A: You must learn how to read with understanding although there is no treatment for illiteracy
Just gonna remind you - there is no difference on insurance if you have UK license but passed test in any other EU memberstate.
If I have license of other EU memberstate then yes I would be subject to that.
B: Expressing that is against the law that you have agreed when you joined EU. You shouldn’t have join it. But you did. Get the facts right. And by many you mean only 36% according to the latest survey. It is UK who decides who can and who can not work in here legally not the EU. Bear in mind that the law is equal. If we wouldn’t you would’t.

I have never been directly asked whether I wish to be part of the United [sic] state of Europe, whilst the ‘vote’ [sic] in the seventies was for a ‘Common Market’ - not an undemocratic, Federal & largely un-welcomed (by ‘man-in-the-street’) foreign takeover.
Happy Keith your use of [sic] all over the place is bizarre.

‘…Happy Keith your use of [sic] all over the place is bizarre…’
I appreciate that the intended meaning is possibly unfamiliar with many: I used the above two examples:
First to illustrate the irony that Europe can not be accurately evidenced as being united.
Second, because no-one under the age of about 57 has been given a straight ‘vote’ on whether they desire the United States of Europe (USE) to bully Britain in the way it does - with more to come 
Maybe the Partnership and Waitrose - along with many of their customers - dislike the EU and illustrate their, let’s face it, much admired values by confronting intrusive EU clap-trap legislation nonsense, etc by choosing who they ■■■■ well wish to employ on their terms rather than those of unelected & unaccountable foreigners: Discuss 
…
Off thread but to continue Switchlogic’s ‘bizarre’ theme, look no further than the EU that many here seek to protect:
The original financial ‘yes’ budget was ten times the amount than the ‘no’ budget.
Those that were given a 1970’s vote were hugely misled by the cosy term ‘Common Market’, which was a lie and misrepresentation since that phrase was never a formal term of description for the insidious & expensive, unwanted monster that now relentlessly rules over Britain’s Parliament.
So how come a ‘market’ came to rule over a nation? Bizarre indeed
Incidentally, the phrase ‘Common Market’ was an Anglo saxon shorthand term for the true aim of the Rome Treaty (1957) of ‘ever closer union’. The desire (of some) for an ‘…ever closer union…’ has never been rescinded and thus will not cease and is, I suggest, a very sick yet almost silent agenda.
The only proper option for the next election is ‘EU, yes or no’ because there is nothing else that can be ‘negotiated’ since, like it being impossible to only be a ‘bit pregnant’ - being only a bit in the EU is not acceptable to any EU Treaty.

Go around Aylesford yard and check for all those dents & scratches. You can take better look as you are on the other side of the fence. But probably they are all made by those famous foreigners that company doesn’t want employ.
I moved over long time ago. I just can’t stand when someone says - we employ all ■■■,colour, nations…etc. while in reality it looks different. I wish you all the best Seany. And good bonus next year - due to high spent of mine in JLP.

The last I heard Waitrose are not going to move into the Warehouse at Chorley afterall.
The potential take up of new Waitrose stores in our area has been nothing like the pre credit crunch predictions they had when they sought planning permission.
The gossip I was told that ALDI we’re going to use it as their much needed new RDC in the North West.
I guess we’ll see when the lorries turn up…

I’ve been working on and off as an agency driver out of Bracknell waitrose since 1996 & still am (it’s a long time and I’ve been through 3 agencies) : unusually for this industry the managment respect drivers and most of the desk staff are ex drivers and know the game, the motors don’t have big sleeper cabs but in all these years I’ve only defected a unit once ( it wouldn’t start). The runs are realistic as are the schedules and you only get a hurry up if they are really up against it and that is spread across the partnership drivers and the agencies . You don’t get swamped with meaningless paperwork like you do at sainsburys and tesco’s where all the managment are trying to do is cover their backsides and push responsibility on to the driver at waitrose you are treated as a professional driver also there are excellent highly subsidised canteens at the rdc’s and you can use the store dining rooms whilst on deliveries (if your schedule allows) they are subsidised too
I havn’t joined the partnership as I like to go off and do other things periodiclly and since 2008 have only been working part time but it is a good place to work I always look forward to my shifts in there .
ps for a golden 6 month period in I think it was 2007 we were on £25 per hour sunday day rate it’s a good bit less now thanks to our friends from the east :

