  1. Our local is ace now smoking ban has come in. Landlady has reupholstered seating and repainted, pub feels nice and clean now. Went down to our usual quiz night yesterday and it was a little quieter but quite a few people are away on fishing trip. On talking to landlady apparently even smokers who frequent the pub have commented on how much better it is now that its non smoking. It was ace to go home last night and not feel smoky and dirty.

  2. Its not a legal requirement but if you book with a tour operator they will generally ask for insurance details. Incidentally E111 will over give you cover in a state system hospital - not private. Not worth taking the risk of not buying it.

     

    Even if you book through a tour operator you don't have to buy their insurance - try Primary Direct, I've been using them for several years and found them to be the cheapest around with excellent cover.

  3. I buy and sell on Ebay. Would recommend checking their ratings before you buy. Try emailing them and saying if you don't get money back you will put negative feedback on. If you get money back put negative feedback on anyway to warn other trusting people off trading with them. Hope this helps.

  4. Bunnykins, sorry but I don't feel at all sorry for people who've not got insurance. Bet they can afford their fags, betting shop, Sky. Why should taxpayers have to subsidise their stupidity. As far as I'm concerned the ones who have insurance should be rewarded as a sign to others that they need to be responsible for their own homes/possessions and not expect some one else to give them charity! Sorry it sounds harsh but am sick of having to pay out for other people.

  5. do to recent events,what do you think of home insurance,is it worth the paper its written on?

    what happens like a lot of people when you need to claim you find out your not even covered,

    its a thing you pay year in year out,and when you need to claim how sure are you its going to pay out?

    do you think we would be better off saving the premium in a bank than handing it over to insurance companys?

     

    Sorry think this is a bit of a stupid question really. Course its worth insuring your property - unless you think that putting £150 in bank each year is really going to pay for the contents of your house should you be unfortunate enough to have your possessions destroyed/stolen

  6. Sue Ross Recruitment is great for office/admin work. It's only a small agency but the staff are lovely and very professional.

     

    They seem to have great contacts, too. I moved to Sheffield at Christmas time and told them I wanted work from Jan 5 onwards. On Jan 6 I started in my first job for them and am still here now. They check in every now and then to see how I'm getting on and whenever you ring in with any questions they're only too happy to help.

     

    Having spoken to someone else who uses them, she had a 6 month break between two permanent jobs and Sue Ross kept her in work for literally the whole 6 months.

     

    Also, in reference to another post, you don't lose out on holiday pay because they tack it onto your hourly rate (although, if you're anything like me, that doesn't necessarily mean you put it aside for a holiday, lol).

     

     

     

    I'm temping through Office Angels at the moment in the NHS being paid £7.00 p/h for secretarial work, just wondering how much other agencies pay for this kind of job
