Denise Lloyd Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 http://www.herefordtimes.com/news/14144475.Hereford_factory_to_make_all_manufacturing_staff_redundant_on_Christmas_Eve/ Shocking news. Many years ago Denco made a load of people redundant just on Christmas my redundancy came later. A load of us went to the Kerry Arms on a Friday lunchtime to drown our sorrows I think we were supposed to go back but nah we stayed and stayed. One guy Tony Issom (wonderful man and sadly no longer with us) lived in Peterchurch caught the bus home went to get off the bus caught his foot landed on his back in a ditch and there he stayed until the morning. Ah the good days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denise Lloyd Posted December 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Well done her and I bet you're glad. I think I was there in wait for it 1980'ish. John Tandy has he been there a very long time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian symonds Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 I thought they had already gone, it is bad for people who lose their jobs. When they can pay lower wages in China, this will happen more and more. Sadly manufacturing in this country have been going down hill for years.

Adrian symonds Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 I have heard many things about Eastern Europeans working in this country, and they are not all fantastic, reliable and trustworthy individuals I can tell you. I get really fed up of people putting our people down, a lot of people that was born in this country works hard to keep a roof over their head and yet all we hear is how good Eastern European are. Sure we get some lazy people here, but is that not the same in every place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Polish workers on average get below £1 an hr working in Poland and £6.50 (7.20) next April in UK, no wonder they come here to work.......At anything because to them a low paid job is a bloody fortune.
