Vacancy - Digital Editor

[DonB]

When I saw the title "Digital Editor", I thought Andy was seeking some-one to smack the fingers of transgressors of forum rules (no names, no pack drill!)

They couldn't afford me !

Anyway, I hope the main requirement is the ability to string a few words together and still make sense to all readers - a qualification that I lack.

 

I would have thought that a "digital" editor in this day-and-age would have been open to remote working so would have no need of a car?

 

Kenton, your talent is matched only by your modesty.

I remember thinking at 16 I was too old for half-fares, at 29, too old to become a footballer, at 49 I was too old to be called up, at 65 I was no longer required to pay NI stamps and now at 70 I'm too old to give BRM the benefit of my experience.........Dream on son...

The new police station in West Bromwich has nowhere near enough parking places for the staff which is causing annoyance to all the local residents, as their streets are getting blocked up. It doesn't even have any cells. Guess who built it? Tesco, so they could build a huge monstrosity on the other side of the town centre.

 

Our 'new' local cop shop hasn't got any cells either - and notwithstanding there being a quite large police station within 10 miles they have to send anyone they're locking up to another cop shop over 20 miles away because it's the nearest one 'in the same area'.

At least they are offered a salary.

 

The concept of "interns" in industry was the nadir for me. I always make sure I'm paid for any work I do (except once for Tisch Film School/NYU to help out the students - plus a few Charity commitments) - since I was 15. People, I find, appreciate your work more when they actually have to pay you for it.

 

Best, Pete.

I associate "intern" with internment, working for free as a sort of voluntary prison!

 

As for local council parking policy, words (nearly) fail! The tactic of refusing planning permission unless car parking is deliberately made insufficient is just plain wrong. Our offices can hold up to 3000 staff. When it was built, on a former brownfield (rubbish landfill) site that my company paid handsomely to be cleaned and restored, with a huge area turned over to public parkland, Hillingdon council only allowed us 1800 car parking spaces.

 

Some local councillors are very good and work diligently for their communities. Sadly, I feel some go into the job to play at being politicians and to feel important.

Now if they were advertising for a Vacant Digital Editor, I may be in with a chance ...

To be fair there is a LOT more to this one than Tesco. Sorry to go off topic but Tesco did not get involved in the detailed design of the building or the decision about the amount of car parking to put in. I am certainly not pro Tesco but I am pro getting the facts correct.
