£1,000 cleaning bonus

7 February, 2008 – 15:56
No wonder Honda Racing Team is offering £1,000 bonuses to everyone including their cleaners for every race won. I don't think bosses at Honda are in any danger of paying large bonuses to their cleaners this season.

I would say - find another way of advertising. Bottom line - always obbey the law! Anyway, who pays attention to roadside advertising when driving? I don't. I thought that the NHS has managed to sort out its problems with the cleaning side of the things. Apparently not. I read that the Princess Royal University Hospital in Orpington, Kent has been recently issued an "improvement notice". This is reserved for serious breaches of the hygiene code laid down by the government. Inspectors have found thick layers of dust, soiled commodes marked as ready to use etc. What ...
