    As hardworking taxpayers, do you think we all deserve a refund for the money spent on Lone Ranger's education?

    As it's clearly not been money well spent.
  • Well as i am not a dole scrounging lay about, i have never been in prison,i pay my taxes,ive done my bit for the uk ie armed forces, and have worked with in social services , and now run two small businesses i can say it was money well spent .
    would i say my grammer/spelling is poor yep but as said it isnt my bread and butter.
    But then i can name a few teachers , lecturers,police officers who i have met through my work whos spelling/grammer is as bad or worse.
    Do i care no, If i am writeing to some one important i do ensure it is all correct but as i am posting on a little web site im not going to put to much effort in to it .
    But do i as a hard working taxpayer wish to ask for a refund on peoples education who work in dead end low paid jobs and whinge and wine how hard they work ,YES.

    I've just noticed you're from Shropshire. That explains everything.

    I don't really appreciate the above comment about LONERANGER being from Shropshire and "that explains everything".

    I am also from Shropshire but it doesn't mean I share the views or attitudes of LONERANGER.

    Such sweeping assumptions infuriate me! Where LONERANGER lives is completely irrelevant

    .
    I know a woman who teaches at a local college she will not queue she just walks to the front if the queue if its more than 3 and states she has to much work to do to be hanging around chit chatting in queues done it in our local town for as long as i know and yes ive seen her get the odd insult but it bothers her not one jott,

    what a rude ignorant worthless !!!!! she is then. i'd like to see her try it round our way, she'd wind up in A&E. Insults would be the least of it.

    What comes around goes around. People like her often end up very lonely in old age. They spend their life being ignorant and nasty to people they spend the last years of their lives very bitter and resentful that no-one cares about them or take time to go and see them. Seeing other people as the problem to their dying breath.
