The time display on the vid appears to indicate around the 11:48 mark.... Either: (a) I'd been up since dawn, cracked out a full days work before lunchtime and was heading for a well earned feed... or (b) I'd slept in, crawled out of my chariot with a raging hang over and couldn't face cooking.... Truth be told, can't rightly remember which, but if I were a betting man..... ? PS - either way, I'm not shouldering the exclusive responsibility for the nation being on it's knees just because I went for a late breakfast! Bloody Brextremists!!

Since you left....... ?

I was on my way for breakfast at http://www.inkiessmokehousebbq.com That 20 second delay riled me ROIGHT up!! ????????

They still use this video as a modern, forward thinking training aid down here:

There’s that, no denying there are issues there - although those that are contracting are (perhaps) more likely to have serviced / serviceable trailers so as to not suffer breakdown and loss of productivity, but seeing some of the trailers that have sat all year rotting in a field then hitched up and used on the road is also worrying.

and you can bet your bottom $ there'll be an Ag concession.....

On the one hand I’m thinking, great {sarcasm} more admin & hassle..... But on the other, maybe on the plus side, it’ll get the poorly maintained/ unsafe rubbish off the roads.....

*sighs in exasperation* (Rarely) Not sure what else to say..... ?

Dave, I have tonight rapped my hand in with it - resigned. I share this with you first, not because I think you’d be particularly interested, but because your comment did strike a cord. I can only talk in relation to this PC (although my enduring experience of any PC that I’ve engaged with professionally in an Arb sense had already convinced me that they are not worth the effort) but I guess it shouldn’t have come as any surprise! I just wanted to see / experience it from ‘the inside.’ Doing this PC shite (and I gave it 14 months) has detracted from my work, deprived me of family time and caused me (and the family) considerable stress. I have a notably low tolerance for incompetence and an inability to hide it. That I have maintained this role for so long has genuinely amazed most of my nearest and dearest (and I’m sure quitting will have genuinely delighted many within the PC.) Wife & nipper came to tonight’s meeting, she’s not the kind of girl you could say no to anyway. I didn’t plan to quit, quite the contrary, but it just kind of happened that way. My parting shot - if you think I’ve been critical previously, you’ll enjoy what follows now that I’m NOT subject to the code of conduct. ?- talk to you over W/E

Tnakx ?????? I wouldnt have known what to do with all the spare time I would have had!!!

I had finger trouble on the mobile while getting my hair cut! Inadvertently, I've tagged this topic as "ignored" and I don't know how to change it back.... Please help Mr B!! @Steve Bullman Hold on, if you reply here I won't be able to see it.... ?

I’d love to see you and him have that discussion face to face ? Are you suggesting HE should change because YOU don’t like what you see / hear? How does that reconcile with a modern, tolerant, snowflake, all creatures are equal sort of doctrine?

Now we're getting somewhere mr frozen ?

I think freezing Mr Eggs would be a cracking idea!! ???

Pre-election propaganda? Labour promise to dish the sweeties out to garner favour - usually more targeted by Labour though, plenty in public sector have no liking for Toriies, 1% unlikely to change that. Dunno, what I would say though, it’s about time the ‘public sector’ wasn’t treated as 1 outfit so far as pay rises go. It’s so diverse that to treat it as 1 entity is madness....

There’s still plenty of waste & ineptitude within departments that can be hatchetted out to fund this from within existing departmental budgets

Ummmm, Soubry... She’ll never speak another word that I will ever believe.

And a "bonus" when you go to collect your gear....!

Meh... There's too much to choose from... Katie Hopkins, JRM etc etc.... All quality TV political satire ?

I'll "see" your Alex Jones and "Raise" you a TR! That Alex Jones piece.... Made me think of me at a Parish council meeting.... ?

Anyway, what about all those idle yoofs of today....? Nobody seems to want to do an honest days graft anymore.... Disgraceful it is!

Me too! Think it may have back fired though....

I “was” going to do some graft today, but Mrs J “made” me take her for breakfast after the school run. Hardly worth starting anything after that

That’s rich! What are you doing at the moment??
