The thermometer has been gradually falling, but this
morning I didn’t think it would be cold enough for the white stuff, but it was.
Not much here in London I grant you, but in some places enough to disrupt the
public transport system in some places.
Not really sure why a bit of ice and snow causes so much of a problem
here in Britain. Well it does often snow at this time of the year, just like it
does in other places in the world. Places like Canada. Where in all but the
worst weather public transport continues to operate.
But The Man and I are prepared for the worst and
have some supplies laid in just in case. Nothing like being prepared I say.
Those who know me will be very well aware that I always like to have plan B.
The government here, like those in other counties
are trying desperately to tighten their belts. Pension eligibility ages are
rising. Couple that with the increasing cost of living and that means that people
re retiring later. Sounds logical. At the other end of age spectrum there are
not enough jobs for the young.
Hmmm so if the oldies are staying at work longer
surely that will mean that the jobs that would have been freed up by their
retirement aren’t.
Doesn’t take a mathematician to work that less people
leaving means less jobs being freed up.
Not really sure of the governments logic there.
But then putting words like government and logic in
the same sentence just doesn’t sound right to me, does it to you?
