Out of interest, what exactly has Southampton council proposed to it's staff as changes to T's&C's & pay due to the budget cuts ?

I have to admit there is a slightly cynical part of me that responds to '"we only want the truth" with "well why not admit you know where she is". As pointed out above, if this was a couple of chavs the Mail, etc, would be ripping them to shreds, but as it's a couple of doctors it is all tears and sympathy. Let them have their grief, but for pity's sake, not 8 ( I think ) pages of today's papers.

I was here first - and Eric did write it

"The Green Fields of France" - Eric Bogle

As my son says : "With Salmond in charge, and Sturgeon as his deputy, there is something fishy going on north of the border".

What a lot of rot. Are you saying that if you do not support either the CONs or Labour your vote should not have any worth ?

Chalk 3 up to the YES tally - myself, Mrs B, and #1 son. They also said we could vote for no more than 3 candidates in the council election - but out of 5 on the list 3 were Tory & 1 UKIP, so I only placed one X, and not for any of these.

Didn't take any PPI when I got my loans, can I still appeal on the basis it would have been mis-sold if I had ?

Shouldn't they then be supporting a more proportional system ?

Blackpool - I get a 'home' game West Ham - AG relegated again - LOL Wolves - they are nowhere near as good as McCarthy thinks they are, and I don''t think they would be promotion contenders in the Championship.

Frank's Cousin - :thumbup: Anybody voting NO gets the system they deserve, and has no right to ever again complain about an election result.

Watched TT3D on Sunday, a documentary about the build up to last year's Isle of Man TT races, generally concentrating on Guy Martin but including Connor Cummins, Ian Hutchinson, and John McGuinness, amongst others. Even for an armchair bike racing fan this is a must see - if only for the last 20 minutes.

Do they still charge a penny ?

If I did you wouldn't get one. We are currently 'co located' with the Primary Care Trust.

Ssssssh, they can't handle the truth.

Everybody that disagrees with dunce is wrong, HTH !

Bit miffed that PNE are down, now need Blackpool to go down to get a 'local' match. ( Can't get more local, I'm currently based at Bloomfield Road ). Just glad to be on the way up again.

AV is not 'truly democratic', nor is it the system I would prefer - that is Single Transferable Vote, which is far more democratic and proportional. However, we are not having a referendum on adopting PR, we are being offered AV as an alternative to FPTP, therefore AV gets my vote as it is better than what we have, but is far from being what I would choose, ( I view it as nothing more than the first step to a properly accountable system ). The controlling faction in the coalition, the Tories, had to offer a referendum on the electoral system as a condition of the LDs joining them, but they have flexed their muscles and forced the LDs to accept a far weaker motion than they would themselves have ever chosen. The LDs were backed into a corner and have found themselves pushing for a system most of their members would never have asked for.
