In my ideal world there’d be little or no pay differentials with the highest rate of pay going to jobs that nobody wants to do. And nobody should earn more than twice as much as anyone else and the only way to earn more is to work longer hours. Imagine a total reset. We all start out with the understanding that there are no jobs that’ll make you a millionaire simply by choosing a certain trade or profession and instead the choice becomes what you want to do and what you’re capable of doing. Of course we can’t all be football players or F1 drivers, so we just let ability take care of that. Let’s face it, if they weren’t paid multimillion-pound salaries, would we only see crap football players or rubbish drivers? I doubt it! The argument that their careers are short lived would now be meaningless because someone like Lewis Hamilton could earn just as much by driving a bin wagon when he’s past his best. Bill 😊

The current situation in Gaz beggars belief - The Israelis have basically blocked off any supplies to the Palastinians trapped in Gaza, and everyone else is complaining of them being starved to death. The Yanks have dropped supplies by air, and are now constructing a sea port; but sufficient supply trucks are lined up on the Egyptian border to feed them. The US could end this overnight, by just telling the Israelis to allow the trucks in, or have their arms supplies blocked. They try to call Netanyanu an extremist for pursuing a genocide policy in Gaza, but the reality is that over 70% of Israelis agree with the eradication of Hammas and as a consequence, 1.5 million Palastinians. Ironically, what we're seeing is the people who suffered from the Nazi holocaust, now inflicting one on the Arabs.

April sees is celebrating 25 years of Warrington Worldwide online - Where did that time go? It has been quite a journey and I suspect the forum will be 25 years old in another year or two. Big thank you to those of you who are still around and have been part of our journey. Shame social media came along as it certainly impacted the forum - although for finding stuff out from the past this still knocks spots off social media - hence we have kept it going. More about our 25 years in the link below and some congratulations messages from those we have worked with over the years! Celebrating 25 years of Warrington Worldwide and messages of Congratulation

WE reach between 10,000 to 20,000 readers a day on the main site - so the gospel reaches far and wide - sadly few are interested in forums these days Seven active members from what I can see currently

the one time i used self service i ended up with the woman who was there to help hovering around me. five items and before i even scanned one she had to come over to help. it was the i use my own bags bit on the screen, pressed that and put my bag on the side ready and all these alarms started going off. it seems that it does not recognise a rucksack as a bag so spat it's dummy out until she overrode it. oh and they don't like you trying to scan a 32" telly through the self service either as one guy last week found out. i try not to use it as i like to keep the checkout people in a job and also the supermarket people wont give me a discount for doing theirs for them. maybe i am getting more rebellious as i get older....

career politicians now run all the parties, with possibly one or two exceptions. That being the case then the difference between the parties is practically zero as the politicians strive to get as much money as they can in their own pockets. or so it seems to a lot of people i have spoken to lately. Civil servants run the country with the politicians as at best an overseer at worst a figure head for the department, either way they are the ones thrown to the wolves when it goes belly up. the civil servants just carry on doing whatever it is they do without any of the consequences settling on them. The chancellor of the exchequer doesn't sit at home with his calculator working out what to tax or what to fund, he just presents what the civil servants in his department give him. he may have some input but only in a general sense as do probably the majority of politicians in all departments. they are just the 'public' voice for their department. That is possibly the galling thing about politicians, they resign from their job but are still employed as politicians in a different department at the same rate of pay. as the old joke says "how can you tell a politician is lying?" "their lips move".....

indeed I do..... why waste your precious time on earth praying to something that doesn't exist.... and even if he/she does exist, he/she is supposed to be all forgiving anyway so it don't matter!!
