The Monkees had a hit with Randy Scouse Git, the title gleaned from a British sit-com, which in the UK due to censorship was renamed Alternate Title.

Similarly, workers were often required to provide their own tools. If they were dismissed, their tools might be put in a sack and handed back to them. Alternatively the tools would be thrown on the fire, never to be used again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIWAL we thought Alf was saying "Skaskit" and used that as an insult. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 There's a very strong chance that I could be changing jobs, I have 8 days holidays booked, will I have to use them as part of my month's notice?? Also we have to keep 10 days off our allocation for Xmas and new year, would they count as well?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. They can't make you take your holidays as your notice period. Edit : I'm assuming your holidays are booked outwith your notice period. And anyway, give them a weeks notice.

Although I'd be quite happy to take them as part of my notice, considering I'm on the 2nd week of 2 weeks holiday just now . I thought you have to give a month's notice?? I've been there 10 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old work was a week for every year over 2 years. No way was I giving them 9 weeks. They can't keep money that is owed to you. Once you secure your start date it's entirely down to you and how you want them to view you after you leave. If it's been that toxic and harmful to you, go out with a win. One weeks notice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also we have to keep 10 days off our allocation for Xmas and new year, would they count as well?? Have you accrued the holidays though? Normally if you leave partway through a leave year, you get a proportional amount of the statutory holidays. So if you've used fewer, you'd be entitled to be paid for them, but if you've used more then you'd be expected to pay them back. It depends when your year runs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you quit with less they could withhold payments but only if the contract says they can do so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) I regularly handle a number of slags. I’m fact today, I’m going to be showing some parents and their kids pictures of slags. I regularly have folk phoning me up to ask questions about slags. Love a good slag. ETA I can get lots of different slags for free. I’ve even got some in my shed. Edited April 5, 2022 by Melanius Mullarkay 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: that sounds worse than intended. For clarity, MM probably only has legal-age milfy gym slags locked up in his shed.

And the accusations being levelled should be insulting. Some of these seem positively complimentary to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
