THE BRITISH THREAD

Why?.....What's happened?

Where's she gone?


SSSSSSSSSMMMMMMMOOOOOOORRRRRRGGGGGGSSSSSSSS!

WHAT'S HAPPENED?

Don't leave me in suspenders! One minute bored, the next, full of anticipaterionisms.

Tap tap tap........I had ONE very exciting moment this morning, conducting a short interview with a horse shagger. From when that ended, up until now, nothing...........

Come on girl! I've been twiddling at my desk for three hours!

....and now I've got to go to the loo.........

I was on my fifth appointment of the morning - even though we are supposed to only do eight in a day!

I was dehydrated, had no breakfast, and a headache...

A scrotum of the first order was in waiting for a giro with a little boy (2) in a buggy in the public seating area, he had been in for hours and of course because the Father had brought NO DRINKS, NO BOOKS, NO ANYTHING to entertain a small child, even though he knows the wait is lengthy, the little boy started straining and crying in the buggy, the Dad dragged him out by the arm and told him to 'shut it!'

The Dad did not interact at all with the child and just left him to run around... when he went near the fan (of course we don't have adequate ventilation - let alone air con) and the Security Guard warned the boy not to play with it, the Dad went mad at the boy and threw him in the buggy and started roughly strapping the (by now) screaming boy in, then he warned him he would 'PUNCH HIM!' if he didn't stop crying and raised his fist.

I stood up and in my loudest voice (and it's loud) shouted OI! OI! "YOU TOUCH THAT CHILD AND I'M CALLING THE POLICE AND SOCIAL SERVICES"

Everyone was shocked! The whole office went quiet as I ranted at the man for expecting a child of that age to sit strapped in a buggy for hours in the same nappy with no food or drink and just expect him to wait for HIS giro!

I resisted the temptation to say 'get a job and get yourself some condoms, low-life sumbag'.

I gave the kid my highlighters and some paper which kept him amused, at one point he drew a picture and showed it to his Dad, he said to THE SMALL CHILD 'I'm not f*cking interested'.

Can you believe it?

I went outside and cried my eyes out...

That's really not a nice story, smorgs.


But: what happened to his lordship on the loo????

This is the sad.

I think you should alert the social services anyways.

What kind of future will this child have????

Hey smorgie- Are we promoting Britain on here? Or giving it a bad name.

Better stay away from Manchester eh?

One never knows. Might be the next Wayne Rooney.

Well if I can't rant here, where can I?

I'm calmer now, thank you for indulging me...

Sorry to depress everyone.

smorgs,

I've often thought it might be an idea to add a contraceptive agent to British tap water and that prospective parents should be obliged to take parenting classes beore being issued with an antidote. Unfortunately "career pregnancy" is an attractive option to some of the ignorant specimens we are producing from our "education" system.

Yep, Social Services involvement, methinks.

I'm sorry you've had a bad day, Sarah. It certainly is a sh*tty thing sometimes, working with the public. Beats my horse shagger interview hands down.
If your job is anything like mine (and I would imagine that we work with very similar individuals) you've probably had all the nasty stuff happen to you as well. Being sworn at, threatened with violence, having your car scratched and worst of all, being spat on (I HATE that).

Are you home now? Have you got a mate to come round and chat it through? You need a large G+T and a fag, then another, before having a snooze on the couch.
Works for me.



Sorry I was in the loo, by the way. Damn saucisson afterburn!

I know what you mean, fresco...

Can't help thinking the governments new 'social inclusion' policy will do nothing to help this increasing problem.

last month I saw a young girl, she was third generation on benefits... she told me she had 'fell pregnant' (I hate that expression - I always want to say "what did you fall on - a penis?") Of course she would be horrified if anyone suggested she had an abortion, she would see it as totally immoral! And yet it isn't deemed immoral for her to bring a child into the world with absolutely no parenting skills whatsover, and for the first three years of it's life it will be strapped to a buggy and fed on pies and ice fingers from Greggs!

I feel so old!!!

I'm starting to 'wonder what the worlds coming to'

I've turned into a crumpy old woman and it's not sexy!

I think crump is very sexy.

I suppose, LE could add some similar stories - or even worse. I could, too.


-------------

Catword LE: is the Droitwich Evening Messenger really soooo interesting that you read that small paper for nearly ONE hour on the loo?

...you just made me laugh!

thanks...

crumpys are gooooooood...

with butter!

Me and daughter debated whether more than one crumpet was crumpeii.

What about a very young, naive P.O who brought his bike in to give to a young offender who was needing it to get himself round to various job interviews.
He SEEMED such a nice young lad, who needed a "leg up".

He immediately sold my bike, bought heroin with it and nearly died.

That made me feel good, and led me on the road to hard cynicism.

There was a large problem that I had to work out with a pencil....

I'm going to put the tea on...

See y'all later

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY NONSENSICAL

"I'll have a steak and kiddley pie please"

"Pardon?"

"a steak and kiddley pie please"

"You just said kiddley!"

"No, I didn't"

"Yes you did, you just said kiddley, ask him" (points to other customer)

(man turns to other customer)

"Tell me....I didn't say kiddle-eye, diddle-eye?"
