Jobsworths, and a blame culture, that is what is going wrong! I see it every single day.One company asked me to produce a risk assessment and method statement for one of our guys just touching up paint scratches on one of our units!! But more seriously, you may recall the Fire Brigade were lambasted for not reacting quickly enough to save the life of a women who had fallen down a well in a field. Just heard that the three fire officers have been aquitted after a lengthy and costly trial, for being responsible for the deaths of these men when attending a major fire. The person(s) who started the fire (arson) were not brought to justice either! www.shponline.co.uk/news-content/full/fire-chief-slams-prosecution-of-senior-officers-after-not-guilty-verdictsDammed if they do and dammed if they don't seems to be the message here. I also recall an off duty policeman was fired for having the adasity to save a drowning women, I believe in Perth a few years ago and after much public outcry, was reinstated!! and they wonder why this country is ferked up. What do you guys think?

I think we need a return to Victorian values. Bairns up chimneys and fully dressed single irons.
Joking aside, your right Kenny, the country is getting progressively worse. I had a walk on the beach at the weekend and the amount of discarded litter was just incredible.
I have been waiting since Saturday to take a delivery from a semi-pro courier company called 'Yodel'. This has involved making daily calls of approximately 20 mins duration (at a premium rate) before you even get through to an alleged 'customer services operator who really couldn't give a feck'.
Tradesmen ? - don't get me started ! Time served forum members excepted of course.

Having the same problem with another delivery company called uk mail. They keep trying to deliver something to me when i am at work even though i have told them several times i am not home until 6pm. Feckin idiots. They don't seem to get the fact that people in this country work.
Back to the point though and aye Kenny, the country is fecked right enough. The laws in place today favour the jakey.

I've told my two sons they should emigrate to Australia which has a booming economy due to mining etc. Even better, Canada or BC so I can visit them for long fishing holidays. ;D People are now saying it could take 10-20 years to get our economy back to growth, and god knows how long if the Euro and Spanish banks fail.
