Holiday in West Cornwall

[Gilraen]

A week's work? Don't knock it - I started with my company on a 4 day digging contract. I'm still here 10 years later!

4 days in 10 years?!

[Gilraen]

Well - I thought I would take my time!!!

I hope those who worked on the project enjoyed it despite all the negativity and maybe they will be offered more work in the future....good luck !!!

I concur Monty - making connections - if only for a week - can never be bad.

Sounds vaguely like my days with DoGLA - although we got rathr longerthan four days (usually) fifteen months on one month contracts and often the contract would arrive in the last week of the month (or not at all).

And then, having escaped to another job, the 1988 construction bubble burst and the Museum of London laid off 200 staff or thereabouts as work dried up lmost overnight (and I had gone to a job with TA with a string of work lined up, almost all of which was put on hold so had a year of struggling to get enough work in to keep my job)

All seems terribly familiar 20 odd years on! - I can't remember thefrench but the phrase translates more or less, as "The more things change, the more they stay the same!" And I have a huge amount of sympathy for anyone laid off r worried about their job.

With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...

About ten years ago I went to the Isle of Wight for a week and a day of work. Had nothing else to do and needed the money, so off I went. Don't see the problem. If you don't like the terms, don't apply.
