So according to 007 anyone unfortunatley enough to have been made redundent or lost thier job, and under the present ecomonical climate have little chance of finding another, should be given vouchers. I was in that situation two years ago, and used to sit and have a coffee in a cafe or two in town. I had been in employment all my working life (10 of which was with HM Forces and included 3 tours ...

Jobs At Sainsburys
2 Apr 2011

Most of the large supermarkets pay more than the national wage, and offer part time or short hours to suit those working for them, UNLIKE many LOCAL shops and businesses that only pay the national minimum wage to thier staff. Local bar work is at minimum wage, local shop work is at minimum wage any work in the local tourist industry is at minimum wage. Perhaps one should look at local employers ...

Or could it just be a safety issue? With construction traffic turning into the construction site and inustrial area, most of which are 8 or 6 wheeled tipper trucks which need larger turning area , any on comming vehicles need to be ready to slow and stop. A drop in speed limits are usual near construction sites. Why do some people seem think speed limits are money making scams and not actual ...
