At last found a job

[winseer]

…A “Different place” indeed.

There’s no airs and graces down here. Up north, people can be loaded and live like tramps with expressions like “Time’s 'ar 'ard” when in fact they’ve got 10 times the amount in the bank compared to the average southerner.

Inverse snobbery is far worse than any misconceived “london snobbery” in these parts.

I enjoyed northern company last time I was up there - but was appalled at how expensive everything is for what little you get deemed as “enough” by local standards. Fish and chips was crusty and horrible everywhere I went, empty restaraunts charged a fortune regardless, and house prices are the same as down here FFS - They should have dropped off the cliff by now, with all this “Time’s ‘ar ard’” flannel about jobs designed to make us panic like we did over the prospect of being nuked any day back in the 1980’s.

Threads Attack Scene

On holiday you see, I set out not to watch the pennies. I was kinda expecting third-world prices for everything from accomodation to takeaways, but no… Even Blackpool was a town I spent less than an hour in, before turning the car around and leaving never to return - all over the way that everything and everyone local to where I was due to stay setting about to ponce money out of me from the minute of my arrival. I DON’T pay to park at my accommodation. I DON’T pay for extra cups of brew at breakfast, and I DON’T pay “misc. surcharges” when the gaffer runs a 4x4 and shows no outward signs of poverty…
Rip-offs every step I took. I took nowt, and tail-ended, and left without unpacking the car. I had nowhere to unpack to anyways, as I’d booked a flat to stay in, only to be shown a bedsit when I got there. Not what I came for, so I’m off.
Spent that same night in a Tamworth Inn - Reckon that was far enough away from all the bullcrap of earlier that day!

Never trust a northerner who’s richer than you to give good value on anything it seems. THAT’S why they’re richer than you to start with!

The South West on the other hand saw us being treated like gentry for the same money spent wherever we went, the locals grateful for our custom, and a “what you see is what you get culture”. I like! I might retire down there, assuming I get to live to the projected 80+ pension age by that point!

Winseer:
I don’t object to anyone working any hours they see fit for any amount of money.

I only object to being critisised because I do things differently, and get negatively compared to the Frank Gallagers of this world when I do.

Is it really like the 1980’s outside the home counties?? The entire work culture seems somewhat different to these parts where earning the biggest wad for the smallest number of hours is as natural to us southeasterners as not paying for anything you can get for free (without breaking any enforced laws of course…)

Why keep reminding people then how you play the system, in nearly every post that you reply on. And that you only average 100 hours per month.
Cant really be arsed replying to your earlier post. Cos unlike some I’ve had a long day today. I just think you talk ■■■■■■■■.

£350/week before tax, for the kind of hours you work and responsibility you have as an HGV driver is absolutely [zb] awful money…if you have any self respect you wouldn’t work for [zb] money!!!

Love posts like this…exactly how muck of a responsibility is it to drive a truck nowadays, observe the speed limit, don’t crash and steer it in the right direction…hardly rocket science. satellite tracking etc watch the load and apart from our mobile friends trying to nick the diesel what real risks are there?

Because I’ve not figured it out yet how to turn that off, it automatically adds it and as for every post ive only had it 2 weeks.
Im sure if i took the time, i could look back at your previous posts and catch you out for the ■■■■■■■■■■■ you are.
Your long replies are getting a bit boring now.
At the end of the day, your just a lazy sod, who cant be arsed to put the hours in, because you have goverment money to fall back on. But find it necessary to tell us all what were missing out on by doing an honest days work.

Hi All went for interview this morning at Langdon Transport and have to go back next wednesday for induction and driving assessment then start there and then. Oh happy days.
They now pay £360 basic £23.46 nights out and extra for going away sat/sun.

well done,forget the basic[360],once youre up to speed and doing 70/80 hrs p.w,5/6 nights out p.w the money will be good

Another one who wants low wages but loads of hours,how daft can you be

Why don’t you ■■■■ on his chips while you’re at it.
He’s got a job,paying more than the dole and something which is worth more than any wage, self respect.
Good luck, hope it works out for you.

There might not be any chips to ■■■■ on…
He’ll not be affording many fish suppers out of £360pw gross!
All in all, I’m reminded of that old poker adage:
“Being a good player brings much respect, but little money. Being a good earner brings much money but little respect!”
Part-Time job @ minimum £10ph plus tax rebates, credits, write-downs, expenses = takehome of more than £18k - Nationwide!

My point being that earning less money out of pride for not claiming what you’re entitled to has got to be mis-placed objectives. No one congratulates those with less, especially when they’ve chosen less out of “Pride” which is one of the seven deadly sins rather than a virtue - a simple oversight by many it seems!
Self-Respect doesn’t pay the mortgage. Maximised income for optimum hours does - as I’ve found from my own experience.

Don’t know about anybody else but I’m sick ov hearing this guy and his state
handouts.
Why dont you give the lad a break he’s trying ffs.
Not everyone wants to play the system like you do.
Cant you economise and have your internet turned off.
Obviously your kids haven’t started asking for designer labels like all the other kids are wearing, or maybe you would get off your flabby arse and do a few extra shifts.
Looks like your just happy to get by.
Mind you what you’ve never had , you’ve never missed.

im sick of winseer posts full stop, constantly going on about over inflated wages and starting to sound like conor tbh i think he is stuck in the year 2004.

I think if you were to look back at his previous post, you can just about make out what he’s earned or claimed for over the last 10 years.

Maybe winseer is right why work the hours when there is no need,use the system as it’s been set up for, you are doing nothing wrong.He’s right with the pay as well i work for 2 agencies 1 at £10 other at £12 25 per hour so why work for £6,if i don’t work the agency don’t earn so i get well paid jobs and the others get the crap.

