husoi Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I've suggested a solution for the lack of skilled labour in the UK... But do they listen? Of course not... My solution: Invite Poland, Romania and Bulgaria to leave the EU as UK did (they are dying to leave). Then invite those countries to become part of the UK. That not only wind up the EU but will solve the problem with recruitment 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just suggesting a solution for maintaining the Empire With Scotland leaving soon you lot will end up with just Wales.

H and S nightmare due to the added covid RA's.... And long un sociable hours Dozens of skilled Fitters, Technicians and Engineers available due to closures in other industries .. especially Aviation. Covid has not impacted our operations at all, keeping up with all the different rail depots requirements took a while but sorted months ago. Working hours are tightly legislated and monitored iaw Railway Group Standards. It’s a good place to be at the moment.... we’re buried in work for the foreseeable future.

You cant even warm a pie up at work, thats the problem with induction furnaces .... we had gas fired walking beam furnaces at my steel works ... speed up the walk, put pies on the entry ... recover perfectly cooked pies before they fell into the quench ,,,, lovely We have full English brekkie for Sunday dinner .... and a small roast mid week when the girls are with us .... they go to Uncle johns Saturday and Sunday now .... gives us a bit of a break .... But Riley (3), comes Saturday morning until Sunday morning ..so break is probably the wrong word ...

dynax Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 We're having roast chicken today and as me and Andrea only have the breast meat, the cats have the rest and they usually end up having more than what we do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Westerly Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 Roast pheasant today. And the rest of my keg to get over the pain. Might need more if Liverpool get beat by City. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Fancier than toad in the hole though! But then food cooked by someone else always has the edge- even if not on taste 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynax Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I must have bought a slightly bigger chicken than normal as the cats also had a decent amount of breast meat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