So to speak for Eastern Europeans - I have never taken less than British driver. Many of them though have been doing jobs for less when I said I am not.
You always have to find someone to blame, do ya ?
If not EE than it would be someone else.
Sad.
Still company is racist as is discriminating against nationality.
MisterStrood:
‘… So to speak for Eastern Europeans … You always have to find someone to blame, do ya ? If not EE than it would be someone else … Sad… company is racist as is discriminating against nationality…’
As a self-appointed representative for millions of people, MisterStrood, perhaps pass-on & be aware that Briton’s have had NO say in what has happened - and continues to happen in this country (as in TrucknetUK), which in the 1970’s was inaccurately & politically forced upon this nation as being a cosy, ‘Common Market’
It isn’t that, although Britain has gradually become a free-for-all jobs-market for many of questionable ability who subsequently send their wealth elsewhere. Meanwhile, many migrants don’t really wish to accept (or even consider?) worthy & reasonable British values to the arguable extent that British young can’t afford their own places to live!
The EU is an undemocratic & bullying monolith and can justifiably be argued as being largely responsible for sucking the ‘great’ from Great Britain 
British natives have been lied to and abused from beyond our shores, matey (or you’d possibly consider how you’d feel at being forcibly known as HerrStrood?)- and just as this friendly nation opposed aggressors & helped save Europe from pee-taking tyrants in 1939, many here - with hundreds of years of British lineage, are sore at being laughed at, ignored, disenfranchised, abused and fleeced by ill-intentioned & unelected foreigners

Dear Happy Keith first of all I would like to reccomend to you to read a little bit about human rights as those were not created by EU as you are clearly mistaken in your beliefs. Winston Churchill ( Brit ) was one of those who implemented it in Yalta (He also was one of the founding fathers of The EU.)
Secondly in my post ( to which you are replying ) I did not mention it.
Also if you had no say about it why you are in ? No one has forced you and as the best example you have to look at Norway or Switzerland. They have what they voted for. Why don’t you have it.
Probably because it was good for you at that time for 25 years or so. Now when we have GLOBAL crisis like a little boy in sandpit you want to take your toys and leave.
Happy Keith:

Dear Happy Keith the fact that many of young British boys and girls are not prepared for any job and the fact that BRITISH employers are not happy to employ due to this or other reasons is not an EU problem. Try to read and listen to all kind of media and you will find examples of why.
I’ll give you one: A British lad asked at the interview in the restaurant if he would unload delivery and place it in the storage area as part of the job he replies: Oh no, I do not want it. I do not want job that involves lifting. Sorry but someone has to do it.
As for the own place: I myself bought a house here and do not send wealth elswere. Apart from my gifts to my mum.
Also did you know that only in Languedoc is SW France there is half a million of Brits living from British wealth !!! That is thanks to the EU
Happy Keith:
The EU is an undemocratic & bullying monolith and can justifiably be argued as being largely responsible for sucking the ‘great’ from Great Britain
Personally I hate EU too. And I think that it is undemocratic too. But think - is the immigration problem a problem of EU immigration. Why you have nothing to say about hudreds of thousands of asian and african migrants - maybe you have no balls
BTW EU ‘■■■■■’ sovereignity from all it’s members - have a read of Lizbon Treaty

