shovels for alcos asbos and the unemployed

You can't make the unemployed work - FACT.

well we will stick with the ASBO and ALCO types we see loungeing around on our streets..

H&S issues ,forced labour man slips and breaks leg = £200,000 lawsuit,cheaper to buy 2 new gritters

300,000 shovellers out in China

import 300,000 Chinese shovellers,job done,the heat generated would take the snow off the roofs as well

Betfair would be deserted.

I didn't know you types were big on immigrants?

If people actually showed a bit of community spirit and did the pavements in front of their houses then we'd have less of a problem.

dead right DD

exactly what I have been doing,3 packets of salt,even the fresh snow melted on it

very true DD. though i live in a flat and dont have a shovel. the nearest ive got is umm...a pizza cutter. i dont even have one of those frying pan turnerover thingies cos i dont have a frying pan.

When I was a kid, 1962 was a bad winter in London, I used to dig up the snow from our house to the road. Then next door gave me two bob (10p) to do his path.

By the end of the week me and my mate had done most of the surrounding streets, and we were like milly-un- airs.

that would take away all the over time of the coucil workers though

case ..i see that on tv 300 thous shovelling ..get the lowlifes here to do it too

council workers lol thats a good one

I had a customer that had informed me they expect to earn aboout 8k this winter even if there was no snow, just for being "on call". Thats extra, heck know how much extra they will earn now they actually hae to do some work on top. Still the money all filters through the system.

swindonboy where's your shovel :^0

Son in law runs a transport office for his local council. He loves this weather, he goes out in the gritting lorry and earns a facking fortune.

If i drove m8, i would do that job , i have heard it is a very well paid job and very satisfying knowing you are helping the general public ;)

He doesn't forget to do his own road, and whole half mile to the main road. :^0
