Had a B/F who worked there, though that was 15 years ago.
Now that is a very uninteresting first post!

Michaelg I was merely looking back nostalgically to my Young days.Working in a factory in Portadown in the early part of the 20th century my grandmother experienced plenty of bigotry and sectarianism but despite all of this I never heard her say a bad word about anyone.
I think you have just proved my point!

Proved what point? Ffs when I was a child the saying "looks like a Protestant (or Catholic)" was very common and non derogatory,as was the saying in my first job when a problem was resolved "it's more Protestant looking now" which nowadays would probably land the person saying it in a tribunal

Any suggestions for a re purposing of the big white elephant the Pastor has built?  :D

Illegal deeds in the new Building? Sure the Pastor hasnt even got into yet  :D
Maybe in the old one  ;)

It certainly wouldn't be the norm that an almost £300m turnover organisation would have a small accountancy firm as their auditors.  Their auditors are Stevenson and Wilson from Ballymena, it would be more normal to have a Big 4 firm as auditors once you get to that size.

Read somewhere during week, can't remember where, that employees had part of their salary deducted to go to the religious nutters' planned Ballymena Disneyland. Apparently one guy objected and promptly lost his job. ASFAIK, it's illegal to deduct anything from salary that is not tax/national insurance without the employee's permission. Added to that, their buses are supposed to be absolute shite and hated by many commuters in London

There are a lot of wtf stories floating round about some of the employment practices they used. But sure when you've got God as a shareholder its all for the greater good  ::) ::)

Well the guy posted on twitter about salary deductions so you can check there princess.

Whats the craic with the sale of the land for 4 million? was the sale legit? I read a bbc news article about it from 2012 stating the land was on the open market and noone wanted it so I think if thats the case then it was fair game and it cant really be used as a stick to beat them with. Although funding the 4 million purchase with the sale of their church to wrights is dodgy.  If it wasnt on the open market then surely the big contractors in the north could demand an investigation into the sale?
