    Absolutely. Sod the shareholders ( shares-- only invest what you're prepared to lose) who have happily collected their dividends while the customers have been deprived of leak repairs, sewage treatment etc on the basis of lack of funds. How on earth can dividends still be handed out whilst the overdraft goes up and up to £14 billion ?
    The top man should be out the door now , no severance package and made to repay every penny of all the bonuses he has undoubtedly pocketed whilst overseeing such a shambles. Also, sod the bank who has loaned the £14b.-- no govt ''intervention'' to give them their stake back - they've happily placed their bet and lost

    Putting a piece of ply down with nails knocked through has a much better effect. Food from the farm stopped being stolen very quickly for some reason <laugh>

    Kids are both super excited about the Easter Bunny coming tomorrow, you can't beat the innocence of youth.

    Can't say we put the same effort into the complex web of lies and Oscar worthy acting that we do pretending Santa and the Tooth Fairy are real for the Easter Bunny but they fully believe there's some kind of (giant?) bunny dropping off some chocolate eggs tonight.

    Were doing an Easter egg hunt for our grandkids and they're 20&17, don't think they'll ever grow up which is really nice actually.
