Now I understand the problem!!

[Gastines]

Having just read in the Bournemouth Echo,my old local, that the Social Services are recruiting staff in America, the local Hospital sends a management team to the Phillipines to recruit staff, I feel that all is becoming clear as to why the UK is in such dire straits. Add to the the post this morning informing my just retired wife that her little pension fund has been losing £200+ a month,;still charging 1% to mismanage it; Letter sent to HSBC on Jan 22nd was filed and not dealt with but no-one is in that office 2.30pm on a Friday.

The stress these inefficient people cause by laziness or on purpose seems to prevail in all aspects of UK business these days.

My only remedy is to send them a bill for our wasted time/stress/phone-calls. I nearly mentioned loss of interest but Gordon and Darling seem to have cancelled that point for the next ten years.

However , the sun is shining,the birds are nesting  and my broad bean and runner bean seeds have all sprouted.

Regards.
