    Interview on the radio this morning with the organist of the cathedral, kicked off with something like "Where were you when the fire started?".

    Maybe it's just me, but it seems a little early to point the finger of blame.

    Good job this didn't happen in Wisconson, Steven Avery would have been found guilty!

    True but it was a blow. At the time it felt like the wind had been taken from our sails. Had Man U drawn that game who knows?

    When we lost to Oldham at home 1-0 a few weeks later it looked like we’d given up! Terrible day!

    Blackburn away for me. Shocking performance, we didn't turn up, the half built ground in a dismal place, and the horrible journey back knowing it was all over. Gutted!

  3. There is a great deal going to Barcelona this year, but as I'm going to Spa already, I can't do both. It works out at £375 for 5 nights half board, including drinks. It's on travelzoo at the moment.

  4. We're not leaving!!!!!

    May is a Remainer! She's playing it so the "deal" is so bad it gets voted down, nobody wants no deal, so it will all get kicked into the long grass,  and the blame will go to the EU for not budging ! This is what she wants.

    It will get debated in Parliament until everyone is blue in the face and bored, and then it will all be a distant memory,

    And I think this is ultimately where we differ. I don’t believe Man Utd and the likes will be content in being  told they can’t have a player unless they pay X amount more than the friends of Mendes rate.

    I’d also be interested in seeing how that plays out if Wolves have serious ambition to challenge the elite. The big clubs are even less likely to be happy for a “rival” to have mates rates for players.

    But if they’re going to be essentially a feeder club like you’re suggesting then becoming a top six club/elite club is unlikely if they keep selling their best players, albeit for a substantial profit.

    See Aston Villa 2009-2011!

    Pretty sure that's what these are, rebadged as Aldi. 

    They are. My wife works for a (German) company who sell food packaging machines. The "Foxes" company, is actually a brand name, anyone can set up a biscuit factory and apply for the licence.

    The factory my wife deals with makes the chocolate biscuits for all the major players, they are all the same, just badged up differently. Think Ford/Nissan/Seat 7 seater.

    So they all start (apart from possibly police constables) at over £21,000 p/a right now - let alone in 2020 when the £10/hr minimum wage would kick in... under a Labour government who would (likely) increase public sector wages moreso than the Conservatives anyway.

     

    I can't believe you'd rather take a lesser wage for sitting on a supermarket checkout than doing a morally rewarding job.  Perhaps a sad indictment of modern society.

    So, assuming Labour win, and minimum wage goes up to £10/h by 2020, how much will a nurse ,for example, have to be paid to cover all the years of training and wiping arses?
