  1. Going back to your, with a trade, how many good tradesmen are on £25k?
  2. Really, I’ve been in a manual job all my life, I’ve paid into company and private pension's. Simon from Stoke.
  3. That doesn’t answer the question, if people are pulling out of the job market in their mid fifties who’s going to do the work required?
  4. Listening to the wireless just now, the topic is, people in their 50’s leaving work behind. I bumped into a fella I used to go to school with at the local remembrance parade on Sunday, his plan is to finish at 55 when his pension kicks in, mine also kicks in in 3 years time, and I’ll probably slowdown when it does. If we all pack in, or slowdown at 55 what will be the end result?
  5. £40-45k/year-but you won’t be getting £45k.
  6. My Dear Wife, You will surely understand that I have certain needs that you, being 57 years old, can no longer satisfy. I am very happy with you and I value you as a good wife. Therefore, after reading this letter, I hope that you will not wrongly interpret the fact that I will be spending the evening with my 18 year old secretary at the Comfort Inn Hotel. Please don't be upset----I shall be home before midnight. When the man came home late that night, he found the following letter on the dining room table: My Dear Husband, I received your letter and thank you for your honesty about my being 57 years old. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that you are also 57 years old. As you know, I am a math teacher at our local college. I would like to inform you that while you read this, I will be at the Hotel Fiesta with Michael, one of my students, who is also the assistant tennis coach. He is young, virile, and like your secretary, is 18 years old. As a successful businessman who has an excellent knowledge of math, you will understand that we are in the same situation, although with one small difference - 18 goes into 57 a lot more times than 57 goes into 18. Therefore, I will not be home until sometime tomorrow..
  7. I was teasing you, I knew what you meant.
  8. You should steer clear of vole jobs, unless you’re a pest controller.
  9. Took me a moment.
  10. Nah, he was fine in my eyes, mum didn’t suffer fools gladly though. I’ve not seen hide nor hair of him since he made the big time… Shocking, hey.
  11. It went over my head, for a change…
  12. Most have, but not consistently.
  13. Is that the same Rob Williams who I grew up with in Tunstall, the one my old girl used to turn out on his ear when she’d heard enough of him?
  14. Why, thank you. I’m sure they are out there, but I don’t know them.
  15. I was talking about this with a very educated chap who comes off good stock, neither of us have ever known anyone that earns £600+/hour. Legally.
  16. The question should be, why aren’t they doing anything about it. Oh, hang on.
  17. Done me well over the years, each will do their own through.
  18. Brilliant, ain’t it!, should I spend my time on a forum, or nick another £160k. Decisions, decisions.
  19. Company, what do you mean!?
  20. The Pakistani (origin) own them, I may be mistaken but I thought we have our own border control In France.
  21. Yep, they are having it away. Guess who owns these so called hotels around this part of Staffordshire? I’m still not sure how we just turn them round without breaking Maritime law though.
  22. It’s a fair point, and living in Kent you will see it more than most. There is one of these ‘hotels’ in S-o-T, ya wouldn’t put a dog in it.
