But having worked for British Rail pre 93 I saw it ran at an ridiculous amount of waste, so and it’s a bit controversial but maybe privatisation has worked but as ever the government went to far and cut everything to the bone

My Boss .. "Are you busy tomorrow?"

Me… That entirely depends on the rest of the information you're about to give me.

I agree that the NHS should always be free to the point of use however there needs to be more joined up thinking in purchasing, in my industry I see vast amounts of waste and a NHS contract shouldn’t just be an easy target to vastly increase costs.

The flats are managed by an agent, is there evidence he knew this (not defending him I haven’t seen anything that says he did)

I
listened to about 15 mins of the Rest Is Politics Leading interview with him and just turned it off as he is just to argumentative and won't accept Brexshit went wrong but also can't come up with things that are better.

There is much call for CU/SM but really would the 27 really want us back given the hassle and there is a legal chance that the nasty party could get re-elected in 29 and start the campaign to leave again. A special agreement is better IMHO

People complaining about the supposed #wokeness of Pink Floyd’s 50th anniversary of Dark Side of the Moon post have no understanding of the history and should be sent to Prism

Over next week to install it properly as it’s an SC connection on the pole and I have a 50m fibre in my carry on bag

When they finally installed the fibre in my father in laws house it was an utter joke, they wanted to charge him to dig a trench (we had already dug one in) and then said it had to be the closet point to the pole due to the light levels (incorrect l) two visits later and still not sorted.

What’s the difference between a hippo and a Zippo? One is really heavy, the other is a little lighter.

This is what happen when you actively close down a railway industry and privatise everything so all the skills are lost and you have to build by making mistakes again.
