And the other reason is that you try and break GNE wifi with your dodgy phone  Tongue

(19 Feb 2016, 1:12 am)James101 I work in a small company and an even small management team so if one of us is off for whatever reason then the other has to pick up the days. Don't have an issue with that but my co worker has had an extra day off for three weeks now to go through the process of having a tooth removed. Obviously she's not having a fun time but I'm getting a bit peeved now I'm feeling so tired that this and other ailments I think are brought about by a lifestyle of smoking/drinking/bad diet meanwhile I take a bit more care and not had a sick day in my years there.

Just remember your rights about daily rest, weekly rest and so on. There are elements of the working time directive that you can't be opted out of, no matter what the business needs are. They're there to protect the likes of you and I.

Thanks; it's nice to have a place to vent without worrying about upsetting someone! I'll get over it. The other side of the coin is you'll struggle to get anywhere in a career by sticking to your 9-5 mon-fri and never putting the extra in.

So wish this photo was taken in daylight rather than in the evening when it was dark:

From what I can see, the driver looks awfully familiar. For all the wrong reasons. Shame I can't be certain on that.

Possibly the driver you complained about a couple months ago?

Thats the one. 

It is a shame that the company can't tell customers the outcomes of their complaints, even if it is something like 'the driver has been spoken to about the incident' without releasing any information about the driver in question. I think that may just give the customers who complain a lot the reassurance that something is being done to resolve the issues brought to their attention.

We'd be quite unmistakable if ever you clocked us, especially when I take both boys out.

Last time we saw you was October half term and you sat about 6' from us on the metro from Sunderland. You were deep in conversation but I  was the hassled looking woman with a screechy long haired boy's legs on my lap because he'd taken against the idea of sharing floor space with other people's feet.

Just me and big'un, today,vthank goodness. I have a very sore shoulder from a day of keeping hold of little'un in the presence of bells with buttons. So determined is he that I held both his hands, yesterday, when we got home, so he used his foot to activate the whoop whoop alarm by the wheelchair bay, instead.

My X1 driver is obsessed with pressing the horn for no reason, as it stands he's done 3 times since I boarded at Gateshead.
