Of course, you know fine well that these same people would be seething if she hadn't explained why certain areas hadn't been relegated.

Steven W Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Had a look myself, but maybe @superbigal will be better placed to comment; Not withstanding the fact that the hospital for Stirling and Clacks is in Falkirk, nor that Falkirk shares borders with Tier 4 LA's, surely Falkirk should be on the cusp of Tier 2 with the current levels? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Speaking of the Magna Carta, there's an absolute wackjob cropping up on the local Falkirk Facebook pages claiming that no Commonwealth country has had a legitimate government since way back when in 2001 when article 61 of the Magna Carta was invoked. The boy's an absolute Peter Dow level of fantasist. Boy's name is Billy Watson and seems to be some kind of new-age health wackjob. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a wee spell working in the grangemouth asda warehouse a few years back, during our induction we were told under no circumstances should we call in sick as doing so would mean you would be likely to be let go at the end of your probation period, Any sickness at all was presumed to be laziness/ hungover/ not giving a f**k etc etc . someone asked , but what if you're actually geniunly too sick to work ? " come to work and tell a manager and you'll be sent home" a few other workplaces are similar, basically theres no such thing as being sick , if you're off work then your at it On the other side of the coin there are plenty folk who will just abuse it, especially in jobs where you get paid during sickness, we all know someone who always seems to be unwell on a Monday or a Friday Edited November 24, 2020 by effeffsee_the2nd add more 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) The big question for me (and no doubt many thousands of others) is whether existing household 'bubbles' are classed as one or two household units in this instance. Eta: I'm seeing that in England, a bubble is being classed as one household. Therefore, you can have a scenario in which people from six different houses can meet up at the same table and still be acting within the guidelines.

Distant Doonhamer Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 3 households can meet for Christmas between 23rd & 27th December. Predictable. I personally think it’s dumb albeit I do understand the view damned if they do, damned if they don’t. We’ll be having a single household Christmas as I suspect a fair number of people will be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
