Hate a blank first line, it's like conceding a goal in the first minute.

I asked the other half who does HR and contract stuff. She said much what Gareth said above, finished with "your position depends on your employment contract. It should mention in your contract you are an apprentice and the intended formal training to complete your apprenticeship. If your contract states this you can hold them to it, if they fob you off your first port of call is ACAS. If your contract doesn't mention apprenticeship you've been had over, you've no comeback and she advises you leave as soon as practicable because they've shown the type of business they are".

Keep thinking about this. Honestly, from the op it seems that there's no intention of putting you through tickets but there might be more to it. You're not happy with things and you need to take control of the situation which will enable you to make a decision. Raise your situation directly, in writing, with the most senior person you deal with (area manager/HR/owner). Make it clear why you're unhappy with the position you're in and request a proposed schedule of progression, including what courses you will be put on and the timescale for doing them. Also ask them If you were to fund courses yourself what increase in wages you could expect. If they can't provide a clear idea of what you can expect then they aren't serious and you can decide whether you stick with it or look elsewhere. I know a lot of people feel uneasy about being direct like this but in the long run you will know by their response if they are serious or are taking the mick, either way you can move forward.

And in future don't be 'told' anything, whatever you agree with your employer should be in writing and have agreed dates of progression.

Hope your customer is happy!

Morning all. Walking day yesterday. We covered forest, moor and riverside, walked the socks of them (and myself!) and we were all in bed early after it. They're still sleeping so I'm getting peace this morning but we'll do it all again before I hand them back later, a good weekend! Have a good one folks.

From what I've heard, or how I understand it (which might be misguided), you legally can't deport anyone without proving where they originated, so if they ditch all their ID and don't admit to where they come from in interview where can they be deported to. Genuine ones that come through accepted channels either apply in their country of origin or are housed here without being able to work or integrate until the decision process is completed, a process which is woefully inadequate and takes an eternity.

I think it's the realisation of the theory that modern western society creates an environment where each generation becomes more stupid and incapable. People that are capable and able to afford to raise children well tend to make conscious decisions to wait until they're settled in a stable relationship, with a stable home and career before having one or two children which they then parent well. The other end of the spectrum is the feckless people that have little ability to look after themselves let alone children, who mindlessly birth one after another safe in the knowledge that society is there to absolve them of their decisions. I've spoken to people who don't seem to live in reality at all. Brand new house, air source heating, two cars and a motorbike with 5 young kids. I said I didn't know how he could afford it having one minimum wage income for seven people and the answer was kids are really cheap to have! Flip side of course, the kids great granny mostly looks after half of them because the twenty something girlfriend that's never had a job can't cope. Quelle surprise.

I'm no pinky agitator, simply a canine advocate, you chaps aren't getting the pooches message!

"we give it all, we're your best friends, we take you up the hill in the dark, in shite weather we're there by your side, we keep you company all day while you arse about, we give you unconditional love every minute of the day, and all we're worth is half a roadkill each? We need a union rep"

Morning all. Got the two Vizsla girls to pick up at lunchtime for a sleepover, need to increase my weekend step count significantly to keep them happy. The hills are calling and I'm looking forward to it. Have a good one folks.

Here here!

You're not far off with the cost. We (with another team subbed in for it) do it annually and have done for several years now. The hedge was established and well kept before the houses were built so it's not too bad really, just a few bare areas. It used to be the perimeter of the head office of a whisky manufacturer so always been trimmed annually.

Morning all. Glad to see Friday, been on the biggest connie hedge trim I've seen this week. All round a housing estate, four days with 9/10 people and yesterday was hot and wet with too much hedgewalking, miserable. Still, got it finished yesterday so finish the week on tree work and there's no rain forecast! Have a good one folks. Edit. I won't be climbing today though having lost half my kit to the loler guy this week, Gustharts have done well out of it at least!

Think I used to work with him...

There's no coffee in it Rich, literally just a morsel of froth round the side, I ran my finger round the cup to help her get it and my finger wasn't even wet

That moment when you realise the coffee machine froth is just too far down a long mug for a short nose to reach.
