All i,l say is that i was told by two seperate people , for names sake i,ll call them Karen and Gylnn. 100 percent certain, the job is Nicks , who has been spotted funnily enough at the tramway this week on several occasions . In this instance Mr Freely , the whispers were infact true . Sorry that Gylnn and Ian are ganging up on you Richard , and Karen aswell.Don Keedicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23046907.post-44865322590415002692009-09-25T18:58:20.253+01:002009-09-25T18:58:20.253+01:00Surely the times cant be that hard for the Traway ...Surely the times cant be that hard for the Traway museum if they can just create positions willy nilly for people who are preferred. If Glynn wanted a pet , surely it wouldv been better to get him a dog called Nick . Amazing that they always plead poverty but can set somebody on so easily , what exactly is the money on offer ? And if the role that they are advertising was one done previously for nothing, wouldnt the money have been put to better use ?Chris P Baconnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23046907.post-34364037963834009192009-09-25T18:41:06.060+01:002009-09-25T18:41:06.060+01:00You mention employment law Richard, but what you h...You mention employment law Richard, but what you have published on the blog (which, let us not forget, is in the public domain) would result in you being sacked from any company. Some people have been sacked from their jobs for posting things about their company on Facebook, which is only open to "friends".<br /><br />Let us also not forget that you have published your side of the ztory on here for all to see, but there are always two sides to any story.<br /><br />In these times, when the Museum needs all the support it can get, comments of the sort seen on your blog are enough to make people think twice about helping.<br /><br />As to the comment by "I.P.Freely" - it is never wise to trust whispers, and by putting such a comment in the public domain, you are contributing to a game of Chinese whispers and posting speculation that is unreliable. Nor is the comment actually relevant to the topic under discussion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23046907.post-59346582551591583012009-09-25T18:06:27.427+01:002009-09-25T18:06:27.427+01:00What a lot on anonymous people.

What are they frightened of.<br />Is there a chance of getting a result from the Board on the appeal about a 'volunteer' getting the sack?<br />Perhaps the shortage of volunteers is down to the expense of getting to the site or to the way that they are treated when they get there. Never mind I'm sure the board will sort it out.peter biggsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23046907.post-86275502809630591902009-09-25T10:58:52.683+01:002009-09-25T10:58:52.683+01:00It rained an awful lot in August.
