does this affect in any way your attendance to UKGTP? I was kinda hoping you'd come... mainly so we'd spread the costs between more people

You work at a choo-choo station? Sweet! Do you get to make the train go "Toooot... Toooooot!" ?

...Okay, I'll stop...

Still, sounds like a decent job. Is £7 per hour a good rate? I have attempted to fathom the tax, benefit, cost-of-living situation in the UK and it continues to dumbfound me. In the US, $7 or so an hour is a pretty good rate for the average single person (usually in College, or maybe in High-School), but our cost of living is a lot lower, and we don't have the same social-services you do there...

Nope! I am still coming to UKGTP, Me and Suzzie are hopefully travelling to Newark on the Friday, I finish at 11.30am on Fridays and she is gonna ask for her day off to be n that Friday (she gets 1 day off every week).


@Yssman, £7 per hour is pretty good yeah, my previous job back in 2005 in a supermarket, I was on £3.91, minimum wage for someone of my age is £3.30, 18-21 its £5 and 22+ minimum wage is £5.35 so £7 is very good imo

Trainist.

All trains go "woo woo" equally.

Monday to Friday I will have to ask about the Monday next week because I am not sure if I will be working bank holidays or not yet.
