I seldom shop these days in Poundstretcher but dare I say it a lot of poor folk do, many are faced with either there or nowhere. When a country is prosperous then people have money to spend in quality, when you are down in your uppers then you do not have the choice.<br />Slavery has been used in this country even when it was officially abolished outside of it. The Salt Workers of Prestonpans were slaves after they abolished it in the West Indies and the Royal Navy were stopping slave ships, if my memory serves me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03930463301985234273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-50179153212554960292015-09-18T11:22:39.626+01:002015-09-18T11:22:39.626+01:00Conan, I thin it would be back to the Job Centre a...Conan, I thin it would be back to the Job Centre and sanctioned for a month which I rather suspect would be worse. Here we were thinking we had got shot of slavery way back in the early 19th Century, no wonder those refugees with any sense do not want to come to Britain, so many of us want out of it as it is.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03930463301985234273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-70754376342147641762015-09-18T11:20:14.349+01:002015-09-18T11:20:14.349+01:00Looking at Aldi's advertisement for staff, the...Looking at Aldi's advertisement for staff, they pay better than the minimum wage, they also want workers who will put in hard graft but as many do already for the pittance paid I would say they are better employers. I bought a German Kitchen for my last house, my supplier had been to Germany before becoming employed by them. The German Company insist that their employees have time off, they are not worked to death as in this country. Having been in Germany as a tourist we really could do with learning how to run a country from them. No Nuclear bombs to pay for therefore the country is clean and there are no potholes in the roads. I have been in tiny villages and in large town some which were bombed flat during the last war, when I came home I compared Dunfermline High Street and it looks like it has been bombed and never rebuilt and that goes for bits of Kirkcaldy.
