At least we don't have to worry about him leaving to pursue an acting career!

We tried this a few years back, it was called work fare and it was a complete disaster. The end result was essentially big employers enrolled in the scheme replacing low paid staff with people on the work fare scheme knowing the government would pay them rather than the employer. So it was...

That's great if you're renting, although its capped isn't it and often below what you're actually paying in the real world. I don't exactly live in a mansion but the housing benefit cap would be about £400 a month less than rents round here. And of course that assumes everyone who suddenly...

When people talk about average train driver pay you have to factor in that you're talking about an industry which has built up an operational model entirely reliant on overtime. There is a massive shortage of drivers. Anyone who uses the trains regularly will be able to tell you about...

How is this possible? My doctor recommended that I leave my job for health reasons. Essentially a quit your job or the stress will end up killing you conversation. I looked into how much I could get. Being hugely optimistic about how a health assessment would go the total I would get came to...

When people compare doctors starting salaries are they factoring in the cost of training. We're being told to ignore the likes of Australia and the US and instead compare with countries that pay new starters less. But are the new starters in those countries starting with effectively an...

This forum makes me laugh sometimes. A few pages back we were having a discussion about how the country is going downhill and one of the things that came up was piss poor wages leading to people who are qualified in certain things leaving the country to get better pay. Move forward a few pages...

I would never buy from viagogo or stubhub. Firstly you're supporting resale at inflated prices. These aren't people who happen to have a spare ticket, its industrial sale touting that stops the tickets ever reaching the primary market and frankly should be illegal. But secondly seen far too...

well at least they've had a successful year and didn't have to shut down for days because they'd ignored warnings to sort out the power supply to the airport

Probably worth pointing out they weren't happy with what they got a couple of years ago. What happened was a change of government in the midst of the longest running dispute in NHS history. There was a will on both sides to get a deal done. The reason the deal was only for 2 years is that it...

1st (Lancs) vs 4th (Bears) tonight, nice weather. Edgbaston is empty, got to be one of the lowest crowds they've ever had for a T20. This competition has been absolutely destroyed by the powers that be.

At least in the area my ex worked in the process went like this. 1) budget cuts lead to staff cuts 2) there's now not enough staff to do the job safely, especially if anyone is off sick, on holiday etc 3) agency workers get called in to maintain minimum 'safe' staffing levels 4) the agency...

The options are pay for someone who is good enough to take Dovin's place and will come here expecting to be first choice, take a prem kid on loan and hope he's good enough or if we can find one an experianced pro who is maybe a prem second or third choice who is happy with a 6 month loan. The...

think it means they've washed it

I don't think it would be a disaster but I'd rather we bought someone in to cover for Dovin. However if we have limited funds Lampard will have to decide if that is a priority. Worried that if we don't bring someone in there will be a temptation to rush Dovin back.

Has the penny finally dropped?

Can't be any help I'm afraid but it seems to be the same story everywhere. Not got kids myself but my mates who have kids who are either back from uni or looking for permanent jobs can't find anything. Sad seeing them getting increasingly desperate for anything and in some cases submitting...

Everything has a gofundme now. Sometimes feel like I'm the only one actually paying for stuff myself! Bit misleading as well. Asking for 20K to replace a truck but when you look at the pictures its actually a trailer, not one of their trucks. Plus, as you say, surely it would have been insured?

Are they taking them offsale so they can put individual game tickets on sale?
