I suppose it depends who you work for. I'm work for the NHS with a team of Community Nurses. We all try to get back to work as soon as possible after being off sick, or after a bereavement, as being down team members when you are dealing with people who rely on you, can make working lives difficult. I do get what you're saying though. When I worked in the private sector, I took all the time I fancied.

I went to a dancing school instead of a normal secondary school.We all had tap lessons and when we were learning the timesteps (that's what they're called, there are 4 of them with varying degrees of difficulty),at different times, depending on what grade you were doing,in the playground could always be heard brush step,spring,brush,tap,step,step,over and over again!It was maddening at times!When Joyce started teaching the inmates tap,I was at my dancing school learning the timesteps, and couldn't believe that I couldn't get away from them when I got home (I was a weekly boarder)!Seeing this again,the first time since the 80s, it's bringing everything about my school,all my dance classes,the people there,and,of course, learning and practicing,the timesteps!Great memories!🇬🇧♥️♥️♥️🐊🐊🐊

He certainly would have been in the 1980s. These days, there's no such thing as 'innocent'. People believe that you just found a way to get away with it.

He could come back home to old Blighty " England" & buy half of Yorkshire & still have change ! I know it's only a TV show ! But these thing do happen in real life !

[@frankbrodie5168]

This is a pretty light hearted comment. But you need to look on a UK map and check the size of Yorkshire and some of it's towns and cities therein. At a guess I would say it's in the top 3 net worth counties in the UK. Actually I'm off to check Google now because I'm curious now I've mentioned it. lol

[@frankbrodie5168]

k, Yorkshire as a whole county is listed as considerably the highest GVA in the UK. Greater London comes in at £45k GVA. All 4 Yorkshire regions added together add up to.... 75k GVA!

[@jtpinnyc]

Are we really supposed to believe that merely days after Sheila is released, she manages to record a demo tape of Pixie's song, hawk it to a record company, sign a contract, go into the studio and do all of the performance, then have the track mixed and mastered, pressed, distributed and marketed to the point where it's on radio stations? The "artistic license" in Prisoner's writing was hilarious sometimes, lol.....

[@elusivespirit2959]

It is believable as Judy, who could just play the piano writing a hit song after showing no inclination of any artistic expression for her entire run in the programme.

[@mike-kellydutkiewicz5991]

It seems that Grace is not only a twisted swine, but he is so unprofessional that he can't even manage to force an apology to Dennis. It was obvious Dennis was not guilty all along and that Grace was just jumping to ridiculous conclusions. Lexie must be desperate for her to do a deal with scum like Frank. Good to see Geoff on track to get paroled. I hope he gets it as he is the only one of the three guys that I can respect. The only problem is that his release would give Frank a clear run of the place because you can't rely on Matt to keep him off the women's backs.
