    Is that the right to work in this country, or medically allowed, or qualified to work, or just the right side of you to work - apart from having been deemed to have the right to work 20 years ago?

    When I worked and got these requests I used to push back by asking for a booking number. Usually they didn't actually have a budget to cover the time wasted.

          Auto correct. According to it, I'm growing a crop of lavatories. :whistle:

          I can't wait to see what else it decides is going on here!

                      Yep, I cant see things getting any better in the next 10 yrs, none of them have any good ideas or any enthusiasm they just all follow the same old line.

                        Not just here either. Every country seems to have poor politicians and huge polarising division
