LATEST MOAN FROM YOU AND ME - 2022

They, and the labour party, keep wanting the government to get involved directly with negotiations, only because they want more tax payers money.
I don't know the details but they are also against any change to working practices, I think it's still being run like it was in the 70s.

 

I'd rather have a 5% rise of what a railway worker gets than 10%of my pension.

 

They want to try the outside world.
If you go "sick" or even SICK, you dont get paid.

 

In the construction industry unless you were staff, ie. monthly paid you never got paid for sick days, you had to have 3 days off before getting SSP which was about £70 a week.
I know most are now self employed but I never was, some still arn't, and never got paid for time off sick unless it was longer than 3 days.

 

Bonfires!!!!! .

Went out at 8:30 to hang the first of two laundry loads on the line. The washing was purposely done today as we have brilliant sunny drying weather.

While hanging it out I saw tiny white bits floating everywhere...at first I thought it was sleeting...but then large black bits came by too! Suddenly I heard crackling ,peeking over the back hedge I saw ,over the far side of the allotment , a huge...really huge bonfire burning away with flames everywhere. The worse bit was there was another huge stack ( the size of the burning fire) waiting in the wings with more additional stuff to chuck on...boy was it smokey too, drifting over our garden..and at 1pm it still is.
Washing is still waiting to go out to dry, but not today now. We're also going out soon so I wouldn't have left it out now anyway.

How I detest bonfires, we can even smell it in our house now too!

 

Panic buying in Morrisons.....

 

@Upsydaisy we are not allowed open bonfires without a special permit for each one. And those are pretty much never granted unless you are nowhere near housing. I do burn wood in my wood oven but I carefully control the air supply and venting so as to minimize any smoke. I never use the oven in the winter as I've already baked all the soil to be reused.

We are not allowed to burn piles of leaves either but I must admit, as a kid, I liked the smell of maple leaves being burned.
