Sorry to hear that Ally

On the flexible working agreements, a few others have them at work, should be no problem, it will be a fixed day which probably suits me anyway.

If it is a problem I have a union membership and a grievance policy to use.

Running club mate's mum died a couple weeks ago and she was only 70, hale and fit, a completely unexpected heart attack. Live your best lives people.

My neighbour died 2 days ago he was 70. A very fit man, used to hike the fells with his wife and dog every day. Also an unexpected heart attack. Just so sad.
