RIP Maggie Thatcher.

Should there be a day-off work to mark this?

If that's what you truly think, then you must be of questionable intelligence.

Yet again you question the intelligence of anyone who has the temerity to disagree with you.Perhaps you should re-evaluate your own "questionable intelligence"?

Would that not be a reflection of their readership though?

I would have thought after The Times and FT, ( and possibly the Torygraph),The Guardian has the best educated readership of any British daily.

separate question Barn, do you automatically assume that best educated and cleverest are the same thing?
 
Of course not, can't embed via my phone.

I found it really interesting after it was posted in response to Gove's latest thing of improving teachers with performance related pay.

I read The Guardian and most CIFers still don't understand the causes of the current financial crisis five years after it started.

I will admit that their knowledge of subtitled black and white arthouse Eastern European cinema, expensive gastropubs and the current state of the property market in Provence and Tuscany is second to none.

I assume by your comment that you agree with MK's assertions that if the current City crew were replaced by under-motivated layabouts, the City might be performing better in that case?

I can't say I'm surprised by this seeing that you moved to a part of the world where part of the daily afternoon schedule involves "taking a nap"

Again, you shouldn't assume what I think.I happen to believe MK was making an ironic joke, rather than making a literal assertion.In any case, he's more than capable of enlighening us,himself if he wants to.

You also reveal your ignorance (and perhaps predjudice about Catalonia).
A good Catalan joke is relevant here.A Catalan businessman goes to some government offices, in Madrid in the early afternoon, and is suprised to find everything closed.He says to the cleaning lady."Don't they work here in the afternoons?" She replies:"Oh no,they don't come in the afternoons.It's in the mornings they don't work."

If you think that's what I really think then you're the dimwit.

You're motivated types are just greedy *******s who'd **** on their own grandmother for a bonus. Excuse me for finding that behaviour repulsive.

I work for an investment bank and I am a man of the people who lives to give.

We should be building bridges, not walls.

Well you said it, even as a throwaway statement/joke, it doesn't make any sense.

Actually your comment is somewhat insulting (which you probably meant it to be) to me as my Mother and Auntie decided to leave Essex some time ago and left my Grandmothers care to me. I go and visit her weekly to sort out bits she needs done around the house and take her shopping.

Just because I'm ambitious in my job, it doesn't mean I'm the same at home or in my family situation. I try to make as much time as possible for my little girl, but at the end of the day I have a job that means that I have to work late every now and then (without overtime pay) and don't end up seeing her as much as I'd like to. If I lost my job and struggled to find another, I'd be up the creek as I don't believe in taking handouts from the government, unlike you lefties who were born with your arms extended.

I'm certainly not greedy, I just want the best and am happy to work hard for it.

If got a pound for everyime I've heard "I don't believe in taking handouts from the government" I'd be slightly better off than I am now. If you ended up with no income, and you don't have any savings to fall back on (and frankly, why should you need to fall back on them), then beliefs or not, you're down the dole office.

Tell you what, if I lost my job, I, like millions and millions of others, would have absolutely no choice in matter.
 
Why the heck is this thread still going? The funeral is over, we didn't get a day off - surely end of story?
