Hello Edna!!!

Of course, you could always multiply it by 1.36..

£1:-- is approx $1.36 right now.

I remember when you could get a 2 - 1 ratio on dollar/pound 🙁

no queeqer taught me.

What?, a lesson 😄 😄

Yeah well I only really work there for the convenience. I shall rejoice when I leave at the end of september!

$260 for 50hrs 😕, do they make you work hard? I'm sure you get perks right?, like not having to wait in line for the rides, free candy and goodies, and you never have to pay to get it. What is the park that you work at called? I think I'll check it out on the internet........Thanks for the math lessons you guys, so now when I'm watching Bargain Hunt on PBS I'll know how much money those idiots are losing in Dollars 😄

It's Drayton Manor Park. I don't get free food or goodies. I get 6 cheap wristbands for the whole season and am allowed to go on the rides for free myself. But no queue jumping. But why on earth would I want to go somewhere where I spend most of my week on my day off? I never ever ever ever go on the rides so that perk sucks! And when we are in uniform we don't get served by any of the catering staff so we have to eat in the staff canteen where we have a wonderful chpice of crisps, crisps, crisps or unbelievably expansive hotdogs! Great for a veggie! The whole place sucks! It really is horrid! And don't even get me started on the holiday pay!

Oh my goodness, those slave drivers!!!! If I ever go to England, I will boycott Drayton Manor Park in support for their over worked, under paid and under perked employees!! P.S. This is off topic but does wearing glasses make your nose go numb? I have never wore glasses before, started 2 days ago and now my nose is numb, I'm starting to worry.... 🙁

Doesn't the canteen do crisps as well, Edna?

Not a glasses wearer, sorry...

Tex, there WERE plans afoot to go down to DM just to surprise Edna...

Staffordshire is in a sorry state if the convenience factor really does make that job somehow attractive to Elle.

BTW, that you don't qualifiy for minimum wage for that job is near scandolous...

According to my newely acquired dollar to pound knowledge, Edna is making $5.20/hr. USH said she's not making minimum wage, just out of curiosity what is the mw in the UK?........anyone wear glasses?

No, she is making £3.20 an hour which is $4.2. Miniumum wage is a little under four quid.

Oh man, that's sweat shop wages! Aren't things more expensive in Europe then they are in the US? $4.20 and hour, thats unbelievable. Do they discrimante against younger people, because Edna is only 18. Man Edna, that sucks, thank God your leaving those bastards, your going off to study medicine right? That's good, pretty soon you'll me making 90,000 pounds a year. 🙂

I don't know where you got THAT figure from. Besides, she has seven years to go before she can start climbing the medical salary ladder.

Some things are more expensive and some thing are cheaper, Texas.

Well some of us here feel Edna deserves 90,000 a year, but I can see others dont, Ushgarak. 😛

Not up to your usual standard there, Tex...

Where is everyone? This place is like a ghost town? Wheres Phinney6?

Queeq, Raz and RC are away and Dim and Gundy are still in their extended busy periods.

I believe Phinney has quite a full life sometimes as well.

Have no fear, I am here! I will double my posting average to keep the board lively! As for those deserters, I think you need to confront them. I'm not of a confrontational nature 😉

I wear glasses and es they make my nose go numb. They also make my nose sweat and when I get really hot they keep sliding down. That is incredibly annoying most of the time!

Still haven;'t seen you in glasses...

Well that is because you have never seen me do a large amount of reading or writing. To be fair I avoid wearing them as much as possible!
