Not a problem for us hospitalityI’m going to be confused all week and next week too with this double bank holiday malarkey - and poorer, no work = no pay. Thanks, Charles! 😉
Yeah and be grateful for each and every extra penny, wench! Or we’ll pack you off to the workhouse!Not a problem for us hospitalityslavesworkers! I get to work pretty much every bank holiday for a few pence over minimum wage
I have to apologize, Colin, because before I googled it I assumed "wench" was an insult (used jokingly of course!) and was ready to pretend to be offendedYeah and be grateful for each and every extra penny, wench! Or we’ll pack you off to the workhouse!
Wench used to mean prostitute...used to, used to! 😱I have to apologize, Colin, because before I googled it I assumed "wench" was an insult (used jokingly of course!) and was ready to pretend to be offended
Thanks for the new vocabulary tho!
I don't know about these ones, I remember we got one extra day when we worked in the holiday dedicated to the Queen's funeral. My friend asked if we get extra pay for working these bank holidays and the supervisor joked about being thankful that the company doesn't t ask for money back. As far as I know we only get special pay if working Christmas day.@Elenka_HM do they give you extra days on your annual leave to make up for the Bank Holidays you don't get?
I thought the film was very good but rather sad. Jim Broadbent was excellent in the way he showed, during the walk, how his character was forced to face the events surrounding his son and Penelope Wilton played his wife with the right amount of despair at what he was doing. The story of his relationship with Queenie only really came into it nearer the end and tied up the loose ends between his wife, son and Queenie.what @freesia makes of the Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, but it will be interesting to compare thoughts
