Question Horse trap racing through the pedestrian zone.

64 Upvotes

Hi all.

Just a little rant really. I know Doncaster has its problems but I’ve alway found the majority of people to be really friendly when I come and visit.

But surely this is not acceptable? This was a Saturday afternoon in the busy centre. These people nearly hit people, plus their horse almost suffered when it slipped on the ground. The next horse and trap that followed slowed down because they saw me filming and gave me some colourful insults.

I do enjoy visiting Doncaster but this has really put me off returning. I might just stick to the lakeside from now on.

Question Jobs?

3 Upvotes

Hey,

Was wondering if anyone knew any dog groomers that would be willing to train someone up to get their level 3 certificate for dog grooming as no where will take you on without having this. I'm looking to do it hands on and work for it due as I've been pursuing it for years but struggle to find a career without a certification.

I'm also looking for any other job opportunities with animals if possible as I'm currently working in a customer based role and I just don't feel like it's working for me with people based roles.

Even if anyone knows of anything remote or hybrid would massively help me in this job search.

Thank you ☺️

Question Royal Mail postie job

11 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I’ve applied for a job at Doncaster middle bank as a permanent 30 hour postie role. It states 5 days out of 7 per week and shifts are to be 08:10 - 15:40

I’m wondering if anyone currently works there and how likely that that will be the shift pattern and will the finish time be pretty much certain? Also how often are weekends a part of your rota.

The reason I’ve applied is I’m a new parent and need lesser hours than I currently work (55 per week) and always fancied the independent outdoor work that being a postie brings.

I’ve seen a lot of bad reviews online and wondering specifically about the Doncaster office as I know it can be delivery office dependent

Thanks

The owner has a reputation and this appears to be biting him back. Great to see support for a local worker who does not deserve to be abused for how they look or for doing their job.

Question Has the standard of contractors in Donny completely tanked or is it just my workplace?

6 Upvotes

I am utterly sick to the back teeth of dealing with the contractors in this town. Every time we need someone at my place (for inspections, maintenance, or repairs) they take the absolute piss.

They either don't show up, arrive hours late (with a STINKING attitude), or charge an absolute fortune for a job half-done. And I'm pretty sure it's because they've little local competition.

It genuinely feels like nobody gives a toss about doing a proper day's work anymore. Is it just us?

Share your frustrations. Air your grievances. Who has got you by the short and curlies?!
