Engineering firm 'lays off' staff
The engineering company is based in Dungannon, County Tyrone
A County Tyrone engineering company has introduced a programme of temporary lay-offs for much of its workforce.
Powerscreen, which is based in Dungannon, said it made the decision due to a lack of orders.
Three hundred of the company's 485-strong workforce will be laid-off for a week on Monday 15 December.
This will be followed by another four weeks without pay in January and February. The Easter holiday week is also being brought forward to January.

I have two outstanding speeding fines and an outstanding parking fine for Oz. They were sending letters to the womans house all the time while we were away with photos of me behind the wheel. She wrote to them when we got back saying that she wasnt driving and that we had split up and i was in India somewhere, heard nothing back since. This was all in rental cars where they took a copy of your licence when hiring which is where they get the address from. Also got a fine for driving through a toll bridge in around Sydney which was meant to be paid afterwards but to this day i have yet to see a toll sign! although the feckers we rented the campervan off at that time managed to take the money from our credit card about 5 months later with a nice wee administration fee for himself! My advice would be to ignore it.

Received in the post yesterday a letter from Victoria police in Australia, a speeding ticket for speeding while out there on my honeymoon in October. was wondering should i just bin it or can they make me pay it? will it come back to bite me on the ass if i don't? i have no intentions of returning there for the next 20/30 years. the fine is about $160 bucks and i was doing a 108 in a 100 km/hr zone. feckers. My intention at the minute is to bin it unless i am advised otherwise. Any advice.

Bogart is owned by John Keenan. I used to work for him! An absolute gentleman and probably the best salesman in the world. I've seen men come into the shop for a tie and come out with 2 suits 3 shirts and a coat as well! You will get a super deal with John and his customer service is 2nd to none.
Why people give their money to high street giants with no appreciation of your business is beyond me. They just suck all the money out of the local community to london or wherever. Support your local retailers guys.
