I thought the Israeli-Palestinian thing is because they don?t have enough Marmite.


Anyway, what about Australia for that matter?


It seems that it isn?t the heat but the combination of heat and the Euro. As a currency it was obviously designed for use in economies where the people making financial transactions are not suffering from heat induced laziness and half-cut on olive oil.


The refusal to take sensible, honest consideration of climate induced cultural differences when structuring monetary policy is one of the many things that are wrong with the world today.

Anyone remember when shops used to give families tick,letting them have goods to pay back the following week,

When friday came they paid their bill and had nothing left to get any groceries and the shopkeeper gave them more tick,

never ending circle of debt.

This is how the eurzone is operating now,they will never be able to pay the loans back,austerity measures we all ready had those in the fifties.

I cant remember us having a bail out from euro funds, so why have we got austerity measures,and where was how refund Thatcher and Blair was supposed to have sorted out.

Conservatives will not be in goverment again for decades to come, the most heartless and unfeeling cabinet of men since Hitlers third reicht,hitting the old disabled and poor, because their Euro masters have more clout than them.

coalition Libs are just glove puppets.The real people will not vote for them ever again.

No....nor has anyone else



Meanwhile, LOL at scoffing at the impracticality of early sociologists trying to impose a theorretical map on different societies as they are far too complex for such generalisation but supporting the actual implementation of a single currency to complex and differing societies.


Anyone want to ask me what the Irish I work with feel about the hike in interset rates they had yeasterday to cool the German economy?

      I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience

      Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
