^^^^^^^^^^ tesco clubcard points mate…
Franglais:
For what its worth I couldn
t care less whether or not a driver facing camera is used whilst I am driving.
I don`t accept that makes me in any way “lower”.
If you don’t care then it’s not relevant in the first instance.
Sploom is essentially taking about “selling principles” and he’s set his price at £200 originally, but is now, as Rob indicates, playing a childish game of “how far would you go?” and raised to to £500.
It’s no different to the anecdotal story about the old man (in one version it’s attributed that pervy literature illuminati Vladimir Nabakov) who offers a young woman a million pounds to sleep with him, which she agrees to. Then he asks her if she’ll do it for a tenner and she says in outrage “What kind of girl do you think I am!?” To which he responds “We’ve established what kind of girl you are, we’re just trying to agree a price”.
What Sploom cannot understand is that some people aren’t like the metaphorical cap-in-hand Uriah Heep “be I ever so 'umble sir…” and are happy to leave a situation that doesn’t suit them rather than stay where they are and be treated in a way they do not want to accept.
Money is not everything, many people would accept a lower wage if it meant more acceptable working conditions.
m.a.n rules:
^^^^^^^^^^ tesco clubcard points mate…
I did think that but just checking.
I get the sane amount of points as I did before I worked there mate, sane as you get on your shopping etc etc. In fact I get less points than joe public because of my staff discount
You know what it’s like mate, I always used to have a hatred of supermarket plobbers and assumed that we’re so heavily watched they had to do 35 in a 40. Now after all these tears I realise the majority are doing those speeds just to waste some more time
Watch out for the forward facing cameras that are set back from the windscreen that also capture the reflection of the driver in the windscreen, especially at night. Including those that are the “only record 30 seconds when triggered” type. Also when you go for a ■■■■ outside the passenger door.

I heard that story attributed to Charles Dickens and a dinner party. Bit less pervy.

Some things, people would die for. True.
How many would apply that to in cab cameras?
Reductio ad absurdum
Million quid for one shift? Would you say no?
You don`t want a minnion quid for yourself? Think what genuine good that would do.
Sunday morning and the frost hasn`t burnt off yet!
If he offered a million,I would definitley do a 15 hour shift with a camera.I would wash his feet for that much!

Also frequently attributed to Churchill, amongst others, but it seems more pointed if it was coming from Nabakov

A valid point, but the premise was an ongoing situation for a relatively small bonus.
Going back to Sploom’s original comment, I wouldn’t accept that in extremis equates to “everyone has their price”. There are extreme things I would do for specific reasons that I would not do simply for money.

Spill!..
You can’t just leave the reader wondering what those things are.

Waaay off topic…
But I’m bouncing around my kitchen listening to that track now.
