I see the pet troll has missed his bedtime again.

I have a theory that BELLHOP BOY is some sort of Igor like henchman sent by some evil foreign overlord (possibly from over the pond) to rile up the proles so they fight amongst themselves.

bellend, have to agree with some things so say old chap. Assuming I get paid correctly next Friday my Angard exp will be similar to yours, (again assuming they got my P46 by email and post).

Its clear that in the aftermath of Christmas Angard need to get their s**t together for next year, and those that have been affected by Angards bad communication policy should write letters of complaint to the RM and to their MP etc so that this is raised at the highest level. The problem is, Angard will probably be allowed to carry on as they are, because if they can't get the numbers in then the RM will just phone one of the other agencys and get some manpower in the following day.

In work yesterday we must have had about 2 dozen other agency workers that had a phone call on Wednesday asking to start on Friday - no massive list of ID to provide, no full check of convictions etc etc, the guy I was working with was still doing community service (as I asked what he was doing this weekend!!!)

Got to say even though my Angard experience hasn't been great so far, I seem to have learned a few things in my time there. For me they have at least managed the basics, they phoned me 2 days before I started with a job offer. Then they sent me a contract on the 1st day I was there, had my id badge and name on the list. I have been paid 3 weeks money all on time, I have even managed to get on the right tax code as well and even got a pay slip in the post. Common sense and initiative seem to get you in the right places with Angard so I am not sure what some people find so hard about achieving the basics. Above all its too easy if you have the knowledge it would seem. So while some of you have worked weeks, and not got a penny, yet continue to work and not kick up, and continue to pay sky-high tax because you don't know the system and yet persist to even turn up to the job with no contract and no confirmation. Who in their right minds would operate like this!god help you!
Its amazing with a little punctuation and spelling how much easier it is to read your posts. Still not very respectful towards others but I can't expect miracles.

Well their IPs, which can be masked I agree, would tend to refute that argument. One of them has a corresponding email address to his IP as well so its either a well set up IP masking/sock puppet scenario, or more likely they are 2 different people.

Even if it was the same person to be honest we don't care, because of what has happened in the past (search Bristol 5) some of the more prolific posters have 2 or more identities on here to try and keep the anonymity protected.

Also while I think your wrong I have to add that a particular idiosyncrasy of RMC is that it is considered Bad Form to try and "out" peoples identities or their secondary log ins, mainly for the reasons described above.
