    Germans have a back bone stronger than ours.

When you delve a bit deeper, you find all of them had a claim for some pretend injury or illness from being down t'pit. Pure parasites.
      I did a contract a long time ago in Folkestone, when they were building the tunnel, and laying people off at the docks so to replace me they hired formed dock workers and I had to train them. Although they weren't bad I heard a lot of moaning and say plenty sickness. They weren't used to a job where a union wasn't involved and they had to stick up for themselves.
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          Not many haven't, judging by that map.
          And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

              Unless you were a wide mouthed cockney barrow boy working in the city, finding a decent paying job was the pits. Sadly the country was going to the dogs and I didn't want to be a part of it anymore.

                you have the memory of a goldfish, don't you?

                answer my question and stop the BS

                Being educated and running my own business does not make me a hypocrite or a supporter of greed. I was lucky to be born with potential for intelligence. Read your old posts, im only going to justify myself with my history once.

                You listen to nothing anyway.

                  Doesn't everyone, but sadly I'm of the Harold Wilson era...

                    You tell me if you have ever been an It contractor and I will answer your question. And yes I am over 45. I assume that you have at some stage been a contractor and you have made very good money from it. The contractor market took off in the 80s driven by the investment in technology into many of the Nationalised Industries that Thatcher released from shackles of government and Union control. Hitherto these Industries had never needed to modernise because the rest of us paid for their inefficient existence whether we liked it or not - so they did not need to bother to modernise.
                    As a result people like you became very wealthy indeed. What is pretty repulsive is that now you seem to think its rather cool and virtuous to slag off Thatcher who's courage and bravery took the country out of the grip of the Unions and enabled it to become the sixth wealthiest Nation in the world.
                    So that explains why you are a hypocrite.
