Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

The above info' on doctor's pay is totally incorrect.

The agencies they work for might receive these high rates but I am led to believe the doctors themselves aren't paid anything like these amounts.

And any locum who can charge himself out at £3,200 for a shift must be a negotiative genius.

What do you expect?

Maggie made the doctors "business" men and the applied their skills, couple with a crazy review of "working hours" and "contracts" of responsibility by Labour around about 2004.

But it suits Cameron and his loonies who want to reduce the "State".

Max,

In your image are you indicating that it is straight from the ambulance and into the bins?

Efficiency cuts!

Of course the docs and nurses are employed via an agency.

So what?

Whoever is negotiating these contracts needs to be sacked, as it's almost certainly fraud.

Why cant the hospital deal direct with the self employed docs and nurses, at sensible rates?

It's not hard to do, it's not rocket science.

Apply for the job then.

What!

Damn it! The agencies will go out on strike and then we'll have no agency doctors and nurses!

The NHS will then have to do it themselves and do their own advertising for doctors and nurses!

We can't have that! It must not be allowed that the NHS do their own advertising and interviewing for staff. Surely, they have better things to do?

Mike is still MD. The holding company is different.

If true, can someone tell me how they arrive at the official unemployment figs?

Do they just pull a figure out of the air?

Those figures must include pensioners and disabled people.

Re: 57854. I think you are wrong.

OK. Thanks.

Jeremy Clarkson is to be sacked as Top Gear presenter after a BBC investigation concluded he did attack a producer on the programme.

Lord Hall, the Director General of the BBC, is expected to announce his decision on Wednesday after considering the findings of an internal investigation.

Clarkson, 54, will be thanked for his work on the hugely popular motoring show, but will be told such behaviour cannot be tolerated at the Corporation.

It is understood a report into the so-called ‘fracas’ at a North Yorkshire hotel, concluded that presenter spent 20 minutes verbally abusing producer Oisin Tymon, before launching a 30 second physical assault on him.

According to well-placed sources, senior executives at the Corporation have been wooing Radio 2 Breakfast Show host and self- confessed ‘petrol-head’, Chris Evans in the hope he will agree to take over.
