There's words for people like you
'Our revenue for Christmas on an average year is approximately four times that of any other time of year based on accommodation and food alone - obviously our costs are much higher too, but opening at Christmas is very good business.'
This is presuming they pay. We sent the bill to one of the coach companies today and they told us, quite baldly, that they didn't have any money to pay us. You can imagine how we feel right now.

It is. Bearing in mind that we've already spent the money on Christmas and that it would take most of January and February to take that kind of money, it makes a huge difference. If it's quiet, we often take staff out of their departments and get them doing other work instead - painting and decorating, gardening, that kind of thing. If we don't get paid, it means those people will be made redundant instead.
Pretty crap Christmas all round so far, then.

"they told us, quite baldly, that they didn't have any money to pay us."
Surely they should suffer for that, and not you...

Well, of course. But it doesn't work like that. Realistically, what can we do? Take them to court, which takes time. And if they declare themselves bankrupt, how much are we going to get paid? Certainly not what they owe us.

To Arthur Perkins! (just been through a 6.6% Leffe, a 7% Christmas Ale and an 8% Jamaican stout, surprised I can still type...)

Now I have to instigate our grievance procedure against our second chef, on account of some very offensive comments he made about me when he thought I couldn't hear.
I have a bottle of good wine, and the day off tomorrow.
