I can understand your nostalgia for Fussels Conny Onny condensed milk. It's always disappointing when a favorite product seems to disappear from the market.

SSFA is still going today, it was renamed to SSAFA in 1919 after the military decided it should start flapping its arms and become a triservice.

Re: Get your Money Tree ready diggingdeeper 6th Dec 2023 5:05pm
I agree on Council pay, it should top out at around £80,000 but if that happened the work would be contracted out and not only would the execs be paid more, shareholders would get a cut as well

I'd disagree to an extant on severance pay, I think it should be a minimum of three years salary plus three years pension payments all tax free. Why should a worker lose out and often been thrown on the scrapheap because of a lack of ability of top management? Why should the Government get a cut of a compensatory payment?

Not forgetting that severance pay is taxable, in 2013 £100,000 would probably have incurred around £24,000 tax unless it was agreed to be paid over a number of years (a tax fiddle not often allowed to any other than senior management). However the £100,000 might not have been purely severance pay eg it may have had pension elements in it as well.

Councils are chickenfeed compared to industry. Look at Thames Water, a public services provider.....

£14.7Bn pounds in debt
£1.3Bn pounds a year operating revenue (so over 10 years in arrears)
Haven't been meeting their obligations - hence they manage to show a small "operating profit" by not spending on things they are obliged to do.
Still paying dividends to their investors.

Thames Water recovery plan? Borrow more money to pay more in dividends. This will result in increased debt, less ability to meet their obligations and when they eventually go chest-up the public will end up paying that debt. Senior management make a killing, shareholders make a killing all paid for by failure.

How are they allowed to charge for something they are not providing?
How can you pay dividends out of borrowing?
How are they allowed to continue a spiral of borrowing which is clearly beyond the point of no return.
How can you justify a £2M salary plus 40% bonus to the boss of this company?

Last post on graves that has nothing to do with Nellie, after this back on topic.

Example, Landican Cemetery, NC2, public grave, 1934-1941 grave 691, 9 occupants, grave 726, at least 5 occupants, gave up looking then.

Very likely DD, if you look at the burial snippet above, J5 and K4 have multiple occupancy. They will have CWGA headstones side by side. Find the gentleman below and that is NC 6.

No, don't remember that place, where was it ? Although my era was late 60's early 70's really (and my memory's fading)

I seem to remember a place called 'The California' ? Always seemed to be fights there.....at least whenever I went, ha !

Re: Gaza diggingdeeper 13th Nov 2023 1:39am
A few more straight facts.

The UN has consistently issued more resolutions against Israel than all other countries combined. Most of the resolutions were about the treatment of Palestinians by Israel.

Total since 2015:- Israel=140, Rest-of-World=68

In 2022:- Israel=15, Rest-of World=13 (of which 6 were against Russia)



As far as deaths and injuries go (this should update with time, if not refresh your browser)....
