Don't know if you get an award for 25 years service but you deserve a bloody medal Image, we all do for the s**t we've had to put up with the past few years.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

judging by my partners 10 year and 20 year ones youll get it about two years late and with the wrong starting dates etc :sad: he actually completed 20 years then left via ill health retirement, his totally invaluable and priceless piece of plastic crap (paperweight) stated "thanks for your 18 years service"

29 Here too and will do with the stuff the same as I do with it every time. Destroy it. Certificates, cufflinks all in the bin in the office. Turn down the free meals and don't attend. Sitting on a table with managers I don't speak to at work? Not likely. I come to work and then go home. Simples. Eeek.

Don't think I'll be here for the 40 one. TNT here we come and £5.85 an hour to boot :crazy:

What extra entitlement do you get after 5 years i've been with RM about 9 yrs now and still only get the 4 weeks that i got when i first joined. 2 summer weeks and 2 winter weeks. So where's the extra entitlement ????

So i'm basically owed 3.5 days per years over the last 9 years, or does it come down to what part of the country we work in or is it another bloody Local Agreement thing??
