Latest Moan From You and Me 2024

I would put "perlite Carmarthen" in a web-search , but in that case I find nothing....
Amazon (horrid I know) will deliver (or sort with some 3rd party) and leave it where ever you want, the Sinclair stuff I've had is well wrapped against the weather to leave outside...

 

Politics... really! We should hang our heads in shame.
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Teach Your Children - we didn't !!

 

Thank you @DiggersJo There are two local garden centres I want to try this week and if I can't get it there I'll send for it

 

I'd say we get what's on offer.

 

@shiney Depends whether you mean the ones that bothered to vote or the ones that stayed away and didn't exercise their democratic rights - hard-earned by predecessors and not as valued as they should be.

 

Not as easy as it used to be to be a good parent when both have to work to be able to afford a decent standard of living. Bringing up children is a full time job but has never been valued as it should be.
There are many families struggling even with both parents working and if they have a zero hours contract they can always visit the local food bank when their employer wants to save a few quid to boost their profits.
And please I can’t even begin with the incompetence of doctors!

 

Could somebody tell me who you vote for when the candidates that are on the list are just looking after the party and not the people who vote for them.
My MP is fairly well known in Westminster but never seen anywhere near here.

As to the other lot, never heard of them, they don't even bother tell us who they are.

Two party system and first past the post.
Anyone else might as well not bother.

 

Safe seat here, so technically no point voting unless you want the incumbent. Up till now, I have always voted regardless, but I am beginning to feel that doing this just props up a tired old system in need of a total overhaul.

 

@ViewAhead I seem to remember there being huge shock when Michael Portillo was ejected from a safe Tory seat and a certain red wall of safe Labour seats fell to Boris' mob in the last elections.......

 

Well, you never know. Certainly the Lib Dems are getting highly energised round here in the hope of pulling off an upset. But I've not seen anything in their list of promises that even acknowledges the problem of wealth inequality, and till that is firmly and centrally on the agenda, everything else is tinkering round the edges, IMV.

 

I remember the lib dems.

We're definitely not going to put up tuition fees. Oh wait, we didn't win, let's jump into bed with the Tories to tap some power. Oh wait, the Tories don't want us unless we bow to their wishes. Yay let's put up tuition fees, the exact thing we made a massive point of not doing literally days before the election.

 

My problem is, I'm a conservative, but they have made a complete balls up of it all.
Starmer's lot look a bit wimpy.
Lib dems have always been wimpy

And nobody else seems to have anything to say apart from their one issue.

They are all a bunch of clowns, and very expensive ones at that.
