Wrong obviously . Why have the star decided to clip news of another body which has since been identified at the end of the bulletin??? Very bad taste.

Should you really be doing loony faced smilies Rich? It's rather rude don't you think?

My son was earning £45 a week for his round.

*chortle :hihi:

How do you know how much the kid is being paid? At least he's working and learning the value of working for a living

Well if you want an honest answer and not a discussion as the the content of the character of politicians I can tell you. I was a full time home maker working a part time evening job with a husband and two very small children. Through no fault of my own I found myself a single mother with two small children and stuck. My employer graciously allowed me to shift my work to daytime patterns, if it were not for the Childcare tax credits, and working tax credits I would have found myself unemployed and claiming benefits. Both these things lifted a lot of people (mainly women) out of the benefits trap and allowed them the dignity of being part of the working world. They also introduced the nursery voucher scheme where parents could buy their childcare tax free out of their salary. All schemes which enabled more people to work. It is unfortunate that a lot of the work afforded mothers with small children only offer part time work which means that the credits system enabled us to work. The current administration however think that this isn't right and have decided in these trying times where work is scarce and employers are given to offer contracts of zero hours or more usually up to 16, they are moving the tax credit goal posts to a minimum contracted hours of 25. So were I claiming tax credits and working 20 hours a week i will no longer qualify for support to bring my income up to a living wage or for childcare support. Which in effect would push me out of work and back into benefits. So Labour enabled me to work and contribute to society whilst making sure my children were cared for. That won't be happening to alot of women in the future following the implementation of the changes. just one example but that is what Labour did for me.

Workfare is just not fair at all. If these companies have space to employ somebody to work within their organisation and contribute to it's profits they should have the decency to employ them and allow them to sign off benefits and pay taxes. I was shocked at the number of companies actually using unemployed people in the manner.

I stand corrected but Supertram collect the revenue as it's an all in P&R ticket.

The council don't own the park and ride so can't offer free parking. Stagecoach however could but would rather charge for p&r

You were fabulous darling, energetic, insane, funny and with excellent cleavage at all times Congratulations on your win.

Our VM internet keeps dropping out too

I wasn't planning on trying to fix it myself just wondered if anyone knew what was wrong

Our built in gas oven is creating a lot of soot and the flame is burning very yellow. I googled it and it sounds serious, can anyone shed any light on this for me?

Well I've just seen a lovely job working on the emergency dept reception at the Childrens hospital the catch being the successful candidate is employed on a zero hours contract. I was told at the job centre that lots of employers are going that route and not committing to a set amount of hours for its staff - great for budgeting for the household that isn't it.

http://www.shieldaccounting.co.uk/ based on Bradfield road - I can highly recommend them we use them.

They only bloody phoned again just now, that's every day this week! :rant: I just shouted at her today

answered the phone today and online pc solutions were on the other end for the 4th day in a row. She asked me if I was near my pc or laptop I said yes, then she told me she has a message that my computer has errors on it. I said how do you know that, she said my computer had sent the error messages to them.. I told her my computer isn't connected to the internet so how do you know this... She kept repeating she knew my computer had error messages, I told her it is never connected to the internet and never has been so how could this be.. She hung up.

you would only have had a letter if your street is part of the scheme. Which road do you live on? If you'd rather not say click on the consultation doc (the last pdf at the bottom of the page HERE and you'll see how your street is affected.

has D&P News not affected your business more? with them offering the lottery and a pay point and am I right in saying they have started doing newspaper deliveries now?

Dodd and Trickett are free parking for up to 2 hrs, no pay and display for those roads.

On Dodd and Trickett the restriction is parking restricted to max 2 hrs between 8 am to 6.30 pm. no return within 3 hrs. Ripley Street is an urban clearway in the mornings so no parking is allowed on there at all.

apparently Massive gas leak near Morehall Lane at Deepcar. Road closed and all traffic being diverted.

surely your existing loyal customers will continue to go to you in a morning Royalowl? edit: and according to this http://195.59.165.58/WAM/doc/Neighbour%20Notification%20Details-568501.pdf?extension=.pdf&id=568501&appid=1001&location=Volume4&contentType=application/pdf&pageCount=6 most of the shops and houses have been notified.

This will be my only contribution to the current conversation to set straight the rumour and misleading comments being posted. The forum was run by the trustees and volunteers with the aid of one part time worker. Previous years when funding from the local authority was significantly more it was to support three and then two members of staff one in a full time post. Funding covered the building on proctor place, utilities (gas electricity, phone, broadband), business rates, office supplies and the part time worker salary. As has been said numerous times the project was non partisan and had no affiliation to any political party. As well as the environmental activities undertaken by the team and volunteers, there was the shop local campaign and working with local businesses to identify issues - which included solving the problems with clamping and fining in the car park atop the shopping centre. They left the legacy of the town centre strategy which has been adopted into the city wide strategy by the council. Those who were directly involved in the forum are fully aware of it's reach and the impact it made on the physical area. Volunteers who engaged in activities valued the forum as a place to go to get involved with support and guidance. As detailed in the OP the closure of the organisation is purely down to financial reasons. Charitable trusts on the whole like to fund activities not the core costs of keeping existing projects running, and it is with this in mind the opportunities for the trustees to source finance specifically for core costs became thin on the ground. As said before it is more than likely the community garden will continue in it's own right and should that happen those leading the efforts will may local people aware of when work days are to take place.
