Re: Going back to UK, again...
hi mick,
although i didn't always agree with your views, having a first grandchild is worth going back for, as my parents always find it hard to leave theirs over here.
Not taking up the offer of a new LMO is understandable esp when you find out its for a driver who is finding it tough at another company.

I didn't refuse the LMO because of the other couple, it was just a good coincidence for them. I'm glad you're still going strong, but are you still at H&R?
We will be working in France again next year, but it's only a days drive or a short flight back home if there are any problems with Grandchild.
Take it easy and drive safe.

Well we had some good news in the UK the economy grew by 1% which means we have come out of the double dip recession, plus unemployment has dropped by 50,000 according to the recent figures published and inflation is down to 2.2% after peaking at just over 5% not long back, things are looking better.

Re: Going back to UK, again...
Mick if my question to DC was interpretated as a personnel insult then I apologise, it just seems to me no matter what anyone says if DC doesn't agree with it were sad, pathetic, jealous failures, in which I have had each one of these thrown at me as you know me a little better and my situation is comparable to yours I sometimes find a little hard to digest.My first comments were actually very tongue in cheek then I have a big chip on my shoulder.He maybe a straight talker but he isn't a very good listener or judge of character. I'm sure he doesn't actually care about my or anybody else's situation but if at any point he flys into Manchester I would more than welcome him off the flight and buy him a pint, then he can make his own mind up, maybe when we visit family in Winnipeg he might return the complement,stranger things have happened.
If you met Dave I'm sure you would get on just fine, and even I would go for a pint with the likes of Gremmie. If you were in your workplace this sort of stuff wouldn't usually end up in a fight, just a p**s take of each other.
If I had posted all positive stuff about H&R I would have probably have got slagged off just as much.

Unfortunately Dom, we can't really judge what anyone is like on forums, I have met some of my protaganists whilst back in Canada and got on very well with them, even surprising some of them maybe, by proving that I can actually do the job which most of us can anyway given the chance.
