Again, mate.....many thanks.
Smack is a hateful, harmful drug. Thanks to your selfless public service, we can all see how your brain, what's left of it, is addled beyond repair.
If I could, I'd have you as the star turn in a "SAY NO TO CRACK/SMACK" campaign.
Lets make it clear how far I am from combat 18 with this sentiment.
It is the economy and all it's little sub units in their desperate and blind drive for more and more wealth that is ruining the planet and will probably drive us and most other animals to extinction. We talk about poor, but don't have a clue how far from true poverty we are. I'm not against working for a living, I'm just saying we should put the brakes on a bit so that the average man can enjoy more time to spend with his/her children and bring them up better, which is a noble cause. Working yourself to death so that you can live in a house twice as big as you actually need and at the same time boosting corporate profits is madness. You are playing somebody else's game.

Trouble is you f****d up that post about "means less on welfare" and came across as a complete right wing exploiter ,tis a sensitive medium and it's all in a phrase. Then again if you can't afford a roof of your own or you have to choose between cold and hungry I would suggest you are experiencing true poverty

ok then, I meant if there are less full time jobs and instead a greater number of part time jobs such that those who aren't working have a greater number of jobs available to them. This will reduce the welfare bill and drive the economy better. That is what I meant by the above statement.

I don't think that really works in practice.
It certainly hasn't in RM.
It just means that more people have to work more OT in order to take home a wage they can live on.
The changes in retirement age is going to have a massive effect on job vacancies. Its a lose lose situation. The country has nothing to export anymore and all home grown firms have been bought up by the rest of the world. In other words ' We're f****d!'
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
Come on everyone, banner18 is just stating his opinions, there is no need to excessively take the p**s; or banner18 will be onto the bullying and harassment hotline.

If nobody did ot, how many more jobs would become available in RM? I get that you think people need more and more money. I live on a modest amount and refuse to play their game.

Stop moaning about who's going to pay for what whether part time or full time. You work - pay taxes - then you die.
We will all be pushing up daisies before we can enjoy any retirement. Haven't seen any gravestones with "Hard Working Postie - Loved by Royal Mail" It is those close to you that enscribe the stones!
So if you want to work you b*llocks off and have you 2 weeks in the sun, fine
If you want to have quality time with your family go part time!
If you do just remember Royal Mail aren't here to hold your hand, they exist to rip it off!
