You forgot the no redundancies requirement and insistence to reinstate two employees rightfully suspended ;-)

I think they should get on their collective bike and find alternative employment. Workers rights, what are they thinking of? They'll be wanting time off to die next.

Quite right chick!


Various friends had Fathers who were Printers in Fleet Street and they said it was like a "Holiday Camp" until she ruined at allby forcing only 3 Men to do the work of one Man, it used to be SIX Men b4 she interfered.


Same on The Docks the old Dockers made a good living theiving off their Employers and everybody knew the game. In she came again and reformed The Docks and as for The GLC, under Ken Livingstone, she abolished it, as no-one seemed to do any work, at any time.


She was a ruddy nuisance and she "backed Britain" at every opportunity which upset some of The Liberal locals, I can tell yer...

If Mott The Hoople, The Stones,The Beatles, Bob Dylan or The Faces don't have anything to say on a subject then it's scarcely worth commenting upon.

Although this is Rod Stewart solo. Still, ne'er mind eh.


Wake up Maggie I think I got something to say to you

Its late september and I really should be back at school

I know I keep you amused but I feel Im being used

Oh Maggie I couldnt have tried any more

You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone

You stole my heart and thats what really hurt


The morning sun when its in your face really shows your age

But that dont worry me none in my eyes youre everything

I laughed at all of your jokes my love you didnt need to coax

Oh, Maggie I couldnt have tried any more

You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone

You stole my soul and thats a pain I can do without


All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand

But you turned into a lover and

Mother what a lover, you wore me out

All you did was wreck my bed

And in the morning kick me in the head

Oh Maggie I couldnt have tried anymore

You lured me away from home cause you didnt want to be alone

You stole my heart I couldnt leave you if I tried


I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school

Or steal my daddys cue and make a living out of playing pool

Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin hand

Oh Maggie I wish Id never seen your face

You made a first-class fool out of me

But Im as blind as a fool can be

You stole my heart but I love you anyway


Maggie I wish Id never seen your face

Ill get on back home one of these days

Would be a bit of a dinosaur today, but effective in her day.


Cameron, who we will undoubtedly get next is just Blair lite

Backed Britain all the way she did. Did us proud during the Westland affair!


Great days they were; rolling back the human rights of millions of trade unionists - the right to strike, solidarity strikes - destruction of all those mining communities, beefing up the salaries of the police and the army, intensification of the war in the six counties ( leading to greater mainland bombing campaigns by the Republicans against us! ), destruction of the collective, co-operative spirit that had held since before WWII - "They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families." Oh, and of course who can forget the great success of the Poll Tax?


Social unrest,mass unemployment (deliberately engineered); halcyon days, what a legacy, what a Lady....

Are you sure, Santerme? Aesthically unpleasing as a leader of the country. A chubby faced smugster who if he's suddenely catapulted into no 10 will start quoting the Clash's 'Clampdown' "What are we gonna do now..?". Which of course was a quote from Spike Milligan's Q8.

Gordon Brown is the most grumpy-faced f**kster on the planet, and is only worthy of sidekick status.

Nick Clegg? Nick leg? Nickle eg? I've forgotten which party he fronts up. The Vanilla Marginals?


So I suppose it's spoiled ballot paper next time. Or Green for a laugh.

    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
    • Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
    • Pity you didn't quote what you are referring to, Mal. I didn't see the previous post, and my mind is boggling 😮
    • The Cherry Tree was absolutely excellent for a while when a youngish couple ran it and brought in a really good chef. It was them who renamed it The Cherry Tree. They were really turning it around. The chef did fantastic Scotch eggs, and one of the best roasts I've ever had. If memory serves the then owner,  for some reason known only to himself, took a dislike to them and what they were doing and sacked them all. And yes we weren't expecting a top class  meal last Christmas, and we left it too late to book anywhere else, but we weren't expecting it for a hundred pounds EACH to be quite as terrible as it was. Stupid us. Not sure why you are confused by my post, Jazzer? Did I misremember? Now it's got even more confusing because my posts have been merged and your confused emoji is shown at the bottom of the second one instead of the first 🤣
