I assume that is aimed at the teaching fraternity and not my good self?

I’m more a Fred Perry man myself.. Not sure if they have one in that style..

Anyway don’t upset the locals please, you will get me into trouble again.

My school was very posh, the rooms had cushioned walls and half of my teachers had white velcro jackets.

Why would anyone get the train.. You don’t spend all that money on a Chelsea tractor and get a train..
Never been on probation, so can’t comment on G4S..

Do you really want to go there? Do you really want me to list all the great privately owned companies as a counter to your poorly run examples.. It's never that black and white fella, we could keep going for months.
You're not very good at this are you.
Keep trying to have a dig though, it's keeps me smiling.

Not sure why you continue to want to antagonise everyone, mista makes a fair point imo.

Anyway...as for the ‘real world’ comment, I doubt there are many that have greater experience of the ‘real world’ than NHS Hospital workers or certain inner city schools come to that.

As for the list...well BT, Serco, G4S, Virgin Rail, Stagecoach, Carillion, the privatised water companies and the £500bn bank rescue package for starters.

Not disputing that there are great privately owned companies btw, just that, as you yourself concede...’it’s never that black and white’.

Mista is quite capable of looking after himself.. He made a sarky comment to which I responded. Don’t remember anyone asking for a Lycra clad RA to jump in..

Lean and mean in the real world.. It’s a non issue really as there are well run private companies and some okay public ones. not sure what he was trying to prove.. As for the NHS, meh..

‘Don’t remember asking for a Lycra clad RA to jump in...’

No idea what that means...thought this was a public forum and I know mista is quite capable of looking after himself.

Probably for the best if we just ignore each other then...I’ll just leave you with one thought. A wise man once said...

‘Rudeness is the weak person’s imitation of strength.’ I know you won’t want to think on that but maybe you should.

No I'm not very good just as good as you I know all about private companies thank you of course there are excellent ones Just a bugbear of mine the Tories giving our money to companies who spunk it up the wall I can give you a lot bigger list of you want up to you Then I will tell you the millions they have lost they get fined for the incompetence but who pays that fine Yes you've guessed right the taxpayer while they get to keep their ridiculous salaries

[Trickytreesreds]

Still doesn't tell me who's got a cardigan with leather elbow patches?

Nah cant be arsed to think.. You do that for everyone anyway.
Did you find your cardigan?

[AngryRam]

Blimey a bit of grammar would help.. So basically we agree there are good and bad on both sides? I have no doubt there is huge waste in those companies you have quoted.
I've read that 5 times and am not 100% sure what you have said!!

Hmmm it is a very long post without a single punctuation mark

Careful GP...you’ll be picking up that cardigan that causes sixty year old Fred Perry and his sidekick so much merriment. Suppose you could save on the patches though.

Let’s not have the return of the ‘grammar police’.
