Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -
East Midland trains offer nowt much on first.
Slightly bigger seats, orange juice and a miniature breakfast bar in the morning. Tea, coffee and water. and the financial times.
You have to pay extra for breakfast or any other food.
In the evening you get tea, coffee, water, some paltry red and white wine that would suffice as drain cleaner and a small packet of peanuts.
This is only available till 7pm and they stop serving wine after that.
Not worth paying £900 odd a month for on my season ticket.Comment
