A fool and his money.....

Totally agree, although I thought they spell aluminium the same but pronounced it differently? They do the same thing with solder - that very weird indeed.

I think they're still recovering, probably getting counselling. Infiltration behind enemy lines is a piece of cake compared to facing classrooms full of Ramsey teenagers who have been locked in for half an hour.

It didn't cause the slightest misunderstanding, in fact I'd be surprised if many people even noticed it, I certainly didn't until you pointed it out. As a piece of written communication I would say it was entirely adequate. I would also argue that the school exists to prepare their pupils for their future life, especially their working life. I can't imagine a single instance in my long working life where such an innocuous mistake would make the slightest jot of difference to any outcome whatsoever. I think this kind of pedantry is never useful, does nothing to aid communication and is more about showing off how clever you are than anything else. I think being humble and gracious is a far more important and useful skill to nurture. Mistakes happen, we're all human, as I said let he who is without sin cast the first stone - especially when there is absolutely no harm done.

Yes, they'll be along around the same time as they launch the Christmas drinks driving campaign.

And completely ignoring the much more pertinent point that they survive, indeed prosper almost entirely from government work.

He's trying to be clever. It really doesn't suit him.

Or a mistake. Let he who is without sin .......

I think pretty much anyone you ask on the island would know exactly who they meant. Except dopey Dave who generally doesn't have a clue.

Never bothered you before. Shame I'm not as easily intimidated as others.

More PM'S incoming from #fantasydave Ingham. Just shows, you can change your username, but a leopard never changes his spots. He really doesn't like you knocking the government!

Yeah right. #fantasydave

Yet more complete bollocks presented as fact.

Is the work needed? Most local firms do little or no government work. You said capital spending is "through the floor" it's still over £100m per year and doesn't account for all government building work by any means. You don't need to comment on the quality, it speaks for itself, time and again. Government construction is generally double the market rate at least. I'm not a builder. You obviously work for government, your posting history is littered with you defending the government with a very dubious grasp on the truth.

Not bitter at all. Just not blinkered like you.

They don't need to be.
