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.

Tax credits from what I understand (probably little) are simply a way of keeping costs down for the big-ish employers.

They can call on a large ready made workforce, without the burden of actually committing to the underlying costs.

ie:

The supermarkets rely on flexi staff, without having to guarantee anything. There are instances of people being told to be available, without any idea of whether they will be employed that day or not, or for how long...sometimes having to turn up to the place of work hoping for the best.


imo, you would be better off being a mrs mop. people are willing to employ peeps to clean their houses, so many hours a week, every week for x number of quids. You see the ad's all over the place.

With this arrangement, both sides of the deal have to keep to the contract, or it falls apart.


I know which way I would choose if presented with no alternative.

Very strange things going on in Polish elections. The eurosceptic, pro NATO, anti Russia Conservative party may win. They are also anti austerity.

Eurosceptic party wins Poland's election

Poland tossed out the centrist party that had governed for eight years for a socially conservative and Right-wing party that wants to keep migrants out and spend more on Poland's own poor

Poland’s eurosceptic opposition is on course to triumph in the country’s general election after exit polls gave it a resounding victory over the incumbent centre-right government.


Figures released after polls closed late Sunday night put Law and Justice on 39 per cent while Civic Platform, the party of Ewa Kopacz, the Polish prime minister, scored 23 per cent.


If the result stands it will give Law and Justice a precious, but slim, majority of two in Poland’s 460-seat lower house of parliament.


The other winner on Sunday was Kukiz, an anti-establishment party led by Pawel Kukiz, a former punk rocker, which the polls put in third with 9 per cent of the vote.

If you were born in 1947, how come your dad died fighting for the Poles Tanker? Just asking..

grand father .

IT - he could have done ..... i was born in 1946 and my father served in the merchant navy during the war (he was born in 1914) ....... both grandfathers were born around 1900 so were both too old to serve in WW2

What happened ,did he pop back on leave cynic !!

my mother says he was at home on leave - but i'm not sure about whom she was talking :-)

Lets hope it wasn't an American you could be president !
