Last night was bad, tonight little better, hopefully it's the double banker last weekend that has caused it, and not the football, not that it's any good anyway but 5pm - 7pm money for a 6 hour plug on a weekend is really taking the McVities.

Well most of you will scare the punters off with these extra pointless bank holiday charges.
We just run at normal tariffs except for the festive season, no call outs, and no baggage charges.

If you want to work on a Bank Holiday for normal time Skip you go out and do it. Me I want extra like all the other people who work a Bank Holiday.

No money anywhere now, except for the very rich.

Bank Holiday weekend was rubbish although I did OK monday day but last weekend was a belter busiest of the year so far there were loads of weddings , balls etc all on the same weekend it seems everybody avoided planning anything for the bank hol weekend

Thats par the course here Brum, current record for me is 3 hours to get my first job, record holder holds it at 4 hours,

Still at least we aren't state poncer's are we, we could chuck it in and start claiming but we don't, I wonder how long an unpaid MP would stick to task if he had to?

If we get a good weekend due to pay cheques coming through, or a good Bank hol......................it is look out for the next week or two - because once the money is spent...............there is NO more.

You get it in one hand and pay it back with the other.
