To further highlight the bleak outlook on the bingo industry and following on from Nev's redundancy a few months ago from Mecca yesterday I was given 'notice of redundancy' and this morning I went in and was asked to leave the site hand my keys in as I am now on gardening leave!

oh what fun!

Sorry to hear that. Since the smoking ban there has indeed been a huge amount of staff cutbacks and loss of income etc. Our club hasn't been hit as badly as some others due to being the only one in the area and a lot of tourists coming through all the time but not so long ago they were reducing everyone's hours and really struggling to make up on the income they'd lost Sad.

Dont worry barry, sometimes these decisions are made for us, and mostly they are for the better you never know what life has in store. Remember life is a rollercoaster, full of ups and downs.
Hope it all works out mate.
Me 'n the wife both got laid off on the same day from the same place its a massive comedy kick in the googlies but we bounced back.
If all else fails you could become a policeman.
Best Regards
Andy and Sarah

Sorry to hear about that fella. I've been made redundant twice before now, but things have a way of working out. Everything happens for a reason, and while the short term might look iffy, in the long term, things will work out for the best. It could be just the nudge you need to get into the perfect job.

Best of luck mate!

So sorry Barry Sad
Things look bad all over.
Will you be removing the Mecca music from your phone now?
You could be in violation somehow if you fail to comply.

Maybe a local Kripy Kreme would be hiring. Smile

Barry...in all honesty, having heard your bingo calling skills on the the USA trip coach I am not at all surprised....what did you expect after your last text message to me!!!!!!!!

Seriously though ,good luck I hope something comes along soon as long as you don't have depend on your looks and charm.

Sorry I really do mean good luck.    Shocked
