Won’t last, Transport companies only make so much, it’s one big merry go round and when it stops, the ride is finished I understand that normal haulage but work for a supermarket and its a totally different story. Good money to be had if you want it but usually a lot of handballing. Also companies ...

Not sure why you are in a disciplinary if you haven’t caused any damage and it was a warning not an order sign?

you’ve also lost all your child benefits as well!!! no you don’t, you just pay child benefit tax (which sounds even more ridiculous than the claim I pay 40% tax!) once you hit 60k you lose 100% of child benefit. It's easier to give it up than do the self assessment each year. I ended up having to p...
