PAYD Contract and facilities in the block

[busby1971]

I would have thought that the only way to get the rule removed would be via a service complaint against the order being unfair or unreasonable. You could probably include standard of food and availability of choice with working hours chucked in for good measure.

Try and get a singly who's on their last tour to submit and stand back. If the answer you get back is full of bull then ask for clarification.

You could submit a few foi requests before hand to get all the in formation with regards reason for order.

And there lies the problem. Personnel can't complain without fear of recrimination career wise yet the RAF insist it is a fair and open system! I have always had a problem with organisations investigating themselves or making a judgment based on a complaint made against them.

Unless it's a civil rights issue, you probably have to consider how much personal mileage there is likely to be in pushing back.

Some windmills are just not worth tilting against.

How about cooking facilities outside the block?


A few pub size brollies set up outside each block with B-B-Qs going every evening should soon get questions raised by the CoC.

Years ago, I remember a post on a station commanders forum, one chap wrote in " How can cooking in accommodation be that hazardous if they even have a galley on Nimrod with x tonnes of fuel"?

The station commanders forum soon went the way of the PAYD complaint book and disappeared.

Ahhh they have thought of that. Any gathering of more then 2 people is classed as a block party and are not authorised. And people wonder why the social scene is dwindling on RAF bases with people locking themselves in their rooms after work!

As a member of JRSLA you have no rights as a tennant as you are not a tennant in MoD Accomodation.

This.

The perceived approach by the MOD is if there is such a demand to cook your own food, then go and rent in the private sector.

I'm not sure. Over here in Army land the SLAM blocks......There is a small fitted kitchen with 2 hobs and a microwave but we are not allowed anything else i.e George Foreman.

Sorry it's a necropost but.

Speaking to the latest batch of trainees I am workng with (16 bods) only 2 or 3 use the mess regularly. Chatting to one guy, who is a bit of gym junkie, he has a (GF) George Foreman. Told me he had a nice ham omlette for lunch cooked on his GF. I asked him how it stayed on the sloping grill bit. Simples he turns the GF upside down and props it up on enough stuff to make it level and ta dah instant level pseudo frying pan mock up thingy. Must be a long list of rules he's breaking but he is prepared to go that far rather than eat the high carb offerings in the mess.

What's wrong with the old idea of a hot dog sausage, a couple of forks, a bit of wire and access to a wall socket, it's worked for years. Solder a bit of wire to each of the two fork handles, attach the other ends of the wire to the positive and negative pins of the plug, NO not the "Ground Pin" , stick the pointy ends of each fork in opposite ends of the hotdog and then plug it in. Best to have the hotdog laying on a plate when you do this, just to keep the dog sh!t you've been carrying around on yer boots from gettin' in yer lunch. Should be ready for eating in a few minutes.

Coz it's probably easier (for the non sparkies) to buy a GF grill and negate the need for fecking about with solder and wires!!!

Because the youth of today would probably ty soldering electrical cable to a plastic fork.

Only coz all messes revert to plastic cutlery on a regular basis, so they can only steal plastic ones

Next time you see that guy, tell him to buy one of these and a pan. It'll make his life a whole lot easier. http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/househ...ic-mini-hob-stainless-steel-06238637-pdt.html
