    London trip advice

    There are websites where you can buy cheaper train tickets but they usually mean having to change trains a couple of times. Our resident rail expert @Otis would know what they are.

    London trip advice

    I would get the best hotel that you can afford in Central London. This will cut out unnecessary tube journeys in and out every day. You won't need a car so either pay for parking close to London and get public transport in or just use the train from wherever you live. Remember if you drive down...

    Holiday pay

    I would normally put it down as a life lesson for him but the company were really arsey with him threatening to deduct his wages for late returning of his uniform after agreeing he could return it later after washing it first. We have been in touch with ACAS & they have said he is due 1.4 days...

    Holiday pay

    The job had a 6 month probation period. Surely you are allowed to take paid leave during that time?

    Holiday pay

    My son started work for a local company and after working for them for 2 1/2 weeks they decided that the job wasn't for him. Are they due him holiday pay for the time that he worked?

    Birmingham match moved to Friday night

    Was coming down for this, as I was for WBA and still planning to do for Stoke. Seriously pissed off about it. I'm now thinking of coming down for WBA as I don't work Mondays but it will mean my son will miss out as he does. If anyone in Scotland south of Stirling/Northern England fancies coming...

    Preston Tickets

    Only game I have left early, was pissed off with Preston's anti-football tactics & thought with a couple of minutes left we were going to lose & it was a long drive home. I thought the noise from the crowd was the final whistle & was shocked to hear when scores were read out on radio 5 and he...

    Anyone with Guinea-Bissauan ancestry?

    As you have got older have you discovered cardigans and become the Val Doonican of SBT?

    Things that annoy you

    TV adverts but specifically those for Flash, Vanish and those perfumed balls to put in washing machines. How the hell did people get their houses clean before Flash came up with dust packets & floor wipes that are use once and bin, so much for the environment as well eh Flash? And as for Vanish...

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    Ayari played a lovely through ball in the 2nd half that either Simms or Wright could have gone for. Simms tried to get to it but wasn't quick enough, Wright didn't bother. I realise that the players are getting used to each other but surely forwards know that there is a chance the ball can be...

    Norwich ratings

    I have just got back to a wet & cold Scotland. I wasn’t confident of getting anything from the game on the way down mainly due to our lack of options in midfield and was delighted with what I saw. We are turning into a very good team with good players to come back in. The only negative was...

    Premier League thread

    I think some have been wrong but not as clearcut as this. Not VAR but what about the goal involving Villa because goal line technology was not switched on, that wrong decision was enough to stop Villa getting relegated.

    Sheffield Wednesday

    Me too, my suggestion that they may have been involved in her disappearance or even death was not well received at work.

    Premier League thread

    There have been plenty of wrong decisions with VAR including some in Liverpool's favour, why is this one causing such a fuss other than it was against Liverpool. I can't help thinking that if this happened against Luton or Sheff Utd it would be forgotten by now.
