Ah I hear the old cliche-----What are you moaning about--
You're lucky to have a job!

Next train returning the Dickension era arriving on platform doom in 10 years. :neutral:

The Tories are about to "privatise" the NHS - do you see a great hue and cry and joe public manning the barricades - me neither. People have enough to worry about without concerning themselves about other peoples perceived problems - real or imagined.

We are sadly a country that only moans in retrospect.
The shipyards,the coal mines,the steelyards.
Their passing mourned...20-30 years after the fact.
Privatisation of the utilities is finally being seen for what it always was,a disaster for the customer but at the time nobody said much other than how many shares can i buy?
It's quite pathetic really,if i had the courage and the money i would leave this country and never look back.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

The sad fact is ft, when you have the money you're too old to start afresh in another country - though I must admit I never found anywhere quite like home to the point of coming back to the place I was born and even once bought a car from a garage my parents once owned - parochial enough to be an American. :Very Happy

They didn't last time but then the end result hasn't exactly been a triumph.

Privatation must be an American idealism and that cow Thatcher was in the pockets of Reagon.
Greedy capitalism.
This country is heading back in time to times of real poverty again.
Social morality is non existent, drugs,gangs-just like the Land of the Free! The American dream.
Is any other European country better-I don't know----can't be much worse? :cuppa

Far too much Americanisms creeping in to our way of life IMO.

Yes indeed and by the sounds of the NHS 'privatisation', we will have to get medical insurance like the bloody yanks! :no no
And a crap postal service. :cuppa

Good of you to pop in Moya, Alan, Adam or is it William. But can you change the tune, this myth is peddled every time a strike looms or takes place. We never get everything we want, but offers are usually improved. Even in Toms day management increased their offer.