And what happens if his top up just automatically gets stopped.
He will have to do more hours, why cant he do the hours to start with.
Because he would rather his family went without, than him getting off his arse and doing a days graft.
But now, the reply will be coming, about him wanting to spend more time with his young family. Instead ov him setting examples to his kids about going out to work.
( mummy why doesn’t daddy have to work like normal people.)
(because little tommy the government will pay him for sitting at home, and daddy’s above himself to work for a poorer hourly rate that the rest of us. Or put the hours in.
Daddy’ so clued up he’s on the internet now telling everybody about it.)

Mac12 who’s the others getting the crap.
Are you this super human driver, where only you can get this rate of pay.
Is it because, your so good at your job, the agency have this enhanced rate of pay just for you.
I would like to know, how often they call you in on this rate, and your average hours worked per week. And how long it lasted for.

I work for 2 agencies the one paying me £10 per hour has jobs from £6 25 which i don’t do and if others didn’t htere pay would go up or the trucks would stand.I am no super human driver only a driver who’s no’s what im worth,there are firms out there paying good money it’s not a rate just for me.
Between the two agencies i could work 6 days every week if i want,but i only try to do 4 days per week.
How long have i been doing it the £12 25 about 3 years,the £10 15 months.I do the £10 job because it’s 2 miles from where i live where the £12 25 is 29 miles.
Hope that helps with what i do,now what about you.

If I’ve got an extra bill to pay for the month, I’ll work flat out to pay for it like anyone else. The agency I work for have the local kent mindset, so they don’t say “Hey, take this crap shift or we’ll kick you off the books!” - They respect what I put down on the sheet when I signed up. If you sell yourself short, you’ll always be left short, having identified yourself to the firm as “mug” to start with.

Yes, it’s true there are a lot of “Pitfall” agencies out there (like in Maidstone which is full of 'em!) that will fiddle you left, right, and centre. Salary sacrifice, umbrella fees, no work, last minute call-ins, last minute cancellations, hourly rate drops after you go in, endless licence checks, awkward shift changes, and of course the overall expecation that the prospective mug takes everything offered because they are “supposed to be desperate at all times”!
I signed up with 7 before finding out over the course of the past year that 5 of them just don’t rock my boat at all. Never even had a single shift out of those 5!

As for “family going without”? - Who’s saying anything about going without?
I thought all these barbs at me were about the fact I’m taking home more for part time than all those working twice the hours for less net pay? I’m hardly the one ‘going without’ here… Income is income from any source, and outgoings can be minimised by refusing to pay for stuff that is not economically viable, such as a 90 min each way trip @ £25 petrol cost to goto a shift paying £80 gross… You’re 13 hours away from home, and taking home less than £40 net when you add it all up. Saying “No” to that doesn’t make me lazy, it’s just plain common sense. Graft is being prepared to work long hours. I’ve not got a problem with that. Sensible is refusing to be paid net £3per hour chasing duff shifts!

Jeez, I thought the rest of the country were so good at getting by without a pot to ■■■■ in, that everyone else would automatically be an expert at keeping overheads down to a minimum already! I’ve had to learn to make the adjustment from 29k net down to 18.5k net in the past year, and that’s about it. - Hardly leaving me without a pot to ■■■■ in eh?

I’ve yet to see a young driver on this agency - I’m one of the youngest in my late 40’s. I dunno about superhuman driver, but 22 years with a clean licence counts for something around these parts it seems. If I get offered work, it is either odd weekend shifts at supermarkets, or monday-friday leave cover at some parcel firm or other, those being the places that do the overnight trunks that I like. On the other hand, they won’t call me offering days 17t multidrop, because I’ve told them I don’t want it. If that means I get to sit out whole weeks at a time, because there’s no night trunks that week, then so be it. January was lousy for work this year, because there wasn’t even any crap work for 3 weeks or so!

Isn’t the whole idea of agency work that you pick and choose what you want, when you want? If I was just going to take every shift going every week, then I might as well go back to work full time. What’s the rush when the FT jobs of any quality just are not there for some time to come yet? I’m not going to lie to myself about the state of the jobs market - I’m just being a realist whilst I’ve got a family to run who don’t want dad out 6 nights a week anymore.

Why is an agency willing to pay you so much,
Personally i wouldn’t work for an agency, the jobs aren’t stable enough for my liking.

He doesn’t have to prove anything to you, and neither do I.

On the other hand, you’ve proved you can’t be told what you don’t want to hear - that great sign of failures everywhere.

Me and Mac will just carry on picking and choosing the plum jobs we want, whilst this recession just goes on and on making victims of all those with the mis-placed pride - just as it did in the 1980’s.

With regard to a fund…sorry mate, I earn my own money and I do reasonably well, but I ain’t a charity… The point is that you CAN earn good money driving…but not with the ‘oh I’ve got a job on 6 quid and hour but it’s better than the dole’ mantra. You’ll certainly get nothing but ■■■■■ work and long hours based on that attitude…Fair enough, if you’re happy earning the same as a kid working in Tesco’s, good luck to you…

If you really believe that you should be paid more in case you hit something you are in the wrong industry.
Every manual job comes with risks attached, and whilst you may not like to hear it that’s what truck driving is, manual work.

I couldn’t give a flying ■■■■ how much somebody gets paid, apart from the drivers I employ, but I will congratulate anybody who gets a job not see it as a chance to score petty points with people I don’t know.
And to you idiots, who think you are billy big ■■■■■■■■ on agency work, remember is is usually the case that you are at an agency 'cause no one would put up with you full time.
