Where the people on the shop floor able to buy extra holidays this year through elements, we haven't got the option this time, did last year but nobody on the shop floor was allowed to buy any, just wondering if it applies to all sights

Why so much anger? I'm no longer on the shop floor - I'm educated and experienced - and have bigger fish to fry. You're just mad that my view is better than that of Hairy Bob next to you.

I know a lot. I see a lot. Every day. Literally, no one cares about what happens to some some small shop in the UK. That's ok.

As far as my salary, well it just went up... and my bonus is pretty nice.

GATESHEAD would speak German and be making Volkswagen cars if it wasn't for the US. A simple "you're welcome" would suffice.

And don't knock my pay raise and bonuses. I just got a new boat. :-)
