Your right and wrong Ded. The unions did not wreck the industry. Thatcher closed them down just like she did with the mines. No investment. And you are right the uk does not make many parts for cars now because it had a knock on effect when the big companies were closed down. Take a look at JAGUAR LAND ROVER. Who owns it? We will be held to ransom again if the indians pull out how many jobs will go?Originally Posted by Dedworth
wow i am glad i dont read the papers, and i just have to think about myself and my family, yes stress with work but with work that helps me save and get out of this country quicker,plus i dont vote either so who ever is to blame for what ever, things will not change overnight,be happy with what you have and who you are, seems to be the best thing

Oh. Our old friend the HSE....helping to ensure that gas is stored underground in Cheshire and Yorkshire respectively, safely.

Laslid Im not going to question you on this mate you know what your talking about. But what I will say is I will not be surprised if this project is scrapped through lack of funding.
You might be right. It looks like the project is well underway. A heap had been drilled by 2008 and they recommenced work a couple of years later. I don't actually know their status right now. But I hope that they don't scrap it, from the consumers point of view.
Look at it another way the more we pay the more tax the government will get.
This suggests it is still ongoing, as of June of this year. So maybe we will see cheaper UK gas prices eventually.
"Interserve, the international support services and construction group, has won a contract worth over £5 million to provide pipework fabrication and mechanical services for a new gas storage facility in Stublach, Cheshire.

The reality is YOU gwapito can put fuel in your car. YOU gwapito can afford expensive utilities. YOU gwapito can afford to go half way round the world. So everything is ok.
im getting the distinct impression you dont like me very much
Anyway, there is a moral to this story.....
I'll say no more on this thread.
Who owns interserve Lastlid?
Dont know. I notice they have a big contract with the NHS. Based in Reading, Berkshire. Also the home of Dedworth and British Gas.
Looks like it could be British.

Its your attitude I dont like. I will just remind you there hard working honest people on this forum who are not as fortunate as you so spare a thought for them. I have met people like you in the past when everything is ok they dont care but when the crap hits the fan they turn round and start asking questions as to why they cant get a job or how can they feed their kids? That is the real world we live in. Its a well known fact that the thatcher era bred people like you who dont give a toss about others. Sorry about messing your thread up Ded.
I was going to mention that Joe.
Old British Leyland Advert
we are in a terrible situation, whos ever fault it is, and maybe it started back in the 70s but i think if it carried on how it was with the strikes , 3 day week, powercuts and all that we had in them days given by the unions and the goverment, we would be just like greece, and spain, are now, i did like thacher myself, infact i think that may have been the last time i voted, but as many said in the end she stayed on for two long, another thing here is even though we have a great deal of sympathy to our fellow members about visas, the cost of this and that, all we can do is listern and give advice if we can, Number 1 person or people to look after is your own family and then friends
And heres an interesting article from march 2012. See what Norway did they we didnt....
"Britain has squandered golden opportunity North Sea oil promised
Norway saved up its North Sea revenue to pay for an ageing population, but the UK has frittered its windfall away
http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/e...nue-squandered
Anybody notice which party had all the luck with North Sea oil coming on stream? And its affects on the fortunes of the respective parties? And what the respective parties have done with it....
More Oil Gloom
"Who gets the oil in the event of Scottish independence? It depends who you speak to and any division of the spoils will be hotly fought over by politicians in Edinburgh and London. If you draw a median line out across the North Sea from the border then 90% of the oil tax revenues will accrue to Scotland. If the calculation is done on the basis of population then that figure will be reduced to 9%, according to the (London-based) National Institute of Economic and Social Research (Niesr)."

Was this lady lucky to inherit the benefits of oil coming on stream? And is she guilty of squandering it?
