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.

What you on about Chris????

The 944 was the best handling road car I have ever driven by a long way. When it came out it was borderline supercar. They stopped making it as it was too good value for money and they made little profit on it despite being about £45k in 1989.

My staff were very happy and well looked after. Every one of them had a company car, private medical, flexitime, high salaries, bonuses, expensive training and a say in how the company was run."


Who were you screwing to be able to do that?

Sounds like the Mafioso to me,

I seems you like to be measured and advertise yourself by your accumulated possessions rather than personal wealth.

Manuel,

Were your worried they wouldn't recognise you without your number plate. sort of car old tarts drive.

Minimal wage.

It is circular, the state subsidises the "low paid earner" or the uneconomic "company".

Breaking up of Banks.

Not necessary, increase the regulations and have board meetings, policy making meetings, etc. videoed recorded for further reference and examination by independent overseers.


HSBC are in the UK for its own benefit. The UK is secondary, but does benefit from from having it here.

If they are not happy HSBC then they can "bugger off", but if necessary they can have their assets "restrained".

But, the UK is not the only country "fed" up with the banks and similar organisations.

And before Manuel starts bleating again suggest he does his own homework.

fossy - you are in the UK for your own benefit. The UK barely benefits if at all from having you here.
if you are not happy, then you can "bugger off", as has been suggested previously


But, the UK is not the only country "fed" up with the banks and similar organisations.
specifics please


PS - my car's plates are actually company related, not that it matters much and certainly not that i care one single iota about your opinion or jibes

We had high profile and generous clients such as banks, finance companies in the UK, Holland and Germany. We did some work for one client and he said that we were too cheap at the end of the project and paid us 50% more. It was the 80s and money flowed like the champagne. I used to take the whole company to a wine bar in the City on Friday nights and pay for them to drink champagne all evening.

On an expense account?

I took all the company plus several people from each client out to a Xmas dinner each year. The best one was the Savoy. We ended up so drunk that we were throwing paper planes across the dance floor.

No expense account, I paid personally.

Gosh.

You could have been a real member of the Bullingon Club.

Just the wrong school!

Nice stuff, we always drank Laurent Perrier Rose. We had so much that I had a deal with the owner of the wine bar.

I remember when there was an anarchist riot in the city around cannon street, the traders threw colour photocopies of £50 notes and champagne out of the windows onto the protesters as the police fought them below.

Sounds a great life.

The things I missed out on.

Seems you must have enjoyed yourself.

now there's an oddity ...... fossy gets asks for specifics to support his allegations (post 35559) and for the umpteenth time, it bypasses his brain - or more likely, his allegations are unsupportable

You can do such things before you have kids. A quiet life these days. The 80's were very entertaining though. My wife worked for Murdoch's lawyers. They used to get her to deliver letters to Wapping print works as the strikers would throw tomatoes and worse at the men.
