catfan 14,793 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Just been watching a minor repair on the road outside our house. Two 7.5 tonne wagons & 5 council operatives to do the job ! Well, one bloke was working & four were watching ! Council Tax rise in April ? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 What's new though? Sounds like a pothole being filled in, that'll last about week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 As I work for an agency, I get sent to one or two local authority locations. Absolutely no need. Frustratingly I usually have to join the standing around brigade. If I ask if there is anything meaningful to do I just get told off and told not to rock the boat. So that means that workers on the so called living wage are having an easy time while elsewhere, private sector employers doing the same job are working twice as hard for less money and no decent pension. If my firm had to pay that kind of money they would end up in receivership. Easy when you can increase the council tax. Talk about divided Britain. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TBI 2,351 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Didn't think it could be much of a job, with so few blokes! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
