It's people like you who have ruined this country. Encouraging the peasants to expect to be paid for doing nothing!! This is the thin end of the wedge, believe me. Bah - humbug!! Make sure they come in early and leave late for the rest of the year. And don't pay them.
That's really nice stoke - and a merry Christmas to you too!
Ours are all leaving at lunchtime, and at 11 a.m., we're going to give them all cards with a little bonus inside, as a token of appreciation for all their hard work. Think a crate or two of beer's going to emerge as well! : )
