I once sent a large amount of TD press cuttings to a guy in Portugal, his kid beat him to it and made the entire collection into paper hats...well, I thought it was funny anyway :D

Apparently I've got to go to bed early on Christmas Eve....... my eldest son says that, because I was late getting to bed last year, I made Santa late delivering his presents.

No sleep for me this year, I'm working Christmas Eve night, Christmas Night, Boxing Day night etc. My company have also seen fit to do away with the traditional triple pay and replace it with single time and a day in lieu. The rest of my shift however, will be paid double time and a lieu day. Merry bleeding Christmas! :x

It's another attempt to breach their contract Colin. This follows cold on the heels of a 3.2% pay rise that is nearly 3 months overdue. Having been awarded the rise, the Company have now said it's under review by the board. I've now got to undertake grievances over both issues. :x

They know they are wrong and I'll get my money eventually, but meanwhile it's all earning the Company extra interest. :evil:

Our Union(GMB) urged us to except a 2.7% rise in April and we only had it last week,we have still not received the back money.. Unison turned it down and ended up with a bigger rise :evil: bad advice from a union who is more for the employer than the empoyee IMHO :evil:

And what has this got to do with "One times One" :mrgreen: :wink:
