  • I think it would be great to visit that curry house. The guy running it seemed like a really decent man.

    The way the unskilled younger Brits coped, or failed to cope, made me very sad.

    Having suspected that we demand too little self-discipline and effort from the least able, it was an uncomfortable experience seeing where everyone's best efforts, and hand-outs, had taken these particular kids.

    Why is it that any criticism of what is purely job related is been taking so personally?!!

    I suspect a short fuse syndrome in many of the people shown here prevent them from getting back to work.

    True that. I'd consider myself to be intelligent enough to (just about) get by when I graduate, but I can still take criticism and correction in my mundane part time job.
