AndyD - thats shit too... next house (if I can afford it) will be detached. Neighbours
Asked to attend a meeting on Friday with several of my colleagues who are on the same pay grade with our manager. When we go in to the meeting there are 4 other managers,a guy from HR and colleagues from other teams.We are informed that we are all at risk but not of redundancy but of organisational change, we can apply for one of 5 jobs at the same grade or one of 3 jobs at a grade lower.Nice pay back for 27 years service.

Went to spoke to him today in a very non-confrontational, calm and apologetic way and he just hurled abuse at me. Shitty new build houses+bat shit crazy people=Bad times Shit man, had that when I lived back in Derby and it was the worst thing, what was his beef?

They are offering a new role at the same grade, however it will be mainly managerial rather than clinical. This role used to be at a higher grade. Most of us in the past had the chance to apply for jobs like this but choose to remain in a clinical role. If you don't want with of these jobs you can apply for a clinical post at a grade lower i.e do the same job but get paid less.
Gutted. A traditional day out climbing always started with a full breakfast to clear the hangover and paging the old YMC brick, arguing about where to go. Usually deciding on Almscliff by lunchtime.
THE Otley cafe is shutting on Sunday
Yup. When I first went there (92) full brekky was £2.. I think it only went up to £3.50 (from £3) a couple of years ago..
No!!!I have fond memories of the winter trek across from the South Lakes, in our quest for some dry rock, anything, anywhere. Inevitably we'd end up at Almscliffe just as the heavens opened once again. A couple of hours huddling under a overhang, hoping for a brief weather window would presage our retreat to the cafe in Otley. The cheap white bread covered with marg somehow made it all seem worthwhile.
