1 - To Friends, Foes, and Strangers

Upfront, sorry for the LOW VOLUME, this is the first episode I've done spontaneously, having had a cold and using an old phone. Apologies. The other episodes are louder and clearer. ---  I didn't want to do a podcast, and don't really call this a podcast as such as I am more waffling along, but I've written a lot about my brother and then later about my former workplace Pret A Manger where I was bullied during bereavement. I write extensively on this and other issues on expret.org ---  My mum's death during lock-down in 2021 is hitting me at the moment of recording and beyond. I couldn't bury her, and like with my brother, everything about my family's passing seems not normal and I am just moving in an ongoing Twilight Zone.  Some of you who know me only a little bit or since recently may be shocked what I share about Pret. But my story is very complex since my brother died and I have become tired of writing and just want to speak from my gut. I have evidence that I share on my blog as well as customers and staff sharing their experiences. ---  I never thought I'd lose almost every friend I've ever had, almost from the moment my I received the news of his death. Apologies in advance for the bad language. But it is what it is.  For anything further on Pret, please see: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠expret.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ For links to Pret issues, please see: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠linktr.ee/expret.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Thank you for listening.
