The Labour/Tory roles are more or less reversed now, and so I don't think they'd come back to ridicule Labour.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

Probably more qualified than half the bankers today who have grown up selling fruit from a stall down the market.Comment

I just read Major's wikipedia page there and one thing stood out..
in spring 1990. He publicised it as a budget for savings and announced the Tax-Exempt Special Savings Account (TESSA), arguing that measures were required to address the marked fall in the household savings ratio that had been apparent during the previous financial year.
He obviously was aware that government has a duty to step in to try and influence household budgets. So can we say that if he was still PM we would not be in this debt bubble now?Comment

Big Major fan myself. The guy may have been dull, and had to deal with tulip largely out of his control (ERM fiasco) but he knew what was best for this country.
best PM that has served in my lifetime (since 1979) imo.
Shame conservatives have nobody of his calibre at present.Comment

In fact, I'm beginning to wonder if anyone other than Gordon Brown had been chancellor we'd have been far better off, even another Labour MP. It's as if Brown's every action was intended to sabotage the economy for future generations.
However, John Major semi-f**ked the economy over the ERM.Comment
