yup, we know, we can see you posting all day, everyday.

I didn't suggest that the workforce should make the decisions. Perhaps it's naive, but that what I'd expect management to do – manage. That, we are often told, is why management get paid so much more.

I'll shout it from the rooftops because its been a long, hard battle with this government that I sincerely hope never happens to you or yours one day. You may be in the dole queue yourself one day, or have a serious accident on the ski slopes which paralyses you. Would love to see your posts on here then.

So, crap management again.

Or is it just 'Labour's overspending blah blah keep peddling the lies' again?

Indeed. She should scuttle off into a corner and just die, shouldn't she?

do you have any knowledge of Seven Seas?

Those bloody workers refuse to match the $20 per month that will be paid in the Philippines or Cambodia. Lazy b'stards.

So, you say this is wrong and that's wrong, but you don't have an alternative?

That's what's wrong with this country. People are too quick to criticise, but won't even attempt to fix the problem in favour of just having a whinge.

I remember that. Their first store in Wigan was just a warehouse. I bought my first proper Hi Fi from them as well. Garrard 85 turnable, Goodmans receiver and Leak 2030 speakers. Far better sounding than the Japanese tat you subjected yourself to



They used to sell "proper" Hi Fi stuff like that and did it cheaper then anyone else.

Just another high street chain store now.

What support do you think the Government should offer?

OK, but why aren't management allowed to make mistakes? As I said, no one has the benefit of a crystal ball.

And yes, it's to a degree unfair that the workforce have to pay for those mistakes (or an economic downturn, or whatever) with their jobs, but what alternative is there when there is no money to pay for those workers?

It's a simple enough question, and if someone can come up with an answer, then I am all ears.

Oh, but we can all be assured that you do, given that that's the sector you work in.

Oh ...
