John Lewis staff in Bristol celebrate share of £151m bonus

Sites like these are supposed to promote the town and people not business and greed thieving and lying by private companies who enslave and sell rubbish to children who can ill afford to buy it and end up in debt, no student grant, vastly expensive schools but shortage of teachers, no decent sport, being told to slim to make Business rich, cheated by TV programmes that tell them they are about  to drown in a mythology, denying planning controls to keep them safe, removing the taxes to fraud instead of fixing the roads, telling us we are all in debt because politicians and banks lost all the money they say they raised by equity, that they tell us to borrow for business instead of being paid our salaries to good for others, selling gambling including the lottery; what side of a tree did Operator fall out of as a BBC promoted evolution concept to destruction in wars generated by private companies and politicians during the last few years that kill all the children you claim to promote ??

Well, I read MikeHydroSoil's comment about 6 times and still couldn't decide if he agreed with me or not! I guess not.

I think it's a shame if sites like these - supposed to promote business and harmany in the town - become bogged-down with people criticising anything and everyone. Negative comments do no good for anyone, but I can imagine many people see it as boosting themselves.

There will be many John Lewis people who live in Portishead, and of course, some of their bonuses, as well as their normal pay, will be spent in Portishead, directly benefitting all of us.

For goodness sake, let's get away from negativity and be a little more constructive and less divisive in our approach on this notice board, otherwise it won't be worth reading.

That would explain the general fall in John Lewis quality of products, some just old technology, the sales approach, the useless frippery, whereas staff used to be very good and helpful in 1982, most of those have left or are silenced, the cold coffee, the bouncy floor built under M&S (John Lewis contractor's build). Maybe Shirley will trampoline rise up out of the men's PINK department singing and the food hall of luscious food and subside back down into the Welsh marsh run by BBC development agency with all the rest of the poor people forced to live on it. Engineering design Pah ! the place is rotting already. We used to have a moral and ethically worked country before 1979. I can see it, although not IStructE qualified, if I were I would be a multi-millionaire consultant on structural failures in Europe alone. But don't listen, spend all your debt tomorrow while God expects honour, it is your financial collapse, enjoy it, the BBC keeps telling you, you are a disaster .. I  do not believe them but they are sure suicide is the only answer, as in M.A.S.H. In contrast to this a freely offered able comment Quote of the week, Jonathan: "That's just where we wanted to be, 10 points behind Ireland" BBC half time Six Nations Ireland Wales Saturday 13 March 2010.

I think it's absolutely brilliant to hear about the continuing success story of the John Lewis Partnership.
How often do we hear about, and experience, bad customer service? Always; from Waitrose and John Lewis? Hardly ever.

The training is clearly excellent, the standards are always high, the staff at all levels are courteous, polite, understanding, and knowledgeable.

Certainly the management have to accept a lot of credit for a job well done over this past year. It's just a shame that so many other companies in the UK think so much of themselves that they intimidate their staff and resort to bullying. At the end of the day, these staff members will not get satisfaction from their job, and in turn treat customers with the same contempt.

Well done, all of you. Great news.
