MrSmith Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 You, and your family members must have been amongst the lucky ones, Mr Smith. I know of children for whom their school dinner was their only decent meal. I remember one little girl in my stepson's class at school who wore her older brother's football shorts as knickers, and whose shoes were a pair of Wellington boots with the top part cut off, to look like shoes. This child was always hungry, the poor little mite, and she was filthy-dirty, despite there being unlimited hot water "on tap" (No pun intended) through the flats' district heating scheme at the time. He worked on the coal face and didn’t earn any more than other miners, but he didn’t waste his money on booze, fags and gambling like many of his co workers.

Balpin Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 They are less important than food, so why should they be nationalised and not the supply of food. Why do you think these services should be natioalised? All essential services should be in the hands of the government. To have our main power supplied by foreign governments is folly in the extreme. The country could be shut down overnight, and havoc would ensue. In the 80'sand 90's this country underwent a sort of mental breakdown. Everthing was sold and it went on a wild spree under the great lady. Since the advent of Gordon Brown it seems to have regained its senses, and is realising its place in the world once more. What we need now is a proper PM of Wilson or MacMillan standard who can sort the mess out. Unfortunatly, non are in the offing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waste? They were redistributing wealth. He sounds a right card though. I bet a shift went like a breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandad.Malky Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 :hihi::hihi::hihi: Hilarious. Fears of a deep chill spread across Europe yesterday after a row between Russia and Ukraine over gas prices cut supplies to the rest of the continent on a day of plummeting temperatures and heavy snowfalls.
