Find Ancestors

Just a thought and a nudge up from page 2 !!

My brother died about 2 years ago in Manchester - I couldn't get up there very quickly so I was allowed to get the death cert here in Leicestershire !!

For future generations doing research - will the death be registered in Leicestershire, even though it happened in Manchester ??

Busy day at work but had the best jacket spud at lunch time...........yes its that exciting ;-)

Where are you all hiding :-S

I've been to Ikea - bought myself a new swivel chair for when I use my desktop computer. My old one has a dodgy wheel and when it comes off, can tip you to the floor..... :-D


Done my ironing.


Made tea.


Climbed a friend's tree looking for ancestors.


Been chatting on the dark side.


That's me accounted for.... :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Ikea made an application to open here

Sheffield Council said no

I have been playing with my FT yeah and now all I want to do is keep going BUT we have the girls for the next 2 days.

We also have them on Thursday afternoon and Saturday morning :-)

Also been catching up on phone calls to relatives that were long overdue and booking tickets for the workshops for WDYTYA :-D

I just discovered last night that the WDYTYA USA version is on BBC1 last night at 11.20pm it is half way through the series.

I don't know if it is a repeat I haven't seen them before last night it was Cindy Crawford.
Think I should go to bed now to prepare for the next couple of days ;-)

our local Ikea is apparently the only one in thw rold that has a union, or at least one affiliated with a major union.

The workers have been on strike since May last year.

The store is opne, limited hours (like from noon to 6 pm), and you cannot return stuff etc.

It seems to have turned VERY bitter

The problem?? .......................................



Hardships pile up as six-month-long labour dispute drags on at Richmond Ikea store
By Paul Luke, The Province December 2, 2013


The tussle between the Teamsters and Ikea, the province’s second longest ongoing labour dispute, shows no signs of a quick resolution. No talks are scheduled, but both sides say they’re ready to resume bargaining — if the other party is reasonable.

An attempt at reaching a mediated settlement in July collapsed when workers voted down the company’s overhauled offer.

For the union, the main issue in the dispute initially was a two-tier wage system for long-term and newer employees demanded by the company in its first offer.

In its second, mediated offer, Ikea revised the two-tier system by offering lump-sum payments and a complex system of percentage pay hikes based on what the union calls unrealistic sales targets.

Ikea wants to cut staff costs and improve productivity at the store, which it says is 30 per cent lower than its best-performing store in Canada.

Ikea Richmond has the worst productivity record in Canada and the highest staffing costs, said Ikea spokeswoman Madeleine Lowenborg-Frick.

“Ikea is asking the Richmond store to improve productivity from being the lowest-performing store in the country to the seventh out of 12. The sales goals set out by Ikea are attainable.”

Fifty per cent of Richmond employees make at least $18 an hour and 25 per cent make at least $21 an hour, wages that are above the retail industry standard, Lowenborg-Frick said.

The Teamsters insist the dispute is a lockout; Ikea calls it a strike. On Sept. 13, B.C.’s Labour Relations Board ruled that the dispute “meets the definition of strike under the Code.”

Mornin all~~~~~~


Kettle is on and I've done some cheese and coleslaw toasties

Good morning all :-)

Lovely to see you about Sylvs <3 <3

Thank you for those toasties Ginns but I am not sure that I lke the combination of cheese and coleslaw in a toastie :-S

I would enjoy a cheese toastie 'with' coleslaw on the side but nith with it inside with the cheese - which have you prepared??

Anyway, just in case, I have done some cheese and ham ones to give a choice.

Thank you anyway for making them and the cuppa was excellent as usual.

Dea Xxx

Good morning......and I will add a contribution of toast and cereal to the breakfast. Thanks... :-D



OH has asked what I would like to do today - it was his idea to go to Ikea. Almost straight away I said....Dunelm Mill..........can't say he was overawed by my choice :-D



I want to pick up a couple of extra towels - the same make as we already have so that they all match. Of course, there may be the odd thing I may spot as I wander round..... ;-)


Got to pick up a prescription first so will see you later ~~~~~~

Oh I am shattered already.

Got the little ones today and O has been up 4 times through the night complaining of earache :-(

She is at nursery and F is full of fun will just have to see how things go as the day goes on :-)

Dea re your post a couple of days ago about your brothers DC.

I haven't seen a reply unless I have missed it.

I think the death will be registered where you got the DC unless someone knows differently??
