    No, not unless you were brought up by them. They are not normally your next of kin/ immediate family. You might be given unofficial time off at your bosses discretion but I would be suprised if you got the travel funded at the publics expense.

  • Thanks Sparky, that is pretty much what I have been told tonight, I'm waiting on a definitive answer in the morning, just wanted to arm myself first.
