And then there was inferior and poor quality manufacturing especially in the motor industries resulting in the loss of valuable exports despite government billions being pumped into the industry.
I remember leaving one job I was just bored, walked down the road and was employed again before I turned into the next road ! I remember strikes yes but was only ever involved in one, that was when a man had lost an arm because our employer insisted we remove a safety guard from a cutting machine. Rubbish yes remember that too can't remember why they struck though.

It takes much acumen to appease the Mob, when the Fast Food slows down, all that for little recompense, well done, you have earned your stars.

Hi

Low achievers are what Society depends on.

It would cease to exist without sewer cleaners, bin men, hospital porters and cleaners, vegetable cutters and fruit pickers.

I started off in life cleaning sewers, I know what hard work is, I know what it is to be looked down on by others.

Those working in McDonalds are good honest people, they have the work ethic.

The workers deserve good housing, a decent wage, proper medical services.

They are not to be mocked.

If you were as you say a boss, an Army Boss at that, you are unique in my experience.

I have never known any WO who was so disparaging of others.

Well said Swimfeeders!
A captain without a crew is not going anywhere.
It's the workers that make the bosses rich.

You obviously missed the thread entitled 'Musicals' wherein I suggested that the G&S Operetta 'The Mikado' has a particularly relevant aria.

Oh was Rehab a WO??? - I had him marked down as a grubby little corporal - like those across the Channel - one in France and t'other in Germany.

Hi

I can fight my own fights UJ, I don't need you.

Whatever issues I may have with posts from another member, they are most definitely above those who post rebel songs and celebrate the random killing of innocents by Terrorists.

Love him or hate him, everybody is talking about Corbyn, more so than any other party leader that I can think of!
