I remember the last boom when permies flooded onto the market - the trouble was they bought their 'permie' mentality with them and suddenly I had to deal with permies & contractors with 'attitudes'

I am getting seriously senile in my dotage. I could remember the tune, but I couldn't remember where it came from so I had to look it up

Hey permie, thinking of becoming a contractor?
You'll know its true if like me you found yourself singing 'Do you hear the people sing' leading up to the last days of permiedom, and 1, 2, 3...
Do you hear the permies sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a permie
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!Tags: None
