wife tells rep, "strike and you're out"

[Pegman]

You couldn't be more wrong, and as for aspirations of being a DIm or DOM, I think at 52 I'm past onsideration for those roles.

FYI my employment history Military....HGV.....and Sales.................nervous breakdown............sales..........depression...........RM

Military

You don't act like a man who has served. But if you say you have then I have to accept that you are being truthful.
I was going to write a big speech for you but I'm too pissed off to show you any kind of respect, even though you were a serving man..........
You sir need to stand up for what is right. Have you looked at a stamp lately....... the last time I looked it still had the face of our Commander In Chief on it.
It's a sad day when a Royal Navy man can't be bothered to fight for rights of his fellow man.

So as you are obviously not a military man you have questioned my loyalty to my fellow men without logic and reasoning, a sailors first loyalty is to his Ship, and if it came to it, you would scarifice your mate for the sake of the ship.

FYI I voted YES, but that shouldn't stop me wanting to debate and learn more to find out exactly what all the issues are, because more seem to appear every day !!
So lets debate and not get personal[/i]

You are not Royal Navy, if you were you would have put Seaman and not Sailor.
As you have said above..."a sailors first loyalty is to his Ship".
As far as myself and the Military, you would never have the balls to walk in the boots that were worn by me and my mates.
You sir are a make believe plastic soldier.
ps. you could prove me wrong but I doubt it.

Oh boy you sure do show your ignorance.

Seaman is a trade in the Royal Navy, in the merchant it is a general term for a person who works on deck.
In the RN you are always referred to Sailors as a general term.

I was a Marine Engineering Mechanic and qualified for CMEM

I served onboard HMS ARK ROYAL AIR CRAFT CARRIER 1975-1977
Embarked HMS INTREPID MARINE ASSAULT SHIP 1977-1979
Emabrked HMS DOLPHIN for Submarine training March 1979
1979 served onboard HMS SOVEREIGN*, WARSPITE, SWIFTSURE
Left RN on Completion of service Feb 1985 Rank POMEM
Official No D149---s (Thats still covered by the Official Secrets Act due to my submarine service)
* Earned Dolphins** with highest mark ever achieved on that particular boat***


** Submariners equivalent of "Wings"

*** Submariners always refer to submarines as "Boats" this stems from the German Unterseeboat (Undersea boat)

Whilst on HMS ARK Royal in 1976 we were filmed for the acclaimed BBC fly on the wall documentary "SAILOR"

FYI ON Ark Royal I was part of the fire control, on 5th Feb 1976 whilst sailing out of Plymouth, A fire developed in A boiler room, I was designated as first man in, wearing just a compressed wool suit, and breathing apparatus, my job was to find the seat of the fire and put it out, which I did, i also found a fellow stoker, sat under a fire hydrant poached to death, you want me to describe what it's like to spew up in a BA. and nearly choke on your own vomit, you want me to tell you what it's like to try and lift a human body thats been poached.

Need anymore evidence ?

Never believe a woman who says you can do what you want, 2 things are certain

1 It will be expensive

2 You will regret it

[Pegman]

Pegman chill dude your arguing with everyone . Check your pulse

I thought message boards were for debate ?


I'm not sure who is arguing, sommeone has attempted to call me out by referring to me as a make believe plastic soldier, surely it is my right to reply ?

[BELIAL]

IF rm was to make compulsory redundancies , who do you think the do managers would get rid of first ??? the ones who come in get there heads down and get the job done or the miserable awkward gits who moan about everything and make the whole place a worse place to work ????? which ones would you get rid of if it was you ?????? ( belive me i have seen what happens at other places ) plus i dont think seniority packs the punch it used to . If the rm want a modern way of working, dont you think they want a modern work force to go with it ?????? Give it a few years and all but a few rm staff will be part time.
maybe a few sad facts but true .........

