My Mistake

This weekend I made a mistake, I ordered a Tesco Delivery and when it arrived I saw they had substituted a 24 roll of Toilet paper with a 12 roll and were charging me same price , I said wait a minute and called Tesco whom said to me “you’re correct , keep the 12 pack and we’ll send you a full refund”

Now that wasn’t my mistake , my Mistake I was so proud of the fact and remembering when i lived in Israel customer Service was non existent I posted on Facebook Group Brits Living in Israel , now if you’re not aware of this fantastic group which has 9000 members and growing , then you should, this group shows what Facebook is a place to help and support fellow Brits and others too, this group single handily helped when the brits were forced into Covid hotels with no prior notice , or raffle off British goods and deliciousties to support charities or helping Brits navigate the bureaucracies of Israeli lifestyle or even answer the old age question, where can a Brit find Heinz baked beans in Israel, or Terminal easy Jet fly from .

I posted on the group and true to social media got roasted with people telling me Supersol and Wolt have similar , which I’m happy hearing that as for me it was a bane that Israel’s customer service was poor.

But what hurt me the most was the countless comments “you don’t live here anymore, how dare you criticise Israel” and it continued until Anton Delin the admin a modern life Hero who deserves also the Israeli prize and Knighthood for his unbelievable goodness of heart , shut everybody down by saying to everyone how even though I’ve gone I still help countless people and work hard to support them and the reasoning’s of me leaving are beyond my control and knowing as soon as I’m able I’ll be back and then promptly shut off commenting on this post.

And it got me thinking in this one I was wrong but the idea of social Media of people commenting without knowing the full situation is frightening aspect .

Sometimes people mean one thing and it actually means something else, when I was 6 my father had on the table a bottle of alcohol I asked for some he said its too strong so I knocked it over and said , see I’m stronger then it , obviously we both had different interpretation of strength .

When one reads into a post before commenting think is this a message I want to give, do I know the full back story ?

Words kill and especially words are viral ...

Reflection of a year to Blog

It has been just over a year since I started publishing my blog. I started writing a blog on the advice of Hillel Fuld in order to enhance my career and get more people informed about what I do. Unfortunately, as of yet, that hasn't happened, Hillel doesn't get everything right. But in a way, the blog has become a sanctuary for me to talk about my achievements, air my grievances, and let myself feel better in life. I think through the blog I have found clarity in myself on different aspects of my life, I have learned things about myself and what is necessary for me to change and I have learned skills I have that I never thought I needed or could utilise.  In sales, one must believe in the product to sell it. Through the blog, I learned that I need to believe in myself in order to sell myself. It has given me the confidence to push for things I wouldn't have necessarily done. This weekend, I was talking to a friend Martin Heimann who owns a telecommunications company in Manc...

My country is at war

I had written my blog for August and September, they were going to go up very soon but I can't put up trivial things when my country is at war, when my people and friends have been kidnapped and murdered by terrorists calling themselves freedom fighters for Palestine.  Make no mistake Hamas is not Palestine and does not represent any faction of Palestine, they are a terrorist group that cause harm to the Palestinian cause. Any person that harms civilians for their own benefit is evil. Hamas, besides the atrocities they committed last week, use civilians as bait , not allowing them to get to safety and making sure their terrorist headquarters are in vulnerable areas such as childrens' schools and UN hospitals.  As a Zionist Israeli and a left wing activist, the horror on both sides is intense, I lost friends and colleagues; innocent people, civilians who wanted to live. Also in Gaza, people have died due to being held hostage by Hamas, over 200 Israelis have been kidnapped by...
