The thing is Lady Thatcher promoted self reliance and enterprise ,one of my relatives is stanch labour  ....hated her ....bought all his water & gas co shares,got all his free bank shares ,bought his council house .....was un skilled in the 70,s80,s 90,s  supplemented his low income legally with benefit top ups in and out of work ....now mid 70,s living in a 250k bungalow up north paid for (well until the over 24k care home cracks in ..... :blank: )  he is still a socialist and still hates Thatcher ....... :blank:

a friend that started out with me, educated, practical  mid 1980,s 25 year old ,now 60 lives in a stately home ,goes to work in a helicopter and has  a new Bentley convertible for the sunday lunch run  ,all through rolling the 1980,s90,s conservative self belief dice.

I my self grafted in my early years  13/40 , and did very well ,but by the time i was 38 ,i recognized the "golden cage" and the difficulty to escape it once confined so by 40 ,i had chosen a Fiat panda and olive picking & fresh food & air & Life

but all this was down the Thatcherism  and here enterprise Culter  (hence my spelling is crap because i was to busy making money than to go to school )  :wink:

You can't always control who walks into your life...but you CAN control which window you throw them out of.

Yes just because they are online doesn't mean they post anything . been 2 days often without posts.

The Six-Nations rugby matches this weekend should provide plenty of opportunities for people to comment - whatever the results? ... [Perhaps it is best not to try and make sense of the - usually upsetting - news from Gaza, or from the Ukraine, or from numerous other trouble-spots around the world?]

I am finding there are no new posts but it appears there are members on line , is there a problem with the forum ? Maybe I have pressed something which has stopped me reading any new posts !
