Jimmy Saville was knighted. That tells you all that you need to know about the system.

I won’t be kicking any form of nest, ant or hornet.

I'm painfully aware of the "old git" mentality and admit I'm guilty. To a degree, our / my generation are guilty of breeding today's must have it all now culture. Parents showing their children with excessive gifts and endless amounts of money has taught them nothing about value and the pleasure...

Whilst I agree with much of the content of this post, I don't think that everything can be laid at the door of the government, and in fairness I don't think you were trying to say that. There is an area of a town near to where I live which consists, in the main, of social housing. Many of the...

Met Police is Failing to Protect Children (The Times) Totally Clueless. Cops fail to ID suspects in 50% of cases (The Sun) Our Vanishing Beat Bobbies. 44% haven’t seen a beat Bobbie for over 12 months. (The Daily Fail) Heath Enquiry Officer to Retire on Full Pension (The Telegraph) All from...

If an employer looks after an employees welfare, the benefits to the employer are repaid many times over. This principle seems to have been totally lost for some reason. A loyal, dedicated and trustworthy employee is so valuable to a business, but screwing them creares resentment which in turn...

I would buy on-line with that price differential. With many items, the margins aren’t so great. Recently I bought a new pair of running shoes. In the shop I received advice, tried the shoes on and ran for 15 minutes on a treadmill. They cost me £115, but I could have purchased them for £95...

Absolutely. I don’t buy from these companies. The high street is in real trouble too, people use shops like showrooms to browse, touch and try on goods. They then sod off and source the product for a few quid less online.

It's Christmas Day. Take the day off. Remoaning on this thread is like working in an Amazon warehouse, it’s a zero hours contract with no overtime and you are on a hiding to nothing. All the best to you.

Could be an in-house leak by Alexa? She might have been shagging Siri and got caught. A woman scorned and all that.

You need to ask yourself one simple question: Does Brexit offer the UK a bright future filled with goodness and prosperity, or are we being led by a bunch of wanchors who have no foresight and who make up Pro-Brexit sound-bites on the hoof? The evidence should be abundantly clear. Now, can we...

Oh dear. Now what is going to happen? Perhaps one of those lines could be drawn under the issue?

This is just a bit of good natured sexual assault. The perpetrators never intended for it to be exposed, and now the evil people who were subjected to the unwanted sexual advances have ruined the fun. They were expected to remain silent and to be mindful of the fact that their word would not...

I suspect that oldgroaner has been scouring the internet for the following link. Your search is over, fill yer boots and Merry Christmas...

Maybe people have realised that the 32” Bluapunkt flat screen telly on sale in their local Tesco isn’t such a bargain.

But it’s all the fault of the police for bringing the lies to the attention of the public. Green is just a victim. I feel a “modernisation of policing” coming on.

That has remarkable similarities to my financial life plan, but I have always bought a high quality car of about a year old and run it for 10 years, hence I’ve not had as many as you. I have always viewed the vast sums people spend servicing debts as wasted money. It must run into tens of...

I remember using a Colchester lathe as an apprentice a long time ago. For some reason, I made no connection with the town of Colchester, but now it seems obvious. As I remember, they were good lathes, but like everything else, I suspect the company suffered from a lack of investment to develop...

I agree with you. We had a great deal of industrial talent and were able to invent and manufacture great things. Unfortunately, those talented people were looked down on, ridiculed, undervalued and not given the professional respect that they deserve. Now nobody wants to do those jobs, wanting...

The problem is that people have been convinced that the best things in life require expenditure. Convinced that they can't be happy unless they own the latest Audi or unless they move from a three bed semi into a 4 bed detached. This has been a deliberate ploy to trap people into debt. Once...