Not at all true Chum. Afraid any management decisions made on those criteria would result in very costly court cases
Standard practice in large scale company redundancy moves is to eliminate those with the worst sickness/attendance/timekeeping records.
So you can lick arse all you want but if youv'e put your back out in the last five years

[chumley.mouse]

Mmmm maybe , maybe not i wont be putting my back out as i use my own transport to carry the weight , never had a stage yet !!! and i leap those hedges like a gazelle, slide across the lawn and fire the letters throught the letter box faster than a ninja throwing death stars Maybe all those that just happen to have 13 days off sick every year better watch out..... plus if nobody is home and i have a parcel i just climb up to a first floor open window and pop in in

[BELIAL]

Nearly split my sides with uncontainable mirth,you truly are a uniquely talented mouse

As for Reps being paid, I have it on good authority from a Union Rep in another trade.

You may be right about what happens in other Trades. But in the CWU, only those at HQ (Employed directly by the CWU) are paid during Strike Action. The rest loose just as much money as we do.

[Pegman]

Thank you Andy why do people presume all Trade unions are the same is beyond me . If reps get paid Pegman whilst out on strike why then did i lose 4 days pay are you in some way calling me a liar ,by the way that has caused me considerable hardship aswell that i still havnt dug myself out of and im prepared to do it for as many times as it takes regradless of my hardship. The baliffs can come knocking if it gets to that point aswell and i will tell them were to go and they wont get one foot over my door step without a good old fight ..

The old fashioned bailiff you refer to is no longer, these days they come escorted by the Police with a court order

What 'legal authority' must a bailiff have?

A bailiff must be legally authorised to collect the debt on behalf of the creditor. The authority is normally known as a 'warrant', or 'warrant of execution' if the bailiff is recovering money owed under a county court judgment.

Bailiffs used by the magistrates court to collect unpaid council tax, outstanding fines, compensation or unpaid maintenance will be acting on either a 'distress warrant' or a 'liability order' issued by the magistrates court.

If you are in arrears, creditors will sometimes send representatives to your home to try and negotiate repayments with you. These people might be called 'counsellors', 'collectors' or 'advisers'. They do not have powers to enter your home and seize your goods.

Can a bailiff force his/her way into my house?
Most bailiffs do not have the right to force their way into your home to seize your goods. The only exception is that bailiffs from the Collector of Taxes (Inland Revenue) can get a warrant to force entry, but this is very rare.

All other bailiffs have a right of peaceful entry only. This means that they cannot use force to enter your home, for example, by breaking a window or a door. However, they can enter your property through an open door or window (front and back) and can climb over fences and gates, but cannot break them down. See also ''If a bailiff does gain peaceful entry to my house, what will they do?''

You do not have to let a bailiff into your house. A bailiff cannot force their way past you if you answer the door. If all your doors and windows are securely closed they will not be able to gain peaceful entry to your house unless you let them in.

Bailiffs are well aware of their limited powers and may use a variety of different means to gain entry peaceably. They may attempt to walk in as soon as a door is opened. They may ask if they can use your telephone to check if an arrangement is satisfactory with their office. They may simply ask you if you would prefer to discuss matters inside. You do not have to go along with any of these methods.

Can I be arrested or imprisoned for not letting a bailiff into my house?
No. If a bailiff is accompanied by the police, they are only there to prevent a breach of the peace. You cannot be arrested for refusing to allow a bailiff into your home.

You cannot be imprisoned for not paying your debts. However, non-payment of council tax, child maintenance or magistrates court fines can lead to imprisonment if you 'wilfully refuse' to pay. This means that the magistrates must be satisfied that you have the money but choose not to pay. You should be required to attend a magistrates court means enquiry hearing before this is decided. This gives you the chance to explain why you have not paid.

You don't stop, do you?!!!! I believe you that you were in the RN because you let everyone know your rank, "Petty Officer". Which is just what it says on the tin -PETTY- .
For anyone interested he was the equivalent of a Community Police Officer but on a ship. Nobody in the Royal Navy moans more than PETTY Officers.
No wonder the Swift class were always breaking down if you were one of the Mechs.

Yes, because the police have got nothing better to do than escort a baliff for a debt which is a civil matter. A baliff cannot force an entry, although he could climb through an open window or walk through an open door.
