I have some wooden ones I use for trackdays as the handbrake doesn't get used during the day.
Which reminds me, I was hoping to fit in one or two before the year is out then found out I only had 1/2 day holiday left, apparently I used my quota of bereavement days then had to take holiday! Them feckers at ACAS think 3 days is sufficient for losing a parent!

You'll need to change your avatar pic to one with your new rimms Mick. Looks a bit strange, im use to seeing your zed with the darker 5 spokes.

That's not good, my employer, who are as tight as wheel nut fitted by kwik fit asked if 2 weeks was enough, no mention of using holiday, when my mum died.

I get 2 days paid... but i can take more unpaid..... although that might change to be less US focused soon.
But glad to hear that the car is coming along nicely, you'll be glad to get in it again and go for a drive!

I'm looking to maybe give it a run tomorrow to work, a Friday treat But before then I will double check the gov website to make sure I can drive it as waiting for the tax disc to arrive as it has been sorned since November. Not sure if the same applies if sorned when re-taxing a car and driving it without displaying a disc? It will feel weird as I have only driven the Vectra ever since!

Wow.... That is shocking chaps.
The Air Force give you at least 2 weeks, and more if you require it, for a parent.

Not only did I take the day off he was actually dying, but the next day and another the same week, plus one for the funeral arrangements, the funeral itself and the day after as felt like ****. 3 days is all they allow...................who can assess the time you need and how it hits you? No two people deal with it in the same way. I still have bad days even now and no doubt will forever and a day.........

I think you can be fined for failure to display a valid tax disc...
As for time off... I was allowed 2 days off after he went and one day for the funeral... I had to take the day after the funeral off sick...
