Central Belt Caley Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 8 hours ago, Rizzo said: Aye essentially he's worried he gets hauled to court for breach of contract or something I think. He was told by CA that although it would be possible for them to do so, it would be highly unlikely as the whole ordeal would likely result in an overall loss for them. They are only losing him 3 weeks early once you add on holidays due. They've put all their eggs in the cheapest basket possible and now it's come back to bite them on the arse. To get it right up his current employers, he could take the final couple weeks off with stress/bad back/any other ailments you can think of 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an island with a fishing industry, search and rescue at sea should be funded by the government surely. Is it the case that they believe the coast guard is enough provision for this type of rescue? Interesting that Coastguard came into being in 1822 and RNLI in 1824. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hk blues Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 16 hours ago, jimbaxters said: A risky strategy though as you're relying on donations like squillions of other charities. Also, if the government deem it to be a necessary service (which presumably they do) then why don't they fund it better. I say better because the RNLI website suggests they pay 1% of costs. They don't fund it better because they don't need to (and there are plenty of other things they can spend money on) - it's funded by donation. Sure, it's a risky strategy but at least they are in control of their own destiny unlike if it were government funded. And, should donations be insufficient there's a chance the government would pick up the shortfall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
