We don't have a Waitsore near us, so we either use Sainsbury's or Waitrose.

You use Hotmail!!!!

It's the only email I've ever had, previously I sent letters written using a pen with a nib ,ink, a lot of blotting paper and 2nd class stamps .

What? You don’t use a quill?

What's wrong with Hotmail? I've still got the same email address that I created over 30 years ago. My first name then three numbers @hotmail.com. It's the only one I've ever had.

Ditto, although I run with 2 email addresses. The hotmail one I’ve had since forever + the one I use when giving it to businesses, e.g. the bank etc.

I’ve still got a Hotmail email address, I use it for anything that I think might result in a load of spam

Only when scribing sanskrit on papyrus

Brit aid workers killed but all we do is raise concerns…. Lucky it was not an American

I'm really pleased that with the responsibility and stress it weeds out people that are just not up to the job. Safety must be paramount and you surely cannot afford to take chances.
Reminds me of when one of my golf buddies was training as a train driver. He showed me one of the manuals he had to study - it was like war and peace! And he said that's not the only one!

Trust me, those train driver "manuals " are not as bad as they look. Majority of the stuff you never use

How hard can it be? How to make it go, how to make it stop - not like you need to worry about steering or anything

Does it have a chapter on … how to go on strike every few months..

I believe there is a whole seperate book for that

One of my older colleagues turns 66 next month, still fit as a fiddle and a decent engineer. Apparently our manager has told him they want him to retire next month, this is despite him having already agreed he would work past retirement age.
I feel this one is going to get messy

Can they make him retire?
I understood it was the employees choice and all the employer can do is make them redundant, which Insuspect will cost them a lot more than he retiring.

That’s our understanding, they can only force him to retire for physical or mental reasons.

Or just make him redundant if they want to?

Agreed, it’s all very strange specially given they set on a couple of engineers last Autumn who don’t seem to be up to the task
