You
may be concerned at a loss of jobs in the UK.


Nope.


Well Keith, perhaps you should be?. Are you retired?,



Yep.


and if you are and
you rely on a pension, or perhaps you made squillions and have salted
that away,



Jeez, you bin here - do I look like I've got 'squillions' salted away???


your pension is going to be funded by the present British
workforce, so perhaps you should be a shade more concerned.



Nah, my pension is a pittance - I *earn* the 'pocket money' I get. I'm not
relying on the IT pussies/call centre creeps for my existence - I've paid
MILLIONS out in salaries, I've had a grand a week 'spending money' coming
in, in the past, and spent it all and I couldn't give a **** about money.
The less I've had, the more fun I have. Life's a **** sight too short to
worry about money, believe you me!!


Or are you or would you be happy with the same standard of living as a
typical Chinese family?, and it isn't that good, according to a Chinese
person I know....



Back in the fifties everybody was broke and living standards were poor by
today's and this country was a damn sight better place than it is now or
will *ever* be again. For example, the best music, the best audio kit, the
best artists, musicians and performers have all been and gone.

Don't believe me? Have a little think about it and come back and shoot me
down. Name one area where things are really *better* today!

(Start with 'broadcasting' if you like..... ;-)
