No way! She's class. Got my band our first ever gig at the Big Jug in Durham. Always got on great with her.

Aye. Long time ago now.

Disgusting that Unions who are there to protect all its members stand by and let it happen..they also had a days strike because there wasn’t enough microwaves in the bait cabins and they threatened to strike if the company didn’t put mini buses on to take them from the bait cabins to the dockside when it was raining (honest)..i worked for MAPEL doing the inspection..there was a canteen there and I went in because chicken curry was on..the lass serving said I could only have a pie because i didn’t work directly for AMEC..I started laughing and she said no honest it’s a Union agreement..only the AMEC lads get the curry.

I thought AMEC owned MAPEL then

They did..they came under the same banner but they still wouldn't let me have the chicken curry because i didn't work directly for AMEC..i had to have the pie instead.

Don’t think they’d been invented back then..they would’ve probably only let me have mince anyway.

Have worked with a company in the past called Mistras with a lot of ex MAPEL lads, mainly North Tynesiders. I will just think of them as curry eating b@st#ar&s now
