    Why dont you get a job cleaning toilets Saint? you will end up having to do something like that after your employer sacks you for being on the internet all day.It would be right up your street.

    That was entirely uncalled for. It is nothing but personal abuse for absolutely no reason. You don't like it when people call you do oyu - because I know for a fact what you do if you feel a little slighted by a poster - you report them to the moderators don't you? You can hand it out but can't take it? Post reported.

    theres nothing wrong with cleaning loos for a living! I've done it, I used to be a cleaner in a pub and if I were physically able to I'd do it again. I'd much rather that than be stuck in the situation I'm in now.

    Thanks for that...my point was that in this Utopian society where everyone only exists to provide worthwhile employment for others, there are still less than desirable jobs to be done. Will it be decided by ballot who performs these jobs or will, as is the case now, a company see an oppportunity and for a payment, do these jobs that others wont want to? And then another company decides they can also do this and provide the service for a lower fee? And so ad infinitum until all services are provided for the lowest cost and we are back in reality?

    Oh, and check the timings of my posts, you will see I have not been on here all day.

    Agreed totally un-needed that post.
