  1. I'll think you will find it is http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=503616&page=7
  2. I see that the Minimum wage thread was closed. No doubt this will be closed soon too as being unfit or daring to question the mods. Or even just shining a bright light on the bias and censorship on here. Shutting threads down for being the easy way out, the simple the mediocre way is no way at all. Mediocrity is the vice of the doomed. It's not that I mind the bias but it's the fact it's unquestionable. The fact that Sheffield is still full of the same clannish prats as it was when I lived there. Same as now. Dare to question the Great Working Man and you are an outsider. I was an outsider before because I worked my arse off to make something of my life - I'm an outside now. At least I dont have to live in Sheffield any longer. Tara.
  3. What relevance does wealth generation by the employee's have? They were contracted to provide a service - their labour. They enjoyed the fruits of that provision - called wages. They took the security of being paid that, regardless of how well or poorly the company did and traded it for a lower, yet guaranteed payout. If they signed on and were promised to be paid nothing for a year, but at the end of that were promised x% of the companys profits then they would have a case. Of course the profits may be zero - or a thumping great loss.... that's the downside. The profits may be astronomical - that's the upside. They traded away their assured short term low risk wage for the uncertaintly of a *potentially* much higher return in the future.
  4. The owner generally - it's his company. He contracts with the employees for their labour which he is bound to pay them in good times or bad. He takes the risk on, ergo he will reap the larger rewards.
  5. Perhaps the workers should expect the going rate for the job they have done?
  6. Where are they turning right? No-one turns right off a roundabout - you indicate left to leave a roundabout - that's the entire idea of them.
  7. Interesting. none of the roundaboutrs there appear to have lanes on them though.... When MARKINGS indicate otherwise - perhaps you should put that on your dashboard? If you are in the RH lane of a roundabout and want to exit uou have to CROSS a lane - it is the responsibility of the driver doing so to ensure it is safe and permissible to do so. Yes there may be someone to your left - if there is you do NOT have the right to shove them off like so many arrant prats on this forum, and of the streets of Sheffield seem to think you do. Take the J33 exit for example. South on the M1, if I want the left lane on the parkway I need the left lane on the slip off the motorway. It's marked all the way round the roundabout - yet it's full fo twunts who think they can wait at the lights, force their way left down the motorway to go south and not even indicate. They then get upset when they cause an accident. They get even more upset when they lose in criminal and civil court.
  8. So by that argument occupying the right lane of a roundabout is a bad idea when there is no-one else there...
  9. Try considering a roundabout as a length of one way road. You will find that it is perfectly legal to sit on the left side all the way around the roundabout if the marking permit - if people are cutting across the lane dividers to exit the onus is on them to be sure it's safe.
  10. Sounds about right. People slate most French cars and rightly so but Pugs are good and their diesels are rock solid. They dont die from use but do die from neglect - a good servicing and a weekly run up to max revs (when theengine is hot and upt to temperature!) will do it the world of good. As for the rattle I'd check that it isn't a set of disc shelds rattling (give the front tyres a good hard kick at 3-o'clock) as they can vibrate there and sound annoying.
  11. Why? I earn close on £40k after tax but there is no way I'd let someone near my car - I like to know the work is done properly. Does that make me skint? Some people like to know that the work is being done correctly. Some people may want to fix the issue on a Sunday. Others like being independant of a garage. Some may have a car that no garage would ever touch due to complexity or inability. And some of course want to save money. Why plonk down a grand a year servicing a car (easily possible on a BMW) when the car isn't worth that, and for £200 of bits and the odd Sat afternoon you can do it yourself and spen £800 driving to the south of France for a holiday in your classic BMW....
  12. Possession of a unlicenced firearm - and that's what they are classed as will get you 5 years....
  13. I smacked a burglar once with a nice big pointy geological hammer. Police were not in the slightest bit interested in pinning anything on me at all since the burglar was armed with a screwdriver and a knife.
  14. You don't love him. That's his issue not yours. The fact that you care enough to worry about him speaks volumes and you are most assuredly not being a cow - in fact you are being the exact opposite.
