I said to a former colleague who was a professional breeder "change is as good as maternity leave hey?" When she announced she looking for a new career. Mind you she had dislodged 4 kids in about 6-7 years and took 6-9 months off each time.

We had a manager who did similar but only had the 3 kids in pretty rapid succession and took maternity leave.
Management finally worked out how shit she was at her job when every single time her replacement well and truly outperformed her.
After she came back from the third maternity leave she was gradually “moved on” and ended up leaving

I thought he was going to flatten the GM and I had to ask the GM and Finance Director to leave the building for an hour.

They simply haven't thought this through and it's been an unmitigated disaster.

16/2 Members attached to Task Force Horizon conducting inquiries at Oak Park Station in connection with the disappearance of four-year-old Gus Lamont on 27 September have concluded searching for evidence today.

Inquiries are ongoing and it is anticipated that Task Force Horizon detectives will remain in the area tomorrow, Tuesday 17 February.

An update on the search activities will be provided as they progress.

As a result of a previous search at Oak Park Station, Task Force Horizon detectives have today arrested a 75-year-old from Grampus and charged them with firearm offences. They have been bailed to appear in the Peterborough Magistrates Court on 6 May.

Acting Officer in Charge of Major Crime Investigation Branch Detective Inspector Andrew Macrae said the charges are not related to the disappearance of Gus Lamont nor a previous incident at Oak Park Station in October 2025 involving media attending the property.
