I must admit I never ever complained about my work because I loved the road haulage industry and was really happy in my work. When I was driving I always seemed to get a new truck every August 1st, other drivers who had worked with me never understood why even though they had worked for many years longer than me within the same company, but I knew why!

Yes Steve..I observed the same just about everywhere I have been employed in the past...
As long as the old flaky paint on the wall is reasonably happy ...Let it be!
I just wish it wouldn't moan and groan in the tea room quite so often.
as you say..Save for the future and have an objective and make good your escape!
Good attitude you have

every year has been the same for as long as i can remember, yes the dark days when the question was, can we have a pay rise, the answer , you have a job think yourself lucky and indeed we was lucky to be in work,
The last few years we have had a percentage rise, and once the ones who has money worked it out , thats a bloody wast of time its worked out at so and so, well my thoughts was thats a little extra to go away, we all have to cut your cloth accordinglyto what we have and what we can get for that amount, good luck to anyone earning more then me and those who dont , well get another job or spend it wise

Above inflation pay rise every year and already guaranteed 0.5% above inflation for next April. All negotiated by the terrible left wing trade union.
By the way never had to strike for a pay rise.

I'm praising the Union at my site. Our location has helped our cause otherwise we could of gone the way of 3 of our other sites. For the first time in 8 years our site are taking on new drivers be it on the new terms and conditions ie; 40% less take home money than us!!...there's no shortage of takers, mainly poles from the agency...our terms and conditions, thanks to our Union, can't be touched..we are the dying breed!!...when we leave, replacements will either be agency or new employees.

Mark, you're much too young to remember the 70s.
I however will now disappear off into a world of youth, flares and chicken in a basket.

Ah yes, Simon. Tbh, though ... I've never been used to much money. ... my late, first wife suffered from severe rheumatoid arthritis (NOT Arthuritis, I'd hasten to add!) throughout our 24-year marriage, and was strongly~advised by her doctors that running a household - combined with caring for a husband and two kids - was a BIG enough responsibility ... without taking on the extra physical demands of an "outside" job.
So, for me, at least, it's simply a case of "what you never have you never miss"!

That's a bit dodgy Mark. The Poles could go on strike when they realise that your're on 22k more a year than them for the same job.
Or the flip side is that the bosses might think hang on a minute we can have 5 poles for 3 Mark's let's get rid of all the Marks.
Much better that everyone is earning the same for the same job.
