It'd almost pay for your kid's university fees when the time comes (maybe!!)

'Fact checking' websites.
They nearly all have some kind of agenda. Whether it's the person bankrolling them, or the bloggers who update the posts. Most of the time you can do a quick twitter search and find them to be overly political one way or another.

Do you have a fixed contractual start time each day?

We have a shift system, the person who works overnight can't go until I get here. I get here late, they then go home late.
I have no issue with driving to do the school run so not going to try and turn up late and then argue about contracts. What's the point?
It is the same in most of the small businesses I have worked at, it isn't like a council or somewhere where you can come and go as you please.

I can imagine how all the parents asking “can I come in at 9.30 everyday so I can walk the kids the school” would go down at most places I’ve worked in the past

The reality with it all is there is a middle ground. For those that can work from home or start and finish flexibly, walking the kids to work should be encouraged. Especially in this day and age where, flexible working is the dogs bollocks at the moment.
However, for people like Nick where it is a set time to be in otherwise it affects the business and other people then driving can't be avoided a lot of the time.

It's asking for a reasonable bit of flexibility. I work for a private sector employer and it isn't a problem at all.I can imagine how all the parents asking “can I come in at 9.30 everyday so I can walk the kids the school” would go down at most places I’ve worked in the past

If firms were more flexible you would have more (and better) people out working. The teaching sector for example has lost so many good people because of its inability to offer any kind of flexibility in this regard.I can imagine how all the parents asking “can I come in at 9.30 everyday so I can walk the kids the school” would go down at most places I’ve worked in the past

Surely a teacher has to be on time for lessons?

It's more what didn't happen, the clowns ain't emptied the bins again, literally have one job to do.

No, I left my bin in the garden and expected them to jump over the fence to collect it. Use your head.

Have just consulted my head. It told me that the industry is on its knees and that they can’t just relentlessly dump extra workload on the workers, which is already what’s happening at quite an alarming rate. Easy job, but I still commend them, and you still can’t inundate them.

Ah, but we all saw it
tbf my neighbour always does that, and they always take it. One day...

Deleted that reply as it could be used against me with the council on the phone
Usually bins are not taken if they are contaminated or if handles facing the wall (simple reason loaders trapping fingers between heavy bin and wall )
Or not presented at all
Tbf it’s the same in other fields. We knock an hour two off by cutting corners. Shhh

They don’t have to do the first lessons of the day if the school run is the only barrier to them.

That’s irrelevant - teachers that work flexibly would be probably be paid proportionately anyway. It’s a daft argument when the profession has a recruitment crisis.

Anyway, Tories are what they are. They're doing what they will. What the fucking hell is that utter chump Keir Starmer doing? What the fuck is Labour's position on anything now?

Why are children over say 8 being taken to school? Aren’t they capable of getting there themselves
