@Sue If you run your cursor along the bottom of Verbatim's posting you should see three options come up - the middle one is 'message'. If you click on message you should be able to send Verbatim an email via this website.
It isn't running at the moment Paul. Last I heard (a few weeks back) the town centre manager/Dawlish council/Dawlish Chamber of Trade were looking to see if it could be started up again. The town centre manager should be able to give you up to date details.
@Andysport . you write from the point of view of an employer. As there are at least two sides to every story here is a point of view from an employee angle. "Dave Prentis, general secretary of the Unison union, said: "The vast majority of workers are only on these contracts because they have no choice. They may give flexibility to a few, but the balance of power favours the employers and makes ...
I Disagree . A benefit recepient has the (very limited) choice of how they can spend their money. An HB recepient does not. If they don't pass on their HB to their landlord they get into rent arrears. Right? And the consequence of that is? HB is exactlywhat it says on the tin. Housing benefit (paid for by the taxpayer that gets passed on to the landlord).
And who ends up with the taxpayer funded HB? The Landlord! Ergo landlord subsidy. And yes I agree there is a housing shortage in this country. Our old friend supply and demand again. And what happens when demand for a good or service exceeds supply? Prices rise (or, as in this case, rents). Even more paying out by the taxpayer to private sector landlords then?
Yes I agree the same applies to HAs. But HAs charge lower rents (social and affordable) and their purpose in being is to provide accommodation for those who cannot afford to rent in the private sector. It would be great if all tenants whether paying a social, an affordable, or a private rent could pay all of their rent themselves. But many can't. Therefore the need for HB. Personally I don't have ...
Yes, agree private sector landlords provide a service/product for which they are entitled to receive payments but what I think B'nut is suggesting is that if those who rent in the private sector need HB in order to be able to pay their rent then that HB, which is paid for by the public purse, ie taxpayers, is a landlord subsidy. And private sector rents are higher than rents found in ...

I didn't say they had broken any laws DJ. I am sure that what they are doing tax wise and employment wise is totally within the law. However, as I say, the outcome is that this country loses out financially both in terms of not receiving as much revenue as it might (from taxes) and having to spend more on benefits (to supplement the wages they pay their employees). Arguably then, taxpayers in ...
Just been looking at Exeter Airport's website and came across this job vacancy which I thought I'd post on here as we've been talking about jobs and associated things. http://www.exeter-airport.co.uk/employment?item=767
