Crisis

so much for giving it a rest.

You really have a problem, yes i would like to know.

As said, stay out out of conversations please, you are a proven trouble maker and do not need your input.

Brexit came along and thousands of eu workers returned to their home countries. Now these same employers are demanding government help because they cannot fill the vacancies left. If young british workers had been trained to do the jobs there would not be a crisis. One of my son's passed the hgv test years ago but no employers would give him a job because of the insurance cost of newly qualified drivers. He was told he needed two years driving experience but it was impossible to gain the experience if he couldn't get a job.

think pos we go back to #1:

Delete the thread by all means, Why am I expected to take continual abuse from a minority and though bite my tongue much, then expected not to reply sometimes. A few need to get a life and see the harm they do. Doc is well aware of your contribution and asked you to butt out. I cannot be the only one that has to hold back, bite my tongue and put up with the crap from a few that always give it large to all not just myself, can they not realise themselves that they do harm to the site and keep nice people from posting.

It really is not rocket science.

K.

No worries, read all, I reply, I do not kick it off.

Doc is aware and has asked all to do this off site.

I would follow this but, it is difficult when a few want to abuse and sadly
do not realise that they are the problem. Go back to any post and see
whom starts all, how I hold back but, will eventually, tell things as they are.

What was that movie with the bunny boiler ?

“Fatal Attraction” Remembered.

There are many, think they are the bees knees and in real time, best not add this bit........

Bad enough a Brief Encounter but, who really needs all the preverbial.

Whatever one replies, certain others will give it large, going to try and attempt
not to respond even more but, some take the piz.

They dont want fuel run cars on the road...the quicker they can get rid of them the quicker they can roll out electric cars.
Nobody is going to buy an electric car if they already have a fuel car and fuel available.

?

As long as my motor is both maintained, insured and legal, get's me from A to B, and the
AA get's me home who cares. LOL.

Biggest prob seems to be: Getting E5 is the problem. Not everyone runs a post 2011 car. E10 is something else that the govt are trying to force upon us that we don`t want.

Well in favour of getting all the old drivers and gas guzzling cars off our roads if more thought is put into the aftermath.

Tax by the mile, treble parking charges, etc etc, may not be my cup of tea exactly but, is coming.

Had my rapped a couple of times for giving my serve.
What is not understood by one is the right to free speech.
That is there for ALL to use in any manner they chose just as long as they do not castigate the other poster. Some thing wrong there with a couple.
But as said if you find the postings o f some distasteful then adjourn from the commentary, appears he is unable to do so.

To get the discussion back on thread. When the banker crisis hit the UK the banks were bailed out with millions of pounds by the government. Then followed 10 years of austerity aimed at the poorest members of society to recoup the money spent.
The present series of crisis's we are now experiencing will impact once again on the people least able to afford rising costs.
Fuel, gas, electricity, food, council tax, rise in national insurance, ending the £20 per week in credit payment and breaking the triple lock on pensions. A promise made by government that it would never do.
I get the impression that certain members would prefer to have this post shut down rather than face reality.
