Watch out for that icy spot it's about to cause you a lifetime of pain and surgeries!!
were do I send my quids
It wouldn't make any difference, I wouldn't have listened, especially not to and old bloke like me.
Don't worry... we might be rubbish now but in 10 years time we will sign a lad called Shearer, and another called Sutton and beat the scum to the title.... but then after that you might as well get rid of your season ticket because the next 20 years are dreadful !
Joking aside I was fortunate enough to have someone (over 30 years ago actually) who taught me one of life's most important lessons, one that has stuck with me all of that time.
I had just started my first job, the sort of job that was one of those 'this will do until I get a proper job' type of jobs. I was working at my bench in a Sheffield factory when a supplier of ours came in. For the sake of the story I'll refer to him as Bob...................because that was his name!!
He saw a new, fresh faced kid, came over and introduced himself and asked me a little about myself.
About a week later Bob came in again JUST as I was opening my first pay packet. He remembered my name and asked "what you got there?"
"Pay packet" I said.
"First one" he asked, knowing full well it was. "Have you checked it?" he said.
I must have look a little bemused as he added "Check the hourly rate, the hours you've worked, tax, N.I. and your take home pay, because if it's not right go see your wages clerk as it should stand 100% inspection!!".....................As he walked away (and here's the important bit) he said "and don't forget what you did for it should stand 100% inspection too!!"
I must admit I didn't get the message for quite a while but once I did I realised he'd done me a huge favour. I'm not sure he ever realised what he'd done as he passed away not long after but his message is something I've tried to pass on to a number of people I've employed, some get it, some don't.
Without exception the one's who do get it. do well, the one's who don't (or can't be bothered to) get it, don't hang around long.

The way I looked at this Colin from years ago is this, if you don't earn what you get paid, your job cannot sustain itself.
