Although about 5 days ago, may I make a small response to DFC, which will expand to a generalisation so nothing personal DFC.
Many people go in through the front door, following an interview, expecting the job to be as described. When it does not turn out that way...what then? I worked for a firm once and was to work every other Saturday, confirmed at interview. Once I joined i was told I had to work every Saturday, which b##gred my weekend and lost me the most wonderful woman I ever knew.
But that is life today (could I return to my previous firm -haha, could I negotiate -response "there's the door, if you don't like it").
That made me bitter. Did not affect my professionalism, but it hurt. The Boss didn't give a s##t providing the money rolled in, staff welfare did not exist, no pension, health care etc but the Boss lived in a mansion and had 3 personalised cars, one for him, one for his wife and one for his daughter.
I just despise this face of business, it is the worst excesses of capitalism -not that I am a socialist!!
And Mr O'L before you say "our prices are only £0.25 one way", I have seen the website and tried to book at this price...no chance, must have missed the seat...everytime.
