GMB,
I tell my guvnor what I think of most of my drivers, and guess what?, he agrees.
You worked in fleet street, I rest my case, the unions ruined that side of the print. 5 blokes clocking on and only 2 working.
Written and spoken english is not yet a requirement for a PHV permit in london.
I live in the real world.
GMB, I don't like what my guvnor is doing to me, but, I have managed to get myself a reasonable wage, all the other companies I have spoke to offer lower wages with the same conditions.

Rambo ive tried all i know from persuasion to provocation you still dont get it so i give up on you.Just one point the topographical test was supposed to involve reading and writing english we will be looking to enforce that scenario.Best of luck on the knowledge.
As for Derry boy when i saw your e mail i was delighted,for had it said Londerry U.K. the alarm bells would have been ringing.
We can insist the authorities investigate every company within the city,but am reluctant without a request from membership there.

Our Maggie (probably the best prime minister ever) soon stopped all that skullduggery and loafing about. \:D/

I was using the term evil empire it the sense that you are the first to complain about the bosses.

Orange Sympathies? I can't stand tango :wink:

My experience of this is that these computer booking systems have been sold on the premise that anyone can operate them with minimum training.

It is also my experience that, in the main the dispatch systems are capable of significantly more than the operator allows.

The fact of the matter here is that, in the main, clerks could make their jobs easier by allowing the computer to do the work ................... but they won't because they have to high an opinion of their own ability.

They should of course get the minimum wage, sick pay, holiday pay etc but more than that is in my opinion generous.

B. Lucky :D

FFS I was pointing out; the term evil empire in the sense that you are the first to complain about the bosses.

Indeed, even in this thread you stated
