Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how beautiful Tom Daley is!!!!

OMG. Dream man

But, yeah, it's a kick in the teeth for the police who are not paid well anyway.

I agree with banding being very difficult to enforce different pay rises within the NHS. The banding system should be scrapped in my opinion.

I had previously been offered a job in the NHS, but it wasn't enough money for what I wanted to do so went elsewhere. Their interviewing is point scored as well so unless you say the exact right words regardless of experience it doesn't really matter. THat's my understanding anyway

I also hate the idea of not being able to do a job because you haven't got a piece of paper when you might have extensive experiencing actually doing it and insight that a lot of people wouldn't have.... but instead you have someone who goes university, gets the job and hasn't a clue. One of the reasons I didn't go University in the end. Wasn't worth it when I weighed everything up, but that's my personal opinion of how I felt wanting to go into a specific field of nursing.

I multi work with lots of professionals and the incompetance is astoundingly shocking. I love my job, but incompetance and laziness are my two biggest annoyances.... along with there just not being enough funding/services which makes my job difficult. Hands tied
