Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

rubbish sticky ...... it may not yet have reached hull and Hartlepool (is that still Yorkshire?), but certainly h'gate is pulling out of the doldrums .... and of course my son has already saved one worsted mill by buying a new suit!

Good of him to buy British, I usually buy Italian. Let the mills close and buy cloth from the far East. Pretty soon the new Asia will be Africa. China is investing heavily there.

China is mainly investing in oil & mining in Africa , not manufacturing

cynic

i'm afraid i see no natural let alone charismatic leader anywhere

Your forgeting Boris

ah, good old boris ..... a great character and assuredly far from being the fool he likes to portray, but therein lies the problem for him as a potential leader ...... lacks gravitas eh what old chap

Chris a chap called Mcartney Tory.

Dont rate him......... that bookies has been given planning permision by Kirklees Council but I cant see it going ahead too many snobs here protesting against it.

Dont forget this is "last of the summer wine country" and a lot of incomers hate the tourists who come around off coaches.

Even though the the sit com has stopped its full everyday of a 7 day week with holiday makers from all over the world.

Twice Ive had coach loads come up to my house door (japanese) thinking it was some kind of museum.

Bloody nusiance.

Property prices here are sky high because of the tourist factor.

Strange situation though at local councils because of the boundarys.

hays - british mills still make some of the finest worsteds and similar, alongside the Italians ..... i'm delighted that his tailor favours locals mills, and not just for the country (county) tweeds

so the locals hate tourists do they? ..... sort of understandable, but they sure as hell don't hate the pennies the spend in the local economy

Cyners, not rubbish recovery hasnt taken place here in this neck of the woods. all you have to do is buy the local papers on a wednesday when its jobs day in the papers and instead of 7 pages 2007 just half a page now with crap part time jobs advertised.

Cyners funny lot up here, really snobish.

A lot detest the tourists but I dont.

I even met my other half when she was on a coach trip up here.

Right lads im off to the con club for a pint and more pints, see ya laters

Hays,

The wrappings may cost more, but they don't add to the value of the individual, but often act as camouflage until they wear out.

"Right lads im off to the con club for a pint and more pints, see ya laters" The "Con" Club? You can't be serious G/F... I demand your resignation!

Stan it's a club for people who are being conned by the Labour party, perhaps you and Fred should join. Ha! Ha!
2517

Must be a big club then.

Me conned? I think not old fruit... Now someone get G/F out of there -):

Stan,

I feel a little sorry for GF drinking with a bunch of barrow boys.

But I suppose somebody has so the missionary work.


=========================


See Cameron is jumping on the witch hunt wagon.

As somebody said last night he is vile little man, fit for UKIP and BNP.


But I suppose he could be a suitable card carrying member of those illustrious "parties".

Cameron is only doing what the French and Germans have done. It is about time we were tougher on allowing unrestricted immigration. We have the Labour party to thank for the immigration mess we now have.

Hays.

Do you blame your Mummy and Daddy for your problems?


When will this bunch of etonian old boys going to stop blaming others for their own inadequacies? Haven't noted they are losing donors.

Manuel and you will be expected to dig deeper into your pockets to bail them out.

(See, if you can arrange a little bit of tax relief for doing so.)

Much of the public groan when Cameron appears on TV. or they hear the mantra "It is all down to the previous government" and helping "hard people", when members of cabinet are floating off for the winter breaks to tart up the sun tans.

===========

Actually, it is not attempting to resolving some of the problems with immigration which is wrong, but the glee in which some of the methods and actions which are proposed.

Again not thought out policies, but proposed on the spur of the moment for headline chasing.

Spurred on to satisfy the "barmy army" of little "englanders" and their ilk.