As for this part of your post my ancestors have fought alongside Brits agains those tyrans so do not imply I am German. ( BTW Brits and other nations fought that war - it was not Brits who have won it - it was all allied forces.)
After the fights we were sold by you ( Brits ) in Yalta as a thank you for help in saving your nation. So again go and read some history.
I’ve no wish to add to MisterStroods slanging match which seems way off beam for this thread but from personal oberservation there are quite a number of Eastern Europeans working as Partnership drivers at waitrose bracknell also quite a few on the agencies my point at the end of the last post was that we got the enhanced rate as they were having trouble geting agency drivers on a sunday
( i might have the year wrong by the way ) once there was an ample supply of drivers due to THE GOVERNMENTS actions in encouaging mass immigration our rates were depressed .
Just as an aside two stories I have witnessed at first hand the first was in the drivers waiting area at bracknell in the run up to christmas two or three years ago a gentleman from the east (not polish by the accent ) had a very loud conversation with a young female from his agency ( not the one I work for ) regarding the drivers hours regulations ( I was sitting next to him at the time ) over a protracted to and fro conversation at high volume they decided between them that the rules were 20mins break to be taken after 6 hours driving the rest room was full but very quiet as this went on surprisingly when he was called up to get his job he was straight out of the door!!! as several of us had tipped the wink to the desk .
The other side of the coin was at a sainsburys depot i also work out of where another gentleman of the east had his 3 digicards out on the table trying to work out which one to use today despite a word been had he was still out on the road that day
MisterStrood:
‘… I … recommend to you to read … about human rights … I did not mention it…’
Aah, ‘…rights…’ Other than us all being democratically ignored regarding who rules over us, they’re immaterial in this thread. Unless you advocate suppressing Waitrose
MisterStrood:
‘…Also if you had no say about it why you are in ? … Norway or Switzerland. They have what they voted for. Why don’t you have it … Probably because it was good for you at that time for 25 years or so. Now when we have GLOBAL crisis … take your toys and leave…’
Britain was cajoled & LIED to in the 1970s and my parents generation were not informed that Euro Federalism was the primary ambition. However, Waitrose served that generation well back then, too.
MisterStrood:
‘… many of young British boys and girls are not prepared for any job…’
Yes, I know - and how much worse did it get after Blair undemocratically opened the UK’s door - which was not mentioned in his Party’s election manifesto
More deception force-fed by glossy smiles to an unprepared, gullible but very well intentioned & often brave and gutsy British society
Labour’s priority to sell ‘Cool Britannia’ whilst sucking up to populist but otherwise vacuous populism, etc, tells us lots here just as the UK’s front door key was being distributed to eager immigrants almost going unnoticed at home with (pro-EU) estimates of ‘…only a few thousand are expected…’ being lied to us.
To reiterate, when the UK was not prepared for an overwhelming tsunami of desperate, job seeking workers, the pro-EU Blair (President in waiting/sucking) & the now disgraced Brown were very, very busy selling us ‘live-now, pay-later’ ultra-liberal & ‘whatever’ lifestyles which Britain could not afford on top of its £48 million per day to Brussels.
(Incidentally, Waitrose have many very keen, polite, well-motivated & able young folk of differing nationalities among their Partnership).
MisterStrood:
‘…Also did you know that only in Languedoc is SW France there is half a million of Brits living from British wealth !!! That is thanks to the EU
Your point being what? The EU is a Franco-German Federal arrangement to avoid them having more fisticuffs, so it’s surely their business as to who finances & fulfills their desires?
MisterStrood:
‘… Why you have nothing to say about hundreds of thousands of asian and african migrants - maybe you have no balls
Crikey mate, neither Asia or Africa affects Britains legislature to the extent of Brussels - and my polite, British balls are fine.
Historically, whilst the Lisbon Treaty undemocratically dictates to us that ‘resistance is futile’, Yalta was about the Allies democratically wrapping up ■■■■ dictators from their murderous plunder after Britain initially stood-up to them alone. Are you suggesting that capitulation to a Federal United States of Europe is in any way a better option than enduring 1940’s Communism, although I can see them having similarity although didn’t Britain pay its debt to America in-full, which as I recall the Communists didn’t
Remaining on thread: Waitrose runs itself, by itself and for the benefit of itself and for Britain overall: Why can’t Britain do the same for itself politically without the EU diluting us all into a diverse but compulsory dull, grey morass
