Levy process Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Depends where it is. Around where I live rent of 647 pcm don't get u anything decent. That's right. 20K salaries are too small to allow affordable living whether by buying or renting. And 20K is a lot more than many NHS staff get. The situation now is that loads of people just simply can't afford accomodation now. Outrageous. What if they couldn't afford food? Not being able to afford shelter is only one step down from that.

GAL BEAR Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I Really do think you need to let this lad know what a terrible mistake he is making. Do you know his home address? Could send him a FTB HPC leaflet? (This is pinned I think). If not, does he have a car parked at work (stuff one under the windscreen wiper). If not do you have a works canteen? Leave some prints on the tables or in the smoking room (if he smokes). I have done a variation of the above. My opinion is the more you can 'bombard' the senses with alternative literature the more the message starts to sink in. Might be worth a try if you don't want to face him yourself (and I can't say I blame you as i have taken plenty of flack like you in the past). One trick which I find has worked quote nicely is every time there is a 'Bearish' headline in one of thew newspapers I buy about 3 copies and leave them (strategically placed) in the canteen and the smoking room, opened at the suitable page of course. It does get people talking and more importantly 'thinking' if they see it in the press enough. Good luck GAL BEAR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if HM is feeling warm and fuzzy inside about these incredible advancements we have made. Gordy had a crack. To be fair, Public services did and do need a massive ramp but the money spent doesn't seem to have come through. Poorly managed investment in conjunction with economic mismanagement. Time to give someone else a go. Whatever party that is. I don't think he will make any improvements from now however much money and time we throw to him. Bring in someone with some new approaches, someone who might get the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The party isnt elsewhere, there is a party in the uk if you work hard and are looking to export your earnings to an eastern european country..

AteMoose Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) How many Slovakian girls do you know? Four Slovakians girls, one Cheq girl, all seem to very nice caring and (innocent?), internet seems to be iffy so it got posted multiple times...

AteMoose Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) Hmm, I wouldn't exactly call wiping old people's arŞe's for 100 hours a week a party, but hey whatever floats your boat.... ok... its only 26k at minimum wage, but from the perspective of an eastern european it feels more like 100->150k... If you could go to another country work for 150k for a while, and move a large proportion of the money back you would... The party is here, your not invited because we already live here, and we want to live here long term....
