Members of the public are the customers of the "civil" service, the only difference between being a PAYING customer of a shop from the public sector, is that with the shop you have the option of shopping elsewhere . . .

That's why they see themselves as untouchable! There is absolutely no concept of who they work for.

Evidence that they work for the government then. Unless that insurance rule was your idea.Today's ruse; fining people who have an uninsured car on the driveway. Remember, everyone is guilty unless proven innocent.
Had a guy start with us a few weeks ago, with a few others. He'd been laid off as a road repairer.
I was helping run the training for the new faces.
He stood out initially for one main reason:
He couldn't read.
FFS, how the f

He didn't last long. Shame, he was a nice guy.

I bet public sector staff love serving Tinman.
You just KNOW he is one of those people
Not at all. I talk to anyone, whether they are public or private employees with respect. It's called 'good manners'. Costs nothing You just KNOW he is one of those people
HTH(Unless they are a prat, and then I'll treat them with with the disdain they deserve.)
(Except traffic wardens. I treat all of them with disdain from the word go.)

No. You employed us. Then the tax receipts dried up. Now you're up a certain creek without a certain paddle you need to cut back on us. It was your numpty mismanagement of the Economy and letting the bankers trough away (amongst other things). After all, as you keep saying, you're our paymasters.
It was Labour who 'manufactured' too many public sector jobs, relying on the hammered private sector to finance them. Labour was spending more than they were receiving even at the height of their tax income. The banks lent money to people who wanted to borrow - OK many people were stupid and borrowed too much.tinman0 said:

Same as me then HTH(Unless they are a prat, and then I'll treat them with with the disdain they deserve.)
And guess which category I put them in if they spout rubbish like "I pay your wages" ?

That's fair enough.However, surely now that it is evident that we do not have enough money to pay the "decorators" then getting rid of them should raise no complaints?
Oh, wait....
