Morning, Dave; morning, all. Back to the grindstone. Second good win on the bounce, Dave, and enough time to make the playoffs.
Morning all, it is not just a bit chilly here, but cold. Last nights snow didn't amount to anything, but the forecast says we will have a light covering this evening. I think I have a slow puncture in one of my car tyres as over two or three days it deflates slightly. I better get it seen to this morning as it is not much fun standing outside while my pump goes to work.
Morning all from a cold island. I'm looking forward to seeing my colleague who supports Chelsea. After their game against Bournemouth, I said that they would bounce back against us, and he said "I apologise in advance".
Morning all. A monochrome morning here as I look out of the window at the snow that fell overnight. White and grey only, it is like TV before the introduction of colour. The road is clear, but not far away it is not the same. The forecast says there is more to come, but I am surrounded by a warm glow from last night so not that bothered.
Me too.. I woke up feeling pretty good in the mountains of Southern Spain.. And then remembered we had one and felt even better! Sent from my G3121 using Tapatalk
Any experts on Employment Law on here? My son is in his last year of Uni & has mostly funded his need to eat, as well as drink and socialise, via a part-time job with ASDA. All had gone there without problem, until he received his payslip for January last week - and found that he had been underpaid by around £150 - a fairly massive amount for him. When he queried it, ASDA investigated & admitted their mistake. The problem is that they then gave him two options:- 1) they would pay him the missing amount next month with his pay for February, or 2) he could have the money now in the form of a 'loan' - a loan that would come hand-in-hand with a fee equivalent to 33% of the loaned amount. Basically, their Pay Department have made a mistake, have admitted to that mistake, have offered to correct that mistake but charge him a hefty fee for doing so. Is that even legal?
It would not have been legal in the days when I ran a business, but who knows if things have changed. I would suggest that he had a word with the citizens advice bureau, but unfortunately by the time that the case was sorted it would probably be the next pay day.
Thanks - you're probably right. In all probability, making waves with them would also mean the sack. A few decades ago now, but I spent around four years working in the Pay office of a large meat export company - 1500 employees - and, although not common, arranging loans before payday was a simple task that took only a matter of minutes. I really can't see how ASDA can justify their action here. My son has the misfortune to live in a Tory constituency - I think I'll recommend that he complain to his MP - and keep all documentation for me...
Morning all, the snow that fell yesterday is still here, which is not surprising as the temperature is not expected to rise above 1°C, and it is below that at present. There is some more falling, but it is very light, and I don't see the roads becoming blocked. Being a farming community there is always a tractor available to clear a passage out, although I can only remember that being required once or twice in the ten years I have lived here. The gritting lorry was out on the main road yesterday as a precaution, and the school buses didn't run. I think that the forecast was for a lot more than actually arrived.
