It is about eliminating what you can and then managing what is left. Yes I did say managing. It would have been quite easy for the Council to have managed this situation but when it comes to breathtaking arse covering.. this mob just takes the biscuit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-1161367764168575972006-10-20T19:09:00.000+01:002006-10-20T19:09:00.000+01:00Trouble with this is that the local authority are ...Trouble with this is that the local authority are covering their backs. They know that if an employee gets hurt in the course of duty they will sue. Nobody takes responsibilty for themselves anymore, its always somebody elseĀ“s fault and there is always "free" dosh to be had out of it. Even teachers apparently cannot apply a sticking plaster if a child gets a small cut. They have to call the parents and ask them to come and do it, in case the child is allergic to plaster and the parent will sue!!! I got this from the very mouth of a well brassed off teacher.<BR/>The whole country has gone to the bloody dogs.<BR/>PS. I love this site, I would love to think that someone, somewhere at Westminster reads it and will eventually take notice of how crazy the country has gone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-1161309942338549342006-10-20T03:05:00.000+01:002006-10-20T03:05:00.000+01:00Ken:.."Personally speaking, if I ever become elder...Ken:<BR/><BR/>.."Personally speaking, if I ever become elderly and infirm and feel that I might have to ask Nanny for help I will most definitely be reaching for my revolver!.."<BR/><BR/>You own a revolver?

We couldn't have that.<BR/><BR/>One solution, in line with Nanny's own policies it seems, is that we could declare Nanny a risk and have her banned. If not banned then at least show that the risk is serious enough that support and assistance should be withdrawn as she has become too old and incapable to be looked after any more.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile I think any person, company or organisation taking money from the taxpayer but finding ways to avoid providing the service should imediately be 'given advice' (as police internal affairs would call it) and either resign from the contract or fulfil its obligations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
