect.

You do realise you have just made all that up in your head and then report it as my viewpoint?! lol

I reiterate, nothing but respect for everyone else, higher paid or otherwise!

​wind your neck in then. You prefer your animals alive when you eat them???? now that's just sick.

​it's a nandos offer....sod off!

So, to a deluded doctor claiming someone speaks out of their backside is not insulting. Really?
When you go to work, go to your consultant and use the same language.
I would expect a doctor to debate without such language and comments. I do not agree with your view, but I do not state you talk out of your "backside", even if I believe you do. Insults does not make your view correct.
I hope your bedside manner is better.

nice

My God man no one is deluded, and no one is jealous of you.

​
You are the typical know-it-all scumbag. At least do some research if you're going to talk utter rubbish; I pay for my food, and I pay for lodgings and as far as I know, haven't committed any war crimes. Good going eh? What I have done over the years is various bits of charity and community work, including building and recovering flood defenses.

What have you done?

Except a junior doctor with a chip on his shoulder, accusing others of a chip on theirs.
If you cannot debate without begining insults, do not debate at all. I would expect better from a doctor :wink:

Jesus, can someone PLEASE mention Hitler, so we can invoke Godwin's Law and be done with it?! Common Sense my ar5e...

So basically £4 discount, not that great

You have already done it. You could have elected not to respond and the debate would be over.

This is not a debate. This is 20% off at nandos.

We protected York in 2000 from the floods, filling over 1 million sandbags and saving countless number of homes from the rising water, for our efforts We and our Unit were given the Freedom of York :smiley:

I have put that bloke with no common sense on ignore.. doing my head in!

Wait till he finds out the armed forces get 20% off Frankie and Benny's :wink:

Haha, yeah I forgot about that one, we used to get 10% off at hSamuels,but not been in there for a while.
You get no joining fee at most gyms too.
Can of worms.

Out of interest, I was under the impression you got free food and board in the army?

Honestly.. These rich kids have nothing wrong with them, just little things they'll grow out of. Their parents sit in the corner on their phone throwing money at something which isnt even a problem.. Also those children are so spoilt they're never thankful for anything.
Okay.. if you're willing to **** off stroke patients.. this sort of work in the NHS also covers children, school age or below, that have either been abused or have severe learning difficulties.
Go ahead - try and make helping disabled and disadvantaged children sound not as worthwhile as rich kids with lisps.

No they take it from your wage each month, so it kind of looks like it's free but it ain't

You absolute horror!

It's very difficult debating with a tool who's information is fabricated. You are a simple minded keyboard warrior. Heaven forbid that you ever need a doctor or nurse, we are all **** after all! TIT!

When I served we paid monthly food and accommodation charges. Just after I left it went to something called Pay as you dine... (self explanatory)
dunno what they do now?

Get 50% on Dominos

So, it is difficult to debate with you, as your describe yourself.

you could look at it completely the other way though. because there are a lot of hardworking nurses, police, etc, then anybody who criticises a deal like this is called names. There are a lot of nurses with terrible attitudes towards patients and appalling work ethic, who work alongside the great nurses. there are also lots of excellent nurses working in the private sector who get zero. Some people think working for the nhs or police makes you automatically a great worthy person. we all do our jobs to earn money. and most of us have to put up with ungrateful horrid customers. working for the nhs doesn't make you any more worthy than anyone else I'm afraid

nobody forces them to do the job they do. it's a very courageous job. but there are people who work on the roads through the night to get the motorway open for the morning, people who go down into sewers and wade through peoples excrement to make sure the sewers run, nurses and carers in private care homes who get verbally and physically abused and spat at, people who work all hours keeping trains and trams running, there are thousands of people who do a great job in all sectors, all who help keep people happy and safe in one way or another, and some people do a great job for much less money and poorer pensions than the nhs, fire and police, and get overlooked as not worthy by these people. at the end of the day, we all do it for money.

I've also worked hard to get where I am, as have many others. It's not only NHS staff that work hard. We have a 3 man team looking after our 1000+ bed hospital overnight and at weekends, this includes the electrics, plumbing, air handling, drainage, medical gas pipeline systems, we keep the lights on, the theatres running, the pneumatic pod system (which transports samples and prescriptions around the hospital) running, the fire alarm and sprinkler systems running, I could go on. Why do you feel a greater sense of entitlement than me?

Probably because the POD system is always losing my blood samples :smirk:

Nobody is more entitled than you, no one deserves more than you.

However you cannot compare these jobs. You do a great job with alot of pressure as do those guys who put their lives at risk on the motorway or in the sewer. But its the direct pressure of your direct action which can be life or death in medicine. Nurse administers the wrong drug - patient dead, misses deteriorating patient and doesn't inform a senior - patient dead. Doctor sends the person home who crumples. These weigh on your mind and soul constantly.

Again, not implying this makes anyone more or less entitled.

but nurses and doctors in the private sector have the same issues, why aren't they entitled?
my point is, there are folk in here who think that because a person works for the NHS, they 'deserve' more. They are doing their jobs, just like the rest of us. Nobody forced any of these people to choose their given profession, they did it for themselves, to earn a good living. And there are some good, and some bad, just like in all other professions. And anybody who criticizes the deal is labelled bitter, or a moron etc.

I can't comment on your pod system, but 90 percent of issues with ours are down to user error. We then get a call from an irate nurse, who is sometimes rude to us, and we do our utmost to locate the lost sample/prescription, and get it to the right place.

