Do you have to be a Union member to comment on Unions
Do you have to be a member of a political party to comment on their policies

I do remember the inconvenience of missing at episode or 2 of ''family at war'' during the power cut era. ...mother had to get out grans paraffin stove. ..We'd then be treated by dad on the history of that stove. ....it was a time we came together as a family. ..just like the Walton's
Life was a bit simpler back then. All parents had to worry about was putting food on the table.

1st December 2013 #45les or Graham have you ever been a union member
Eventually 20 years ago decided to work for myself with no capital hardly and became taxi driver, self employed and realised if i wanted things in life i had to do it myself, worked many Sat nights while my mates were enjoying themselves.
enables me to live half decent lifestyle though, but if i want anything, any treat I go out there work extra hours and earn it

I know Arthur I was just getting up Joe's nose It's what I do
You are right about the moral sense...it was unthinkable for normal folks back then to be married and divorced multiple times with all the emotional upheaval what comes with it.
Like I said, my parents had it easy...when times were tough they knew they had each other, no matter what. It's something I took for granted later in my life..........women (the ones I've come across of late) aren't made like that any more

I think you will find that those same scroungers were getting their benefits under the Tory government also
I am no great Labour supporter either I dislike both these 2 main parties
I notice that none of you pro Tory lot seem to want to defend our high fuel costs now, a situation totally down to your beloved Thatcher
"not having a leg to stand on" springs to mind............

Think you will find that many, many people who are 'struggling' still manage to power up their 40 plasma to watch x-factor
As the decades go by Fuel will be a luxury item as it is running out, one day it will outstrip Gold in terms of value.

les, thatcher played her part in creating the kyle culture with record levels of unemployment, no hope for most school leavers, your old enough to remember the early 80's with 10,000s of people a week losing their jobs, remember Trev McDonald closing the news with the daily and weekly job losses
yes the good old days of thatcher

Ah, thread still going strong eh ?
I'm just catching up after ministering freebies to the poor and the idle again today.
Back to back private rented terraced houses...washing hanging across the street.
One family's only source of heating was the gas cooker. Encountered many heavy smokers, Bull terriors, shellsuits, security grills on windows and front doors, and sticky floors.
As Bernard Manning said about the 'ethnic' restaurant next door to him...
"Well, at least it keeps the flies out of my house".

I was working one side of the street, while the debt collector was working the other side.
