Using the original cast , what tasks would the platoon take if they manned the Channel Tunnel at Folkestone,
For example would the spiv be selling his wears to those he lets through.

vq and stb
or are you just talking generally about those in officialdom?

I hope not all (speaking as an ex-civil servant)

Roseq, I think you know that vampire has her own problems with officialdom as told frequently on different threads. She is unlikely to mean all in officialdom. I certainly did not take her to mean those in my family who work for the council. I think you are probably quite safe.

AnniEbach It's sad that we still need those things, and probably always will. But I do think this latest suggestion would start to put women back into the weaker sex category. And then, how long before women are back under men's thumbs? Not good, I honk.

Ana Wed 26-Aug-15 21:57:09

Honk? grin

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 26-Aug-15 21:57:20

shock !!!

I DO NOT HONK! I THINK!!!

[flippin' I-pad!] hmm

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 26-Aug-15 21:58:09

Blimey Ana! Quick off the mark or what!

Ana Wed 26-Aug-15 21:59:29

Gave me the best laugh I've had all day though! grin
Hope you're enjoying your break!

Anniebach Wed 26-Aug-15 22:11:56

Jingle, I am sorry, I don't know what you mean

Tegan Wed 26-Aug-15 22:16:20

confused In joke perhaps?

Ana Wed 26-Aug-15 22:19:32

I think jingl meant to post on the 'How Stupid is Corbyn getting' thread.

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 26-Aug-15 22:22:05

Anniebach I was on the wrong thread. Can you please read that post in the context of the 'Corbyn latest idea' thread.

Thank you Ana. Am having a lovely time with my two young hooligans little darlings. wink

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 26-Aug-15 22:24:39

Ana has got it one.

#knackeredandslightlyinebriated xxx smile

jinglbellsfrocks Wed 26-Aug-15 22:24:58

in one

Ana Wed 26-Aug-15 22:26:56

I'd have thought it was obvious, but apparently not! grin

Anniebach Wed 26-Aug-15 22:28:11

Silly me jingle, I see that now sorry , I don't object to it as long as it's the woman's choice, I am concerned some men with brains below their waist will think if a woman chooses not to travel in a woman's only area she is begging for it. I think Corbyn just put it forward as a suggestion after being asked about the rise in attacks on women

Anyone noticed how ill Teresa May looks these days?
The refugee crisis is taking its toll.

Anniebach Wed 26-Aug-15 23:37:56

She didn't look well when she was in France, she must be stressed and wuite exhausted, but she did take a holiday shortly after the house closed

I think she lost a lot of weight having been diagnosed with diabetes; sometimes losing weight fairly quickly can make people look what DA used to call 'drawn'.
