But at least they are festivals with a foundation in tradition. Fathers Day is a recent invention.

Get over it grumpy


Happy Fathers Day to all Dads


I'm getting to hang out with my two boys today, and for that I'm grateful for such recent inventions

Well thanks Seabag. Happy father's day to me. But really it is a con. I've never been the recipient of any FD gifts/cards and I don't particularly want them. I have a birthday and there's Christmas. That's plenty to show they care.

      I'm wondering if I can justify a visit due to calories burned walking there and back😜

      Council tax

      By malumbu · Posted

      Before going to Social Media it is always worth checking out the details: Southwark's spending for this year: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/council-tax/how-we-manage-council-tax/our-budget-and-how-we-spend-council-tax/our-income-and As you will see, as with most if not all London Boroughs, shed loads goes on social care and children's services.  The cost of paying for residential care, and for 'specialist schools is massive.  As with other boroughs they have been hit hard by austerity under the coalition government.  And the failure by successive governments to sort out social care.  That is a thread all in its own rights. Local authorities of all political persuasions across England are facing tough times, several have gone into administration: Birmingham, Woking, Thurrock, Croydon, Slough, Northamptonshire, and Nottingham and 11 are on bailouts.   Covid will not have helped.  Some will have made some poor investment decisions in the past eg Thurrock and Woking;  Some total mismanagement and one has been hit by historical debt through not paying their workers fairly (Brum).   Reform promise simple solutions to cutting spending.  Not that easy is it Nige?
