As said some brave people about.

Some of this mornings reports are quite illuminating, with the comments from people involved.

 

In light of the individual involved and the reason he was in London, I wonder if some of the luvvies calling for prison reform are coming around to a new way of thinking?

A mythical, elusive beast....  ?

A bit of a lighthearted distraction (but with large scale economic, social, environmental and business implications:

 

Morrisons is selling boxes of unsold food for just £3.09 in all supermarkets - Mirror Online

WWW.MIRROR.CO.UK

---

Supermarket chain Morrisons will be the first supermarket in the UK to offer food past its 'best before'...

 

 

Reducing ‘waste’ surely has to be a massive business benefit - reduced costs. 
 

Selling must be better than paying for removal. 
 

The morality of skipping food that has been resource heavy in production / delivery and when people are hungry is just the most bizarre situation. 
 

Im torn between thinking ‘good show’ for making a positive step forward and bewildered that we’ve even reached the point where food goes to land fill.

Ive worked in Doha, the Tunisian and Algerian Sahara. Both very toasty as well. Light weight coveralls where banned too.  So full length regular weight ones where a pain. But it was a dry heat so did not mind it much, Sinapore and working in Australia off of Broom was very humid, as was the Congo and The Ivory Coast. I miss escaping the winters here for these warmer places. 

 

What do you do on the Drill Floor?

I don't work on sites beyond audits and ERP drills, but it makes me sweat seeing the poor buggers grafting!

Ah ok.  I mind you saying now.

Not what we were taught in economics but yes I cannot abide waste.

I've got leanings toward wanting a fairer society but as I've got older I've thought wouldn't it be much simpler if murderers were topped.
