    Staff decreasing (particularly the hard working old experienced types who are being shoved out quicker than you can say gold-plated pensions :D), work increasing...

    ...and dare I say :o, the union type swanning round telling everyone to make sure they only do 'x' amount of this that and the other cos of 'elf & safety- 'thats not in your contract' etc etc .... when what actually needs going is x, y and z - NOW - or we will be labelled as a bunch of incompetents and will all be out of a job as the office is moved to the nearest city department whose KPIs are far better!!!!!!! And it seems I'm the only one to get this- I haven't had a lunch (or tea break!) since xmas:mad::mad::mad:

    Union talk ain't gunna help me when I'm out of work with 4 kids to sort!

    Grrrr- thats better :o

    Thanks, you're right, that does feel better :D :A

    Glad it helped - always better to vent than brood...

    I'm back after a little 'break' to put the Tesco shop away.

    Appear to have ordered far too much, for some reason.

    To avoid baking, appear to have ordered every biscuit variety my kids have been pestering for... Plus freezer barely shuts.

    Hmm. Where was I?

    Oh yes, public servants.

    Yes, you're not alone sjay - from my civil service friends I hear the same stuff about staff cuts = v long hours and more work.

    Your union chap sounds most amusing. Never come across one of those in real life.

    Do enjoy I'm Alright Jack though. Peter Sellers is fab. :D

    I don't want to break my own rule, but am I the only one completely confused, given I don't even know the gender let alone the identity of some of these posters.

    My, how the conversations moves along whilst one is putting away the frozen peas...

    Tut.
