So far so good.

Worst car so far...?

That would be a claped out Citroen C1 bag of nails very basic car, the archetype tin box.

Best car(s) AMG Mercs, BMW M3's 4's & 5's...Even a Porsche Cayenne.

So got an order in for uniform in the first week, got given some new boots, thought it would be a good idea to bed them in on me days off. So went out for a walk on Tues morn, strated off thinking 'blimey me toes are a bit cramped...' about a mile in I could feel me left heel getting a bit sore...the last mile or so it was proper rubbing...Blister ahoy...

It won't be the last time you put your foot in it.

So big changes ahead. The whole site is going to 5 day week. No more 4 on 4 off. Monday to Friday. But that means less staff needed. Basically everyone is being made redundant & you have to re apply for the post you do...more hour's, less money & a reduction of holiday entitlement. It has been pointed out to me that a lot of what they are doing is not legal under employment laws. So see how that works out. I won't be reapplying. Either find something else or win the lottery! Haha 😄
