Kiwipaul you Jammy Bastard
You buggers are creaming it at the taxpayers expense , any jobs going at your place , its better than being at the coal face of private industry.
Public sector better for families
WORKERS take note: jobs in the public sector are more than three times more likely to be family friendly than those in the private sector.
But, according to a special report for the NSW Government obtained under Freedom of Information laws, the private sector is much more likely than the public sector to give wage rises.
Those wages also come at a higher rate than the public sector.
The report on enterprise bargaining reveals that public-sector agreements are much more likely to contain family friendly provisions above the legally required amount, including:
Working from home
Subsidised childcare or child-care facilities
Career break schemes
Job sharing
Paid maternity, paternity leave
Carers leave.

As apposed to you who is shafting a private company that is trying to turn a crust but cannot because of louts like you who are taking all the cream.
You and me PB are in very similair situations we are both stuck in boring jobs and not much prospects for anything better. But me I enjoy myself when not at work whereas you seem to find everything Ozzie, boring, dirty or too expensive.
The very claims that you make of people comming here for a new life applies to YOU but in the opposite direction. Just wait till your rose tinted glassed fog up when you get back to Blight, cos like you've said of other going for a visit is not the same as living their and you've not lived their for 9 years now and it sure has changed.
Just wait till winter comes on round and your central heating fails and you get a week of -10C day and night, thats real cold weather not the 5-10C we get here for a month or so but only at night.
I give you 6 months before you start missing Australia and the great climate down here.

Tax payers keep you useless , I have to earn my crust in a job thats way beyond you.
Worked 20 years in the UK and never had it bad Pal or had to hide in some no count goverment job.
Gets down to 1C in Perth but who cares the houses are draught boxes that would not meet the standards in the UK.
Get a life .

My house is no draught box and I still don't own a fire, just stick a pullover on when it starts getting chilly at night. But as it hits 20c every day in Brisbane my house warms up nicely during the day. Obviously the hovel you bought / built the vendor saw you comming and couldn't believe his luck.

I must have missed something over the weekend is our lovely PB now going to Moscow not Leicestershire. What about one of those little Kosac hats and a bottle of Vodka as a leaving gift. Been wondering what to buy him. :

As the high slipped south the frost and patchy freezing fog was displaced by mainly drier and milder conditions. Minus 9.9°C at Redhill on the 12th . Windy later with some hill and coastal fog in the west.
Redhill is in Surrey if my geography is correct. I remember well one Thursday night in Nov 88 or 89 woke up to power failure and 2 foot of snow covering most of the country, my gas cental heating was useless with no power and outside min temp was -10C. M1 was closed and M6 was giant traffic jam for about 3 days. Couldn't drive anywhere due to snow blocking all roads, survived using my living room gas fire untill power came back on Monday. This was in a town of 50,000 people in Leics.
I think this was the storm that brought the underground to a standstill because they said trains weren't designed for this type of snow. Snow got into the tracks of electric door and they wouldn't close these being one man operated trains.
Dotty are you sure you've ever lived in Blighty.
