Phill Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Just saying it doesn't make much sense considering the law, and the past on Tussauds employment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted October 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 It is strange considering how strict it used to be but I guess things change and aslong as the person in question is able to do the job I think its a welcome move.

Mark9 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I looked through Chessie's COSWOP and nowhere does it say under 16's can't work on the rides. In fact theres no restrictions for platformers at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickD Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Just saying it doesn't make much sense considering the law, and the past on Tussauds employment. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Have a look at the Laws in Kingston, they are completely different to those of the Runnymade (or something) which is Thorpe's local council. Every council has they're own laws. I am working less hours and days than some of the 16 year olds however some people aged 16 who are doing they're GCSE's like myself in year 11 have the same maximum working hours. I still work quite alot though thanks to new laws. Waiting for my contract to come in the post now. On Saturday I shall be laving at 7:45 and getting on the same train as the other chessie peeps, gots to get there and make my staff ID, not too sure how they're going to issue about 30 staff ID's that morning but meh.

NickD Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Yeah but still, they have to do 30 odd for all of the new staff in 30 minutes or so.. think they where meant to do it yesterday but they where a tad lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 We regret to inform you that on this occasion, your application has been unsuccessful.PFFT! Just because I wanted to work in R&A. Bastards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Well thats a bit crappy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Probably Vampire Dann.. although area 1 is very different to 2. We normall train people at Fury first because that has the most staff on it and because its the main ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickD Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Enjoyed working at chessie today very much, alot of the work I had to do today was however behind the scenes as I had to be trained up and shown all different parts of the ride which aren't of access to the public. So if anybody saw me it would've been somewhere random like underneath vampire lols. I completed training and was assesed on Vampire , Bubbleworks , Seastorm , Capers and Playhouse, not bad to get trained up on all those in one day. Working again next Saturday and will be back platforming for more than 30mins at a time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelski Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Well, I'm waitressing at the golf club at the moment.... fun fun fun! But eventually I would like to do something involving law... possibly European Law, or Criminology or a Barrister. Or if that fails and I'm too thick (which is quite likely!) then I'm thinking the police looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
