As long as they come the day ABP put their bloody cheque in the post, I don’t care about the rest.
Absolutely ridiculous a firm that big pays by cheque anyway

Most of the posties around here are now part time, we're on a van round of which there are five, so the six drivers and a couple of bosses are now the only full time staff.
Over the last couple of years both here and Holmfirth have a lot of former walking rounds covered by two in a van working 4 to 5 hours a day.

Was watching one last night. Most of those receiving free food covered in tattoos.
They could afford that, but not food.

I knew a big lad who used to drive HGV, one day a special needs child ran off the pavement and went right under the wheel. The mother who witnessed it told him that he was absolutely not to blame, but he never drove a lorry againYeah its a rough job that the train driver has nowt too do with
I know iam being blinkers on here but if the train driver see's anyone before the train hits them aslong as nowt flys up across the trains windscreen is it that bad they cant handle it
be fine when they hit a Deer or Cow tho?
Ive not driven a train & have no interest in doing so but id be putting cow catchers on the front to push them out the way...

What do you expect?
I heat my house with wood under the RHI, so only use electricity for cooking, white goods etc, and my leccy has doubled from £50 to £100/ month, Diesel is £1.99, food is going up. I've just had a payrise (incremental) and I'm actually worse off.
It's easy to see how someone who was on the edge before would be absolutely screwed now.

I think most people are unfortunately.
Most now seem to look at monthly payments, not how much something actually costs! Car salesman look at me like I've got 2 heads when I say I'm only interested in cost to change.

If fairness was to come into the pay rise equation then a flat rate increase across the whole staff (including management) in an industry would be the way to do it - % rate increases only serve to perpetuate inequalities.
