My carrier bags live in the veg rack then use them in the bin upstairs or for gathering rubbish out of the garden. Veg peelings go in my biodegradeable bin bags for the compost bin. Have got a few of those bags for life - mainly the m&s ones. The one i use most though is the radio lancs one seeing as i can chuck it over my shoulder instead of having to carry it leaves the hands free for other things then.

Yeah, My JJB ones are used for the kids swimming, because of the draw strings.

Watching back over the clips from earlier, I have to say that I find David Cameron soooo very sexy. Why oh why do people vote for Labour? Nobody actually seems satisfied by them.

This is the best(or worst) Tory government we have had for years.

Are you having a laugh? We're under Labour at the moment....

This reminds me of when I had just met my seminar group at uni for the first time and I was overwhelmed by all the intelligent people walking around and then one said she thought the tories and the conservative party where two different things...

Madness

Some times blazey I have to think when reading some of your posts, that there's a light on but no ones at home

you must live a very sheltered life, Labour grass routs have said for many years that THIER GOVERNMENT IS MORE TORY THAN THAN THE TORIES!!!!! I don't agree mind you, but who am I to rain on their parade, I did actully vote for the real Tories, and have never felt the need to sell my principles down the road on the altar of electibility

If this thread is solely on booze fags and placky bags I'm sure the mods will move this post, but on the budget, I am surprised that no one has made mentioned of the people claiming long term incapacity benefit. We all know tha there are people claiming this benefit that are swinging it, to say the least. But when a blanket statement is made lumping everybody together, it makes me less than pleased. The fact is, that the people doing these assessments usually don't have any medical knowledge. There are people who are unable to work because of very severe health problems, I know I'm one, and I know not the only one on here either. Over the years I have been to more than my fair share of medical assessments and failed with flying colours, in fact many years ago, I was refered to a DHSS doctor and his words were very chiling to me, he said "Why do they keep sending you to see people like me, they are wasting your time, my time, and their money, your complaint is never going to get better it is only going to get worse, much worse" I was 35 at the time, and whats more he was right. So how this government think I, and people like me, can make a remarkable recovery, is beyond me entirely, but if I have to attend for an assessment I will, the only thing is they will have to provide an escort to carry the oxygen machine which I am now pluged into 16 hours a day, or I'm afraid the games a bogey

You are not comparing the whole thing though are you.

You need to look at wages, health and benefits etc to see a fuller picture

couldn't agree more, will probably use tiredness as an excuse, but we know.

well the health service over there is FAR superior to ours, which amazed me when i lived there, but having first hand experience of it,i can say that with certainty.

Neil · 13-03-2008, 11:44

How do you pay for it though?
What about wages and work terms and conditions?

well i payed for it by paying "Social Security" spanish version monthly, seemed a bit pricey at first until i understood it, i paid from me earnings the same monthly figure, but what i never knew was it covered my whole family, which if kids were living over with was worked out at "Peanuts" really ya gotta live in these places to get a true picture how things work, cos as we all know the media sensationalise everything n give a false impression.

works terms n conditions again if you work under "Contract" out yon, most brits do not,cos they dont register, you are covered for wrongful dismissal better than here, friends wife has just gone through it, takes a bit longer than here, but the onus is more on the Boss to explain, here the onus is on the dismissed.
