        Regretfully the plan does not include shooting those responsible for engaging the offshorers
        So they get bobs to deliver rubbish, and you to put it right. Who do you work for.......Fred Karno Inc.??

            Overcast & warmer than yesterday

            Left of Time

            Arrived on Time

            Journey time 35mins 11 secs

            No-name loco

            No wobble

            Man got a full sized bike onto the bendy bus - FFS you're meant to pedal the thing!

            Woman got on with a cat in a trasit box which meowed the whole journey. Obviously knew it was on the way to the vets

            Friday...yippee!

              I bought a laptop last year, in the Zurich free paper this morning they had one 4 GB RAM 500GB memory less than half what I paid last year FFS.

              I think the same thing will happen when I buy a phone.

                We at RC Hedges are not surprised. Mrs RC left her insulated coffee cup on a bench on Neath Station platform and was handed it back when she returned in the evening.

                    You're kidding? Already?

                    The source of the world's highest quality anthracite, in vast quantities, from over a hundred mines - and even the locals are forgetting?

                    Jeez.

                    That's awful!
