I've managed to evade them so far, but it's coming. Not before i retire, though! Hope your department didn't fare too badly, AJS.
Cheers! Whole dept essentially ripped up and rejigged but a lot of us have come out better with only really people leaving who were happy to take the handsome payout, so when they said at the time 'look at it as an opportunity' I kind of regret rolling my eyes so much they created their own gravitational pull

I'm guessing IDG??

I was in the Varsity on my birthday last Feb and there were FIFTY people from IDG on their redundancy day! I was shocked.
Yeah March 1st was the big changeover so it was a big old change around this time last year, quite a few of those people were happy to go and in some cases actually talked their way into their job spec no longer matching so they qualify!

Can't remember the exact eaves pay but I think it was something like 80% of a year's pay with the only caveat that you can't return within two years or it would be void, I reckon we'll see some old faces in 'consultancy' roles next March

People who post stuff with the caption "So and so DOESN'T WANT YOU TO SEE THIS" and then it's just a clip of something that was aired on BBC1 or something

Stairgates in general or one that's made out of wedlock? :oops:

It’s our staircase’s fault to be honest. There’s quite a thick trim that runs along the sides about 6 inches up the wall, but it means that virtually no stairgate fits the gap correctly (ones that fit at the top can’t fit at the bottom and vice versa). With our kid now fully mobile it’s a bit of a concern, so just having to keep the door closed for now but when it gets hotter it’ll make it even harder.

Just whack some nails on the bottom step to stop them going up the stairs! :)

Can't you get the ones with the threaded bar type things on so you can adjust the top and bottom differently?

You've just reminded me that only about 18 months after i'd removed ours and tipped them, I'll have to buy and fit some more

Yes but the trim at the bottom is so thick that it means the bottom and the top have too much variance. It would fit at the bottom without an extender but not the top. It would fit at the top with an extender but not the bottom.

Might just stick 2 bits of wood on the wall to even it out tbh.

People who refuse to follow the A46 diversion signs and instead decide to cut through on locals roads which have been signed residents only & no through route for A46 diversion.

My 30 - 45 minute commute to work now takes over 2 hours 🤬

When did anyone pay heed to advice, certainly of the motoring kind?
