Have you any real idea why there aint enough money in Pension Funds, Cos its obvious to me yeh aint. Its certainly sod all to do wi folk not contributing enough to fund it.

Yer arguments nonsense n i reckon yer just a poor wind up merchant.

I heard that get income from worldwide banking and insurance services.
When that system collapses we will be in the compost, and the phrase 'Dig for Victory' will be replaced by 'Dig or Starve'.

That solves the obesity problem at a stroke

Saw my Uncle yesterday, who used to work for Philips -he told me that about 250 workers are left working in the UK to support 12,000 now on the pension for the company -a sign of the times surely....most manufacture is now in the Eastern block.

Better to spend your money supporting your own community at the end of the day surely.

At last an objective view. You are quite correct. The civil servants on here cannot see the money they earn isn't real. Sure they work hard and do worthy jobs but their money comes from manufacturers. If they don't put back into their OWN ECONOMY the money will run out and there's none left for anyone

So the British government buys ships from abroad. British shipyards shut down. More people on dole. Less people paying the civil servants. Less money. Point proved m'lud

The government are civil servants of course they should buy British

You buy as cheap as you want and earn the money of the cheapest manufacturing bases. I'm alright Jack

Yawn........ You're going round in circles Claytoner40. You'd have been much better off aiming the buy British argument at everybody, instead of trying to single out public service workers.

All you've managed to do is get everybody's back up with your unconvincing arguments. The irony is that the few remaining British manufacturers are staffed with Eastern European employees, Express Gifts springs to mind..

I have the patience of a saint, but I'm bored with you now and have better things to do..

So lets get this right, you want a new telly, so you go into Dixons and there are two tellies virtually the same, a British made TV costing £800 and a Japanese made TV costing £400, you would buy the British TV. This would lead me to believe that you have 1 of three problems, 1) your not wired up right, 2) you've more money than sense, 3) your a secret lottery winner and have told nobody about your win

Didn't take long for you to realise that John - we are only three pages in.

Didn't you suss it out from the first post?

I don't know why you are being so hard on Claytoner40?

Just a suggestion that was taken up by the Government a few years ago. Remember the 'Buy British' campaign ?

Of course we don't though. Shop for the best bargains at the best prices. I am guilty of this myself, however, do feel proud of myself if I have picked an item up with the Union Jack on it.
