@gaychristian, I don't need to be duped by anyone, I can make my own mind up.
More like shame on the strikers. At least they have a job.
Many of the civil service jobs are overstaffed. For example, there are always plenty of staff in the job centre standing round gossiping and doing no work.
Very true. If these strikers are so miserable in their jobs, they should leave and let people who actually want to work have their jobs. A lot of those public sector jobs are overstaffed.
@ 8 billion - At least they are getting wages.
It really is time to end this segregated education system, which is out dated a long time ago. It would also save money if the schools were mixed. When children leave school and go to the tech or university - those places are not segregated. In this day and age, people should be able to get on with each other without having to go to seperate schools. If the schools were mixed, then children from all sides would get to know each other better. I'm sure there are no other countries which have such a silly system in place.
Of course BT wants them to sign a new contract for another 12 months, then they will be left stuck with BT for another year. Who would want to stay with a company who messed their customer about so much?The next modem that BT wants to supply could be just as bad. What solution will BT offer then? I would say that by being unable to fix the problem, BT must have broken their own contract by leaving this couple without a service for so long. The couple have been more than reasonable by ringing the call centre many times and BT haven't been able to fix the problem, even after sending 5 engineers. Surely if the modem was faulty, the first engineer would have spotted that. BT should allow the couple to leave (if they want) without charging them any penalty fee, as BT are the ones who have messed up.
What about all the drivers who have bald tyres on their cars? Plenty of those about.
What a disgusting waste of money! So much for the recession and cutbacks. Instead of cutting back on spending, they are throwing the money round them as hard as they can. What a shocking decision someone made!
