Re: Employment Law. Kwacky?

More info has come to light. The female apprentice who interviewed my lad was overheard saying derogatory stuff to my lad on site in a hospital. A nurse overheard it and said he shouldn't be putting up with it. My lad told the nurse that he's an apprentice and didn't want to rock the boat. The other...

Re: Employment Law. Kwacky?

Even if it is in the contract, it's not enforceable after he's worked/ended his notice period as it effectively stops him from earning a living. I've had this clause in most of my employment contracts and always (on good advice) ignored it. I'd consider getting him to join a union as there is defin...

Re: Employment Law. Kwacky?

Brilliant. Cheers mate. He's not on probation. The apprentice who interviewed him is female and in her 40's. Same level as my lad but slower at her job. She took photos of my lads work and sent them to the gaffer. It was an incomplete job but safe to leave and he was going to finish the job after a ...

Employment Law. Kwacky?

My lad is an apprentice electrician, he's not far off qualifying. Long story short, the company he's employed by have started to make life difficult for him. Another apprentice tried to drop him in the crap over a job he was on. Said apprentice then gave my lad a disciplinary meeting. Other things h...

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

I rode mine round the block this afternoon. Popped into Dom's Bike Stop in Leominster for a cuppa char, then headed for Hereford, turned off on the Gloucester road, picked up the Worcester-Hereford road and turned off on the Worcester-Leominster road and home. It was slightly hot! You should try th...

Re: South Wales 23-26 June

Thursday we're riding to the Boars Head in Carmarthen, which is about an 8 hour return trip from your house. I've not looked at the routes and as far as I know we've not made any decision yet where we'll be going on the Friday, so the only option would be to meet up at the hotel before we set out. ...

A total of 4 days labour at say £100 an hour. Wouldn't that be in the region of £3200?

Re: German MotoGP

I dare to say that MotoGP is becoming slightly boring. WSBK is better to watch if you want battles.

What's in Yours?

What do you put in your tail bag when you go out for a day's ride?

Got a feeling I've asked this before, but I'd be interested to see what people take with them.

IOM TT

Three riders/sidecar racers have died so far this year. One in hospital in a critical condition. ;(

Mcguiness struggling on the blade? Says he's happy with a 5th position. I thought he'd do better but he's knocking on now I suppose.

Irwin has a top 5 finish.

Hickman doing well.
