I'm back today and went into the office this morning, not a word of thanks/sorry nothing.
Literally nothing not a word out of that manager.
An easy day on site today and paperwork tomorrow then Christmas eve on holiday until the 5th.

Working until the usual time Christmas eve. Back in Monday after - at least I thought I was, seems I'm allocated working from home next week. I won't argue, even if I do enjoy the very much quieter commute in on the days inbetween

Roads in London are quite but the 20mph cash generators are everywhere so it makes no difference to travel time

Did you honestly expect anything else ?

So many managers these days don't seem to have clue. We don't do any of these jobs for slaps on the back, constant praise, or ego feeding, but then they wonder why no one wants to help out. Jeez.

Anyway, enjoy your break.

We would be thanked by our supervisors, but not by the managers as the downtime would have eaten into their bonuses.

I worked for my Dad from aged 16 to 18. In his garage...

Aged 18 - I opened my own garage - 41yrs late I still trading out of the same premises.

I rented it at the start - then I bought it from the Landlord.

I had 41yrs of the bottom end - bargin basement - end of life car repairs.


I must be able to do it - as I would have starved to death trying if I could'nt....


But retirement cannot come quick enough - my patience is running out!

I was an apprentice from 16 to 18, then went self employed as a mobile mechanic in my mini van, then rented, took a partner, dumped the partner, rented bigger workshop, eventually bought freehold................................. retired, never made much money but when I packed up several old customers came in to help me clear out of the 14,000 square foot building as I was getting nowhere quickly,
