    With a criminal record, she wouldn’t get a job at the end of it anyway!

    I bet her dad is really proud of her!!

    A primary school worker has been charged. What sort of example does this set to the children it is responsible for teaching?

    Hopefully that will be the end of his career!

    This will cheer you all up!!! From the “This is Money” website this morning……..

    Taxpayers will be forced to pay a riot damage bill that could reach £200million, it emerged last night.

    The little-known 1886 Riot Damages Act allows insurance companies, individuals and businesses to reclaim their losses from local police authorities, funded by the public.

    Police forces, already axeing thousands of jobs, could have to make even deeper cuts to meet the compensation bill.

    These idiots don’t realise it but they are destroying their own environment!

    Why do we need to put up with this sort of behaviour?

    Sounds good news, and to think that there were regular flights to Alicante, Faro, Palma and Ibiza, amongst others, in the mid sixties! I believe Tangiers was the longest route in those days!

    The opinions of two very good friends of mine I’m afraid. One in Venezuela, and the other in Colombia, both working in those places, one for 2 years, and the other a little longer. Still, what would they know.

    Well according to the “World Curruption Perception Index”, which is based on 3rd party opinion such as what you are putting forward, the UK comes out as 20th whereas Columbia is 78th and Venezuela is 164th, not far ahead of Somalia who are bottom at 178th!

    Obviously your friends know better!

    I remember driving from Southend to Gatwick in a mini-van with a Hermes engine cowling wrapped around the roof!

    I must admit I got some very funny looks!
