yes funny old world, it happens down here as well. The government and the punters wished it didn't but it does.
If humans we not so emotional we could chuck them on the heap and suggest if they are not interested in helping themselves, we are not interested in you. But what to do with a 5yo brat destined for crime to survive, let alone his 4 siblings, mother and father. I know Medical research springs to mind? Maybe just out into a field and pop them, be more useful as fertaliser.

My wife is a mid wife, they had a 22Yo in for her second last week. Staff found the 22Yo's mum trying to shoot her up with heroine before the delivery so she could cope. Honestly, what is going on in their heads. The whole family is , and destined to be . And as usual no father to be seen anywhere. Old enough to root, have an addiction, ruin kids lives, perhaps old enough to expire or leave the kids fend for themselves while mum passes out for a day or two. More fertiliser.

Well, we saw you coming sir....



Every time i hear someone say shabby chic I think of this sketch. And then I add a fifty to what I'm asking

£46 for an indicator flasher relay. FFS.

We have to remember that Land Rover take delivery of the relay from the supplier, then take it out of a box of hundreds, then carefully put it in either a nice little printed box or bag, then seal it, then print out a little label to stick on the box or bag, then log it into logistics, finally placing the relay very carefully on a shelf.

Then when the order comes in for one carefully take it off the shelf again, place a destination code on it, then again log into logistics, then send it to the delivery dept. who carefully carry it to a waiting van who drives very steadily to the dealership, where the driver carefully carries it from his van and waits for half an hour while someone signs for it.

The package then has to be logged into the dealerships parts list, then again carefully placed onto a shelf in the parts dept.

Then when someone wants one it has to be found, usually a half hour job as the part is never where it should be, then an invoice for stock rotation has to be generated, before with a smile handing it over to the customer. Now all that for £46.00 a bargain if you ask me.
