It does list them all on the site, and on the link below.

No need to thank me for answering your question, which hopefully freed up more valuable time for Claytonender to do her work as a councillor.

No way can I imagine my local bakehouse agreeing to allow the workers to start at 9a.m. instead of 6a.m. because there is no-one to take little 'Tiffany' to school .
If you have children its YOU and YOUR familys responsibility to take care and provide for them not societys .

The problem with shipping jobs offshore is that it is not only the laid-off workers who are hurt, it is the whole economy. All western economies are based on the consumption of goods and services ... which don't come free ... and in order to consume, the consumers need cash ... or at least a solid base on which to borrow. If you send the jobs to countries with low standards of living, horrendous, unprotected working conditions etc, in order to save a few bucks on labour costs your whole economy is in danger ... when you attempt to replace well-paid jobs with insanely easy access to credit you get what we now have ... economic meltdown, with the average joe doing all the suffering.

It is only 28 days if you work a 5 day week. I don't, mine is just over 4 I think.

You give politicians an inch on a messageboard and they take a country mile

Yes it is pro-rata if you work less than a 5 day week - but thought it would be to complicated a post to try and explain that.

There is nothing wrong with being a bottom ender - but I have always been a top ender.

If it's a mere accident of birth, don't worry about it; it's not your fault

On the other hand, if it was a matter of choice ......
