There’s a lot of needless rowing going on here. We’re all in the timber game, like it or not, and we pretty much all sing from the same hymn sheet.   J has touched a nerve with me about

My wife is a social worker and she has 30 cases when she should only have 12. She works in child services as well. Its easy to blame social workers but they are short staffed and underfunded.

Although I think there are going to be a lot of disappointed people. :)

 

 

Do you think these are "actual" UFO's as we know them or something up there that Russia, or China have sent up?

I think it's more likely to be russia, China or just another usa department rather than little green men.

 

I believe that there is alien life out there but I think Arthur C Clarke said it right when he said "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" 

 

Although I don't discount that they could just be pissing about and having a laugh. :)If they have the tech to travel to earth then they Shirley have the tech to do it without being seen.

 

Imagine the issues that would arise when/if we are contacted by alien life, I can understand why it would be kept a secret, if that's possible.

 

Who knows.

Only because the government is paying U.K. based citizens 80% of their wages in furlough. One has to give. Either allow controlled (heavily controlled) migration from European, which can be ended quickly and not have to fund their children back in Eastern Europe indefinitely after or quit the charade that is furlough and get the dossers back to work.

I know. Being a Remainer I have boycotted Dyson products but I cannot boycott Rosies 8% cider at a couple of quid a pint. Had a few of those at the Spoons in Broad Street Birmingham a few years back. Deceptively strong and very drinkable

Made our bed, now we have to lie in it. And what's furlough got to do with it? He can take his staff off furlough. He can't get staff because us Brits don't want to work in pubs.

Not when there is 80% of wages handed out. 
 

There is literally millions of Europe’s who have gained the right to stay in the U.K. They might enjoy working in a Pub, but I expect they like free cash even more. 
 

Round my way, pre-Covid the vast majority of Pub/Restaurant workers where British students. I suspect it’s no different now.
