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.

    • Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ? 
    • Sadly, a lot of businesses didn't invite reviews on the EDF at that time due to a number of "negative nellies" that would take delight in posting unfavourable comments, often despite never being to the business in question.  No matter how good the place was, some posters would find fault that wasn't there "don't lile the colour of the bidet set in the private bathroom, avocado 😅" Can hardly blame businesses at the time for not wanting reviews on here, thankfully that has mostly changed now.   
    • Was that the Hare Krishna place? I can't remember exactly where it was (or maybe still is) but it was somewhere around Oxford Street.
    • The "for sale" section on this forum lets people offer things for free or cheaply. And the "wanted" section let's people ask for things they want or need, for free or cheaply. There are also existing schemes like Freecycle, and also local  food banks. And there is (or was) a local scheme where you can bring things to be repaired free. I think it is/was based in Nunhead. Isn't that simpler than having a barter system? You might have something to give away, but the person who wants it might not have anything you want. Or have I misunderstood how it works? I can see that offering services free might not fit into existing schemes, but depending on what they were, what would happen if things went horribly wrong eg someone wrecked your house? Sorry if the above sounds very negative.
