Hey....I can see them over the water at North Shields....from certain vantage points. Mind you, that's the closest I'll get!

No. I'll bet there are many like me, and just because you get seasick, doesn't mean to say everyone else does

  I'll have you know we've had quite a few cruise ships in lately. It just so happens that it's over the water and travellers are giving their custom and money to them. No the wonder South Shields has a reason to whine

I think, at the last count, I have 57 and a half hours holidays, given that my week is 37 and a half hours, and I have to take it off my hours if I want Bank Holidays paid.......well.......

that's about 9 days in 6 month...is that about average for everyone. Lynds only got 18 days a year at the hairdressers, although not sure if that included bank holidays.

It is absolutely a shit shot!   Even if I do get a job with NPS, they've imposed sickness sanctions on all of us! I'm caught between a rock and a hard place 

Ally lost her dad before xmas....she's been served with a warning because she was off too long. Union involved now and go her I say!
