Ian Dome Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I was in and around Leeds city centre today, around town hall area where the public sector work, and bar a few tents () it was dead. Left the city and wanted a sandwich. Couldn't believe how busy Tesco Extra was .. every trolley checkout had queues of at least 5 or 6 people with full trolleys.. it took me 25 minutes to get to the front of the self-service, of which there are 12 checkouts. Then it occurred to me, people are having the day off and many kids are off school. So who is actually striking, as in protesting? All i saw was shoppers scrambling to spend money.

MrSmith Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 They could have done the economy some good, they’ve all been spending money at Meadowhall and the government didn’t have to pay wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiSiSi Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Or can I not recognise sarcasm when I read it? Think I might have jumped to conclusions on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
