None of my employment contracts have been fixed term and they have all had notice periods in them.

Wouldn't the pay off to PB be due to the fact that we sacked him so we pay him off to prevent him bringing a wrongful/unfair dismissal claim?
 
There are much worse places then Hull and Leicester.

Hull - In my opinion is a beautiful city barring estates such as Bransholme, Orchard Park but EVERY city has them.
Leicester - Very nice city centre but once again has some **** estates and streets.

East Yorkshire - Probably the nicest county in the UK
Leicestershire - Another nice county.


I do Travel & Tourism and i can end this argument right here, right now.

According to the 2011 stats nor Hull or Leicester are in the top 20 worst places to live.
Nottingham is currently the UK's worst place to live.
 
I used to be a regular visitor to Belfast during the troubles(early 80's) and I loved the place, there's obviously some seriously bad areas, but overall I think it's a great place.

They know how to have to a business meeting there, each trip was normally three hours work, followed by five hours in the pub. <cheers>

Went there in the summer, thought it was very scenic- didn't go to any of the sites but drove past them, like the docks where Titanic was built. Thought the hills on the outskirts were very picturesque. Saw the Sandy Row mural and all the Union Jacks on the Shankhill Road. Can't imagine any of that here. Pubs were class- got a proper pint of Guinness and a pint of Harp lager. The pubs & clubs were busy, the food was good and the people were friendly and welcoming. Top weekend.

My votes for biggest ****holes- Sunderland or South Shields.

Nottingham is currently the UK's worst place to live.

Nottingham has the best ratio of women to men in the UK.
 
Nottingham has the best ratio of women to men in the UK.

Unfortunately, that stat was from the 1970s. Since then, approx. 150,000 single men then moved into the area. Now the ratio is 5/2 in favour of men.

And I'm not surprised that Nottingham is the worst place to live. It's full of human dross.

Many of those best places look like touristy areas though. I don't think I'd enjoy living in the isolation of many of those places.

Good job 1977 was the last time I spent a few days in Nottingham!
 
It's standard practice for key personnel to have a three month 'gardening leave' clause in their contract, preventing them from working for a competitor business until at least three months after resigning. Almost everyone I deal with has them, many of them have enjoyed some very long holidays over the years.

That's rolling contracts though isn't it?

None of my employment contracts have been fixed term and they have all had notice periods in them.

Yeah, if you didn't have a notice period you would essenially be contracted for life with no release.
But, the contracts on question ARE fixed term contracts so they wouldn't be tied in for life.
