    If you lose out on pay from work there is a financial loss allowance you can claim, plus travel and subsistence.

          They are running the so called nightingale courts for another 12 months to tackle the back log, so are needing more jury members.

              For the first time ever - I shall tonight be watching 'Match of the Day' on BBC 1. I am curious to see how sports coverage will be provided without the assistance of multi-millionaire commentators.

                  I'm sorry Jeremy - but no....

                  Mr Hunt wants more over-50s who have retired early to return to the workforce to help plug gaps.

                      Although I think Linaker should be able to have an opinion, I dont like the manner of how he was talking to the cameras yesterday.
                      It was as if he was so important that nobody could touch him and he said he would be there tonight doing the programme.

                      Basically I just hate all these over payed hi handed people who we pay through our TV licence, they start to think they are irreplaceable.

                      I hope he gets the boot, right where it hurts, but if they do, "ask him to leave" I bet he will get a massive pay out from our licence fee as a golden handshake.

                      Sorry should be in the moan thread.:biggrin:

                        Jeremy and Rishi need to make sure that the nhs workers get a decent pay rise..

                        An ambulance worker who died from Covid-19 caught the virus from a patient, an inquest has heard.

                            Someone spotted these in the River Dee - down the road from here - they were making their way out to sea:
