grendel Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 the thing that gets me is that these activists dont see that all they are doing is damaging their cause, because as soon as anyone mentions it now, it will be associated with these activists and the general public will stop listening and start ranting at the people trying to get the message across, about these outrageous activities. do these people not realise they are doing their causes more harm than good - or is that their intention to discredit future attempts to save the planet. to be honest it just made an already difficult day, more difficult and lead to me missing the first 1 1/2 hours of the training the last thing people need is more stress in their lives. as mentioned above we are straying into the political, which was never my intent on posting the above, just to pass on about a bad day travelling.it was mitigated somewhat by the scenery along the A507, but I didnt get to enjoy that as much as i should because I was running late by then. probably best forgotten now its over and done with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I have now fitted twenty eight bifold shower screen doors in the last fourteen working days. Only another sixty odd to go The thing is, prior to commencing the pressure was on to complete two each day. I could easily do five but the hotel can only make two rooms each day available Griff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I haven't looked up the definition of the "label" idiot but I have to think that anyone whose form of protest is totally counterproductive to their cause can't be very bright.

We have been trying all week to get up to Norfolk to start the winterisation of Windmill Lady. I look at google Maps, see a 4 hour plus journey time and say "nah". Protestors apart, these incidents highlight how vulnerable our critical national infrastructure is. These are protestors - misguided and highly irriatating but probably well-meaning; next time it might be terrorist saboteurs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let's not offend their tender feelings. Let's just call them outlaws. There can be no question of that, I hope? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope we can ad to that, without destroying the general publics lives. Most of us will listen and reflect but most of us suffer when held to ransom. Especially those that respect others and live by a moral code. Regards Parge 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floydraser Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Did these duckwits let ambulances and fire engines through? Why don't they employ the services of publicity experts to tell them how to get their message accross in a way that wouldn't turn people against them? Or am I being too obvious? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracie Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I've just got back from London after a very early start and a long day. I log on and there's talk of ducks being stupid and ducks being called ducks. I have news for you, ducks are called ducks because they are in fact ducks x 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwanR Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Watched some of the cricket this morning. The ironing, cooking, gardening, and some Christmas present wrapping have filled the middle of the day. Next I have to juggle the F1 grand prix and the Strictly results show this evening. Will need to stay offline until I've watched them both to avoid any spoilers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it great when the weekend comes and you get a day off My youngest once commented on how great the weekends were, no school, just play and do as he pleases, I answered that it was just peachy while I was ironing, cleaning, washing etc 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
