      And the best bit?

      I was permie so received no extra money.


      I'd require time off in lieu at the very least.

        I think it's because I read that other site that goes into vast & apalling detail about worms...

        Or I've got lodgers.
        other site? you mean general?

          I think some people here find him and Churchill a bit robust - IMO they are spot on. you cant be too sensitve here - we are supposed to be businessmen.

          best to call a spade a spade - rather than an optimum logic sub stratum revelation device...
          Don't go there, it upsets Ferret...

          Next thing you know, I'll be talking about Dutch Hoes...

            I remember a gig at ubs. Team next to me had no overtime - neither for contract or permie. They worked about 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, for 6 months.

            At the end each got a bottle of spirits!

                I've always had a strict rule: if you want my time you pay for it... and if you don't like it, then you can find some other fecker who suits you better...

                Go ahead: make my day...

                  I agree strongly. I have never done it. I have seen a few cases where people get abused.

                    I managed not to buy the propane torch & regulator they were selling a couple of weeks ago, but it was a close run thing...
