hi sheryl.

dont worry, we havent all been naughty and been yikesed

as hootoo is part of the beeb...
and they had a strike...
we couldnt play either

Aw sheryl.i assumed that you knew,or would have text you!It should all be back soon,and then you can catch up with the posts.

It's ok girls... I sussed it out after I'd posted..lol.. Just caught me off guard as they started early.... s

dont worry sheryl.. it caught a lot of poeple out...

Yea! Including me! after I had edited a Snippet it whipped it away to get Processed
Ive got it back now though
Smudger,

Wot do the beeb need to strike for anyway?? Don't they make enough with wot they charge for the licence fee????

no... they want to cut down the workforce and the workforce dont like that idea.

It's not the beeb on strike but the journos and techno's etc..........there's 4,000 proposed job cuts across the board and not necessarily thro natural wastage or volountary redundancies......so the peasants are revolting!!!!

Be warned there's another 48hr strike scheduled for next mon/tues if they don't all get round the table and start talking again

I'll go invade 'em with me cold...
Some folk are never satisfied eh...

i thnk its going to take more than your cold

It'll be a start... Anyways, I don't want it...

I got caught out too
Sheryl,if the 4,000 jobs go,then it could mean we lose h2,(as far as i can make out).I don't think a lot of people would be happy about that.Maybe we should get a petition up love!!!

Speaking of job cuts, I recall a miner coming to my door shaking a collection tin, looking for support when the pits were being shut down.

I pointed out to him that some 4000 of us oil construction workers were paid off, it merited only 3 lines on page 5 of the national press?

Nothing like the headlines the media gave them, and sent him on his way
Thats when I had to start my own business to surive
