The Wharf this afternoon. Options

But curious that teachers and the like have been excluded from the group of sub-humans that form ‘Council employees’. Why? Do you just include binmen as Council employees. (which they’re not.....)

I agree, we shouldn't exclude any, teachers, bin men, the lot of 'em... dumasses!

In truth, the people that some people here like to hate are ones that plug into the market street office every work day.

Bill, think it is quite big of you to admit you're a council employee on this forum, especially on this thread. Everyone else, a council employee, I consider to be someone who is employed directly by WBC and recieves their wages directly from them. Anyone working for Veolia, a school, or ISS landscaping or any other "contractor" is not a WBC employee.

Strafin.


It is my thread!

[spartacus]

Let me guess... Parking Enforcement? Bollard Repair Unit?

Computah says no............

[spartacus]

Just copying other peoples ideas is a sign of an automaton!

I have been assimilated......

(wibble...)

[GMR]

And no I'm not telling what that is.

specialised drain cleaner?

It is my thread!

I meant for "coming out" after all the negative comments, and knowing there would probably be more.

Are you telling us that Bill has "Come out"?

[Guest_Bill1_*]

As a rule I tend to treat people as individuals and not tar everyone from a certain category with the same brush.

Just because I thought one individual was a bit uncooperative in this instance does not mean that it's everybody from WBCs fault.

In fact he couldn't have just said "Yeah go on park there then' without having authorisation. I am attempting to make changes to ensure this doesn't happen in the future and more people can get to events in town if they wish without such problems. I am also going to ask why Bayer only allows their staff car park to be used for free on Saturdays and not Sundays too.

Hmm, I'm not sure they could cope with all this in one go! Indeed, you might want to ask the NRA why most of the shops in Newbury close on a Sunday!

[Bloggo]

Right, here comes the bombshell.



I work for WBC!

Does that mean that I as a tax payer are paying for you to spend your time contributing to this forum instead of working on my behalf????

Maybe a better way of looking at is as an exercise in community relations?

[TallDarkAndHands...]

That explains why you have so much spare time to post on this board! One of the biggest contributors sitting at the WBC offices on-line with no work to do!!!!

OMG I cannot believe that somebody used that old worn out comment. Don't forget that council workers, police etc are also Tax Payers and therefore along your line of arguement Bill1 is using his tax contribution to pay for his time on this forum!

[Chesapeake]

I cannot believe that I missed the debate that was happening on here last night. I was busy with family and home and did not get a chancce to say anything til now and I have quite alot to say if you will give me a little time to formulate my responses. My husband by the way was not amused with what he saw.

I also need to try and work out how to respond to several posts and include their quotes in my one post (hope that makes sense). Any help anyone?

I was wondering what the National Rifle Association had to do with this, then I realised you've invented a new meaning for the acronym

You might remember there was a time when no shops at all were open on a Sunday. I'm not sure if the change is a good thing or a bad thing.

Perhaps the shop workers like to have a day off, too.

Hi Chesapeake, it's easy, just click on the quote button on each post you want to quote then press 'addreply' at the bottom of the thread. This will bring up all the quotes you selected and you can delete any bit that you don't want to respond to in a certain post..

Good luck

No, Bill1 is using the time that he should be working on Council business that we the tax payer are charged for to contribute in no small way to this forum.
This is an example of the way that Council staff are allowed to waste yours and my money by not being managed properly.
I guess we can feel comforted that he is at his desk at least and not swanning around M&S or the Coffee shops as many do exercising their "flexitime" benefit.
You may think it's fine for the Council to be wasting your money but mine is hard earned and I object.

[Strafin]

I agree with Bloggo, but to be fair we don't know Bill's exact position, or his working hours. He could even be on a week off for all we know and writing from home.

Well, you could be right but lets ask chesapeake to ask her Hubby if in his opinion there are a lot of wasters at the Council who seem to get away with it!
