My eldest texted via Whatsapp yesterday. There's a pub in Stockton Heath called the Red Lion where we used to meet for a drink. She drove past the Red Lion in Dubai yesterday. She's now scouring the place for The Cheshire Cheese
I know Dubai is a lot more liberal than other neighbouring countries and allows alcohol, but I didn't realise public drinking was allowed. Surprised they have pubs. That's good. . I imagine mostly foreigners in the pubs. I suspect you wouldn't want to leave a pub visibly drunk there?
I hear it's total blind eye. I hear there's lots of doctors teachers engineers etc over there. zero tax but wages just ok. the no tax is what fills their boots.
Don't tell me Gina turned up unexpectedly at the office and serviced the entire staff, before producing a cold can of Carling from her arse as a Xmas present!
Closest When I got in yesterday morning, the MD asked to have a personal word with me - a 'good' personal word, I got a pay rise a while back. It seems that, bar the first month after, I hadn't been paid at the new salary. Just short of £2000 after tax and NI straight into my account yesterday. Totally unexpected
