    Used to work as a permie in Defence industry. Never went to any dodgy places but some of my colleagues did. Not for me thank you.

    Not going into details for obvious reasons but even permies who went to dodgy places got a MASSIVE daily bonus. Life changing amounts for, say, 6 weeks there.

    It was a LOT more than £150!!!!!

    If you spend so long there (Even in a few visits) you get an active serice medal too.

      I agree I was staying in the Slough Travelsplodge or Lenny Henry (can't remember which) some years ago and some toe rag on a BMX came along with a brick and did every side window of every car in the car park and side road just for a laugh.

      I didn't go back there again
      So now I am worried, am I being deceived, just how much sugar is really in a spoon full!
