Next issue will be the bus industry. Big shortage of drivers throughout country services being cut and rumoured takeover of Stagecoach by National Express ? Good Times ahead I am not sure this can possibly be Brexit related. It would be interesting to know how many bus drivers were EU nationals. Seems some industries are “jumping on the bandwagon “ to reduce costs

It's not just a wage increase they actually have to train up more staff otherwise I agree with you robbing Peter to pay Paul.

It was a premeditated strategy by Next and other commercial businesses, I suggest. Edited by Forest Hillbilly (30 Sep 2021 10.40am)

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

What, like deliveroo and Just Eat? Yeah, what a loss. There’s many on zero hours contracts or no contract at all and I can guarantee everyone making the points you’re making has complained about it.

You think the kid riding a pushbike for Deliveroo on weekends is going to re-train as a full-time HGV driver? Pure fantasy. Edited by EverybodyDannsNow (30 Sep 2021 12.17pm)
