I reckon this thread has gone off topic just slightly...
But, just for the record... these eastern European workers some folk are talking about are not afraid of hard work, not like us British. |

I work 7 days a week and 52 weeks a year and can only dream of minimum wage. Check the time of my post, I'm still at it.
In fact even as much as those on JSA would be nice. And to think that my pay has just gone up to £62.70 a week. As for ECP, only ever had one probelm locally, but like CP4L with the delivery. Funny how there is always an offer on, ECP have -25%, CP4L have -12% while GSF have a massive -40 to -50% off. Turns out they're all about the same. On a lighter note, A man walks into his local motor factor and says, 'I need a starter motor for my car.' Factor: 'yeah, we have them in stock, £100 each.' Customer: 'The guy down the road only charges £50.' Factor: 'Go and buy one of his then.' Customer: 'He's out of stock.' Factor: 'Well come back when we're out of stock and they'll be £50 then.'

Interesting post,just read a report regarding the effect of automation in the workforce in Australia to 2025. Report states there will be a loss of 7.5 million jobs between now the then with new technologies only putting back 3.5 million jobs.Goes without saying online and a range of other tech changes will reduce it even more
So with this in mind,who is going to feed the reducing tax take and pay the taxes to keep roads ,hospitals etc going!!! Looks like the people still working are the bunnies. Only problem is, the businesses the are just remaining then get more pressure applied and fold up and so on . I'm reminded of a story I heard about the head of Ford in the US was having work force issues so they automated part of the plant. He was walking through the plant with the union boss and said "try signing these guys up to the union!" Union guy replied "try selling one of your cars to one of these guys "!! Therein lies the problem,no jobs,no money,no economy!! |

My Father once said to me there are only 4 jobs that the people in them will never be out of work.
Midwife Undertaker Solicitor Accountant Maybe it is time I started looking to retrain, not sure I fancy any on that list though. |
