I hope so to, I got a brick from the demolition of the old Purchasing block they knocked down about 2 years ago, I go running at Lickey Hills country park just above what was the old plant. I never thought I may work there again sometime

The Tories WON the election, they decided to enter into a coalitionCameron himself said they didn't win! As was also conceded by loads of senior Tories. Being the biggest party clearly does not equal victory under our system. You need a majority to win. I have heard this described as the Tories not 'winning outright' but that doesn't make any sense - as there is nothing short of a majority that is victory under our system. You may as well say the Lib-Dems didn't 'win outright'.
I had a neighbour who bought 2 new allegro's on the trot. She bought them out of loyalty to the country.
T hecar was utter crap. I remember her having to mount a curb then the windscreen popped out! This happened on the first one. Still she stayed loyal and kept her garage busy
Haha that made me laugh. That story reminded me of that carry on film about the toilet factory. That was a send up of the unions.I still saw the remains of the bad old days of rigid demarcation in 1984 when I was a new graduate start at what was then Austin Rover at Longbridge. I had used a "ferry car" to go to a meeting in the old East works. When coming out I noticed a pallet with some components was directly in the way of me reversing the car out to return to my office. There was a forklift nearby and as I had just finished summer work at an ice cream factory in Aberdeen and had a current FLT liscence I just got in and moved it. A driver then appeared and told me that there would have to be an inquiry as to why a non unionised white collar worker dove the truck and there may have to be a protest about it resulting in a withdrawal of labour
I though the was winding up the new graduate and politely told him to go and screw himself and drove off.
i was brought to my boss later that day and told to aplogise to the driver. What the F@CK!!!!
D idn't Red Robo and co go cause havoc in the land of oz?
I msure the families of these goons are still living off the misery they caused us Brits
You would have a point if we were the only country to go into debt over this period but it was a global crisis for all those countries which had mistakenly hitched their horses to the finance capital wagon. George Bush and his 'free market' Republican loonies ended up having to nationalise a large percentage of the US banking sector. The Tories would have had to do much the same. Except, it would have been an even bigger debt under them as they were pushing for further deregulation and for more power to the city. New Labour were crap, no doubt about it. But the Tories over 13 years backed them all the way on all the key issues and were urging them to go further.

So let me get this straight: if the Lib-Dems had instead ended up doing a deal with Labour and the Welsh/Scots Nationalists, therefore keeping the Tories in opposition, the Tories would still have won because they won the most seats? Righto.
No, they couldn't have just gone on and 'run the government themselves' on the basis of winning the most seats. The government get the option to continue as a minority one first. Hence why Brown stayed on as PM for a couple of weeks and was under no obligation to resign until someone else could command a majority. If the Tories had won then Brown would have had to resign straight away as he couldn't command a majority anymore.
Anyway, I'm quite happy to qualify the statement as it amounts to exactly the same thing: the Tories haven't won a outright majority in an election for nearly 20 years.

Doh. Double post.
Why assume 'didn't win' is automatically the same as 'didn't win the most seats'? I just said 'didn't win'. Clearly what I meant was 'didn't win a majority'. I would think most people would take 'didn't win' this way, for the reasons already given. You can hardly ignore the fact that if you haven't got a majority, someone else can form a government.
A quick look at the Tory press on the result:
Cameron didn't win because he was scared of sounding too Tory -

Why the Tories didn't win - http://www.spectator.co.uk/coffeehou...idnt-win.thtml
So the Daily Mail and Spectator say the Tories 'didn't win'. That is good enough for me!
You surmise that we surmise what you think but do not write which is incorrect.
Clearly what I meant was 'didn't win a majority - Is still incorrect to what you seem to mean as they did win a majority of the votes, or are we to surmise you mean something different? In which case you'd make an excellent MP saying things when you mean something else
Keith - Administrator
They won 36% of the vote! So no, whichever way you wish to take it, they didn't win a majority.
That's as maybe... but - whichever way you care to LOOK at it - we ought to be thankful that, at long last, we have a Government that has at least SOME
about what they're trying to achieve!
10 hour shifts, that all..... I used to do 12 hours night shifts and work weekends... THATS A WORKING MAN. Just to bring up my family... that's all... sounds like you have had it to easy going off those pics.....and WHAT is a working man ?

A sfor the miners debacle, I forgot all about that
T hesun is shining Jim, its beautiful outside. Lighten up ah
Plenty of ex armed forces on here, wish i was back... oh no the cut backs
Those were my hours too...7 days a week.
Most of my time in construction was spent as a tunneller on continental shifts, away from the family for months on end and doing hard graft.
Personally I think you're full of it.
My father was 30 years in the Royal Navy so I know all about that too.
He then taught for 15 years at the Army Apprentices college. That's the man who also taught ME the meaning of hard work. A man who served 6 years in a REAL war.
Sometimes my dad was away for up to a year at the other side of the world and my mother and us 4 kids managed. No internet or mobile phones either.
spare me while I go and blow my nose,Those were my hours too...7 days a week.
