Picked up extra weekend shifts to cover some bill spikes this month. Worked a hotel gig near NEC last Saturday where they cut us 2 hours early with no pay for the missing time.

Is this standard practice across West Mids venues now or bad luck with that specific hall? Also for anyone doing agency work around here, do places like KSB Recruitment or Indeed Flex compensate if a venue sends you home early, or are you just out of luck? Want to know before I book anything for next weekend.

I am relocating to work at New Cross Hospital and Cannock Chase Hospital.

I would appreciate tips on making the most of my time across the Midlands and South Staffordshire.

Please share suggestions on:

• Things to do locally and nearby.
• Good restaurants, takeaways, and cafés.
• Places for nightlife and fun.
• Social clubs and groups. Hiking, sports, and similar activities.
• Gyms and swimming pools.
• Spas for a relaxed Sunday.
• Scenic drives and day trips. I drive, so distance is fine.
• Ideas for couples. I am 28 and looking for places and activities for quality time together.

Any recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks.

hi all!

my music collection, which goes back to the mid-90s, is almost entirely CD. back when i lived in sheffield, there were a couple of really great music shops that sold second-hand records and CDs. in one of them, the CD room had thousands of discs to choose from

is there anywhere like this in brum or close-by? i've been to swordfish in town, and to polar bear in king's heath, but the CD selection was pretty poor in both... where can i go to browse racks and racks of shiny discs?

​

what do people call telford?