I'm not scoring points mate but there's not a job with the same responsibility. You could cock up and get a replacement part, we cock up and someones dad could be dead, especially in the area where i work. Christ a kinked line could cause someone to arrest after a mere few seconds.
No one is, apart from the odd few, is 'dissing' anyones job or role in society. We know how good we are and it's about time we are rewarded for it. Even it is DISCOUNT ON BLOODY CHICKEN!

Bet you look in the mirror in the morning and can't help but have an argument with yourself.

To be honest. A lot of crazy comments here. I'm happy to pay 20% more than workers in those sectors. Or should I have a mid life career change to save 20% off some chicken but I could be sent to a war zone in the mean time where I have no nandos local to even spend it in. And good on these company's to cut there profit margins for these workers.

You are correct about private but its less stressful as they don't deal with the acutely sick.

And as I said twice, nothing to do with entitlement.

Not our pods. Don't need to enter destination, all pre determined! Just those damn entitled pod overlords! :smile:

admittedly, if I feel strongly about something, I will stand my ground. but, pot and kettle springs to mind :smirk:

You're a very arrogant man. You get rewarded with your wages. If I cock up, the entire hospital could lose it's oxygen supply to all wards. The nurse call crash system could fail etc etc. We've had theatre issues where operations have had to stop mid way through until we put the fault right, with a patient on the table sedated. My other half is a nurse in a private home, and saved an elderly stroke patients life last week. There are lots of people in all sections of society who are good at what they do, but don't feel any 'entitlement' except for the wages they earn. You do feel more entitled, as these statements quite clearly show.

'How dare we speak out'
'We know how good we are and it's time we are rewarded for it'

If you feel you are soooooo underpaid, move on, work on the roads, in construction, etc. You're not obliged to continue your job if you're paid too little.

Ooh, a jealous person who resorts to insults due to a lack of intelligence.
Do you look in the mirror and wonder "If only I worked harder, I could have done so much better?" Let me guess, the mirror cracked.

Let's continue the argument.....or should I say trade insults. I will go down to your level.
You could always walk away. Remember, you started the insults :wink:

I agree, there are a lot of worthy people out there, what annoyed me is when celebrities who have got a big fat salary and invited to all the best events etc , who do nothing more than say oh, give to a worthy cause go on and get a knight hood, really annoyed me that , then they get £30k for appearing I'm a celebrity.
Give the medals and the gongs to the people who have really made a difference, the lollipop lady, the couple who have fostered hundreds of kids, the person who has helped the elderly and disabled and the thousands of others , they are the true heroes of the country and a lot of them do it for free not a wage.

Everyone has an important role.
If you're so aggrieved with not getting 20% at Nandos off join the NHS and stop moaning.

Jealous? What do you do that I'm jealous of exactly?

The heat on this deal shows where the favour on this 'argument' lies :wink:

Don't be so Jelly!

Heat from me.

Whole lot of people on here who failed the selection tests...

I'm not aggrieved with not getting 20% off. I get annoyed at people thinking that anyone who works for the NHS is automatically more worthy than the rest of society, and more deserving of discounts than anyone else. Like they're better people or something. It's utter rubbish.

It was a mistake to ask.

Compared to people around you, a lack of intelligence; money, and a poor education culminating in the inability to debate without beginning to post insults.

If you do not agree with views of others, say so without hurling insults and expletives. Do not start personal attacks. If you cannot do so, the insults will be thrown back a lot harder. People like you are so easy to wind up. It is comical.

Why are you a nurse in an intensive care unit? Perhaps, you simply were not intelligent enough to become a doctor. Remember the hierarchy. Doctors are superior to nurses. Their pay reflects this. (This is not below the belt – it is a fact).

The clue is in your expletives. They are typical of the poorly educated. What was that word? Ah, “pleb” (now that’s below the belt). As for a nurse eating at Nandos, is this really healthy? I wonder why so many nurses appear to be clinically obese. Is it the discounts at the fast food outlets they cherish?

I too, can be nasty! Do you want to continue the insults? May be you realise if you hurl insults, they come flying back twice as hard, so once this happens, it may be better to “walk away” than continue to respond.

No, you don't have much respect for the Police, until you need them.

That's a very intelligent reply, not. Another nob.

​You my friend, are arguing with a moron. It really is like debating with a 3 year old.

​You my friend, are arguing with a moron. It really is like debating with a 3 year old.

20% off something that is double the price it should be anyhow. You seen the size of these 'chickens' more like chicks. Definite cold from me.

You seem to misunderstand the definition of elitism...

No. That's why - if you check - I used the term in inverted commas.

We all pay taxes and the end of the day... They risk or save lives for pennies "and the end of the day". You just make ppl laugh with your grammar...

Soo funny some of these comments, just enjoy the chicken

I went to college to learn my trade within the NHS! Maybe you who are criticising us should do the same, instead of sitting slagging us off who have earned our perspective positions!

Of course, only NHS staff have earned their positions. Do you think anyone who disagrees with this is on the dole? It's exactly this sense of entitlement from workers in these sectors that annoys some people. You do nothing more than me or my other half.

Hah just got this to 999 heat :sunglasses:

​No they don't. stop believing everything you read on the tinterweb

​No no.. We get to safe normal people and also the idiots who think they pay our wages. I think it works out something like .2p per service person from council tax so pau our wages ? cheers for the .2p
normally the same idiots that use 70% of emergency services on a regular basis who also get all other tax credits and benefits meaning the 30% of the population who need emergency services get a worse service.
