Went to Shifty's for tea on Friday

As I needed to put some miles on my new engine to get it run in I decided it was a good excuse to visit Shifty at Taylor's Fish & Chip's. Well it turned into a bit of Micro Meet as Loz also turned up. We ended up chatting for a couple of hours, Shifty was very hospitable and of course the fish & chips were top rate! So if anyone is thinking of calling in or is wondering where to eat when in Blackpool then wonder no more, head to Shifty's and you won't be dissapointed.

You are employed as a catering assistant. The employer reserves the right to require you to perform other duties outside your normal work duties as the employer may reasonably require.

That goes for the blokes too

In the roadside hotel, Moderation is not as strict here as it's supposed to be off topic stuff and relaxed (Tech shed aside).
Within reason, anything goes. If the thread starter wants to get it back on topic or have a moan at those that deviate, it is up to them. Only moderating when really needed (complaints, swearing, agruments, 18 threads about the same thing) is one of the reasons this forum is highly rated by people who don't even own skodas, let alone current owners who frequent other forums.
