I think the BBC need to walk as though on egg shells, especially now.

Still overpaid and sexist. I see no increase in womens sport, despite the realization at the olimpics that they did to much mens' sport.

They have reduced the number of minor admin people earning mega bucks - but still generous and now we find them tax avoiding!

We can now add dubious employment practices. There are ways and ways to treat people. I read yesterday that the first some of the people at UBS knew they were sacked was when their swipe card no longer fitted in the door!

For a number of years, we used to help out at a local festival - do anything asked - a barn dance here or a pub there or do the bandstand - sometimes at short notice during the week. We did not ask for any money, although sometimes we got expenses. One year we were about to book time off from work and thought, the working programme has not arrived. This was the first we knew that they did not want us that year. Not a good way to find out. There is no good way to be sacked - but some are better than others.
