You just have to walk past a building site and stop for a few minutes and look at what’s going on to realize it’s not a place of work for anyone over a certain age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are more than happy if the Government benefit those who are already wealthy. What they don't like is losing their position of status at the lower reaches of the pecking order, so that they no longer feel they're better than someone else.

As the old saying goes, the two happiest days of a boater's life are the day they buy a boat and the day they sell it 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
