Its an outrage!

[gary baldy]

Today i travelled into town. I parked my car in a car park whilst i went shopping. To my horror when i tried to leave the car park i was shocked to find that the cheeky beggars wanted me to pay for the priviledge. You can imagine how disgusted i was! To make matters worse on the way home i filled my car with petrol. Once again to my dismay the owners of the petrol station wanted me to actually pay for the petrol. What a rip off! Just when i thought it couldnt get any worse i was walking out of tesco with a full shopping trolley and i was accosted by security because apparently you have to pay for things in Tesco aswell. Ridiculous! I blame Gordon Brown!

And what is your question?

[littleoldme]

It's Political Correctness gone mad. Hanging's too good for them. It was never like this before they closed all the sub-post offices. We're all going to Hell in a handcart, I tell you. Bring back National Service. Bring back the birch. Bring back The Clangers. What these people need is a damned good thrashing - that's the only language they understand. As I was saying to Marjorie just the other day...

I blame Decimalization, one minute there were 240 pennies in a pound and the next there were 100. Who got all the missing 140 pennies????? It was some young lad called Bill Gates and is it any co-incidence that he is the richest man in the world? I think not!!!!!!!!!!

[Drisgirl]

That is a bluddy disgrace.Now listen to someone who knows.

1-Write to your local evening paper and blame the council

2-Make use of the local phone-ins on your local radio station to make people aware of this.

3-Just phone your local councillor - or even better just go to the local nearest to where he lives.

4-If all else fails get in touch with the Sun - but make sure you hav something salacious to add - it doesnt have to be true but even if you said something like the girl in Tescos had her wares out and was licking her lips as she sensously served you then you are in the papers.

Good Luck and let us know how you get on x

This is all just a hangover from Thatcher's Britain. I remember going to the pictures, having twelve meat pies, a bottle of stout, and having enough change from tuppence to buy the weekly shop, a small semi in Bristol, and a map of Uruguay.

AND we walked to school barefoot, 28 miles in the snow....

[johnlambert]

you were lucky Whickerman, I used to dream of walking 28 miles to school,

there were 109 of us living in a cardboard box in the middle of the M1, we got a handfull of cold gravel before being whipped to death by our parents. Then we had to work for 26 hours a day down coal pit, then if we were lucky we went to bed 1/2 an hour before we got up.

[Whickerman]

...Gravel???? Luxury!

[johnlambert]

Aye, cold gravel once every 8 years on our birthdays, if we were good

[Oneeyedvic]

we called the people who had cold gravel 'posh'

[johnlambert]

Did i say gravel? I meant bird droppings and sweat

we used to dream of eating gravel, it were a treat

[Loosehead]

Luxury...., we'd get up 2 hours before went to bed, Lick road clean with us tongues, work a 28 hour day, daan pit, get ome, and Dad would beat us to sleep. Tell the kids today they'll not believe ya!

[gary baldy]

Anyway i was so outraged i rang 999 as soon as i got home! Apparently they were 'too busy' to deal with my complaint. Whats happening to this country?
Bird droppings and sweat?
We had cat sick for dinner - if we were lucky!
Back in my day you didnt have to pay for owt! My grandad didnt fight in the second world war so that i had to pay for parking and pay for watching the telly. He will be spinning in his grave to know i have to pay for my phone calls aswell!
I blame Harold Wilson .....or perhaps Ken Livingstone..... i blame somebody thats for sure!

[johnlambert]

Cat sick?

We only got that at christmas if we were lucky!!!

If my grandad was alive today he'd be spinning in his grave. If you tell kids how lucky they are today, they wont belive you

[gary baldy]

At least my grandad (god rest his soul) got a grave. The PC Brigade have closed down all the cemeteries round here because they were offensive to minorites. Now you have to dump your relatives on the council tip - and they charge you �2.50 for doing it!
Its the old people i feel sorry for.
I blame Charles Kennedy myself.....or the unions......or the parents.

[Oneeyedvic]

At least you can dump your bodies - we can't dump bodies on our tip cos of the EU - and now there has been a spate of fly tipping bodies all over the place.

Why oh why can't the council do something about it.

[gary baldy]

Dont bother with the council! They are too busy banning nursey rhymes. Out our local tip/ graveyard you have to fight for space because people are now dumping their dead baa baa black sheeps there now.
I blame the French....or the farmers.....or French farmers!

[brionon]

I haven't laughed so much for ages. Thanks you crazy *******.

[jno]

all the same... people who have to pay to park their cars while shopping may decide they'd sooner go to that shopping mall out of town where the parking's free. Sometimes the authorities seem reluctant to come to terms with how people actually travel these days, and why. Purely commercial enterprises, such as malls, have to be more alert. And public service enterprises - hospitals, say - can find themselves in a bit of a bind.

[Kenzie]

I'm laughing so much I almost had a wee accident there - you lot should be on't telly.
