It's a bit like many of my generation going to France in the summer to work in the vineyards. Or some people these days going to work in Spanish bars.

The benefits culture has been around a lot, lot longer than since 1997.

So you don't think agricultural labourers are key to our food economy? Jeez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plenty of NHS dentists in sleepy Oxfordshire too. Doctors - GPs that is - get paid more for actually doing less themselves. They use (some of) the extra money to pay Out of Hours providers. Crime statistics show a fall.

Have you got a link for that? All I could find was this http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/milton_keynes_dons/8624903.stm and a rumour that he was being called to a meeting to discuss finances.

Oh I thought for a minute you were going to say you had a few screws loose. Here's a well-known company that specialises in 'replacement' windows for listed buildings. http://www.theheritagewindowcompany.co.uk/theheritagewindow_brochure.pdf Be warned though, if it's listed, you might not be able to install double glazing or PVC windows!

I worked in one of the grottos when I was a Saturday girl there. I was an elf handing presents to Santa for all the children. It was fun to give him a boy's present for a girl and vice versa I also remember working on the huge fireworks department and on the cigarette counter :shock: On one occasion there I was being chatted up by some Russian sailors and, as I was studying Russian in the 6th form, I called one of them 'grandfather' in Russian (дед) or roughly, dedushka. He was quite shocked

Mr TF recorded a National Geographic programme on the BA Flight 9 last night - watching it now.

There used to be a pneumatic tube system in the old Edwin Jones store too. But I'm probably the only one on here old enough to remember

Here you go Nick: http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/apr/16/nick-clegg-guardian-icm-poll-pm Read the article right down to the end and you will see how the poll was constructed. Oh and BTW I DO realise that the party with 8% was the Nobody party. Earlier I was reporting on what I was told, not what I'd read.

I haven't made a fuss! In a nutshell, I said I didn't believe in censorship and I do believe in freedom of speech. I also said I wouldn't be comfortable in my own skin if I offended someone (even unwittingly, let alone deliberately). I imagine most reasonable people feel the same. I haven't seen his 'act' - I have seen him on MTW and didn't find him funny.
