Biglad Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I know you're trying to do the right thing but where can this thread really go now other than back over the same rubbish that was being said before? Would it not just be better to keep the thread and lock it? Just my opinion mind you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enkelt skapninger Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 The Northlink Ferries did indeed have Norovirus last year. The hospital pretty much escaped it, which makes it one of the only hospitals in the UK not to have been affected. (Those alcohol gel handrub things DO work, if you use them!) There are around a million cases of norovirus each year in the UK (mostly unreported), and it is a real problem for hospitals, hotels and ships. Hand hygiene is very important as Paulb mentions. Also, if you do get it, stay off work! It is very infectious indeed (not that you'd want to be any further than 5 yards away from a toilet and a bucket anyway!!) You're still likely to be infectious for up to 48 hours after your symptoms cease, so try to avoid going back to work too soon. This is doubly important if you work in healthcare or catering. There is a test for norovirus on stool samples, but to be honest it isn't really used much, as a negative result doesn't rule out other viral causes of D&V. It tends to get used in the hospital to confirm that an outbreak is due to norovirus or not, but the infection control precautions used when dealing with D&V don't change whether the test is positive or not.

Pengoo16 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 This has to be without a doubt the most pathetic thing i have ever read in all my life. instead of sitting about complaining about someone on the internet where everyone can see it, go to the person and complain to them face to face. have you ever thought that the reason he might have been a bit rude to you is because of the way you came across to him? maybe if you had some manners, he'd go out of his way to be nice to you. grow a pair and stop being a coward.

i i Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I think its absolutely pathetic that you are all downing somebody so much on an online forum, just because its anonymous. If your not man enough to say it to the persons face you shouldn't say it on here! I am still waiting for a response from the Sumburgh Hotel regarding my complaint.... Complaining is something you should probably keep to yourself and not publicise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Airport catering all over the UK is unspeakable, always has been, probably always will be, Sumburgh has never been any better, or worse than any other. I seriously doubt its suddenly gotten worse, so what's the fuss about now.... Its a hellish job, made worse in Sumburgh's case by it being an even more hellish than most building...So what if you get a bit of attitude with your tae and sandwich, just be grateful you got in through arrivals and out the main door, or vice versa with your life and sanity intact. Some of us who've worked in that building in time past, have been looking for our sanity ever since we managed to finally escape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances144 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Can I just say that there is nothing better than a bacon roll after you have driven for over an hour at the crack of sparrows to catch the first plane south. I am not my best in the morning, but that roll and cuppa tea manage to put me in a reasonable mood for the next ordeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyboy Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I ate at the airport yesterday. Nice roll and tea in the morning. All the food looked good and there was plenty of choice. At lunch time I had a fine macaroni and cheese. Both the staff were friendly and helpful. What a great improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
