Perhaps cars could be fitted with cow catcher type scoops, like trains, to pick up any lazy old ladies or silly children trying to make it across the road in the absence of a safe crossing?Mrs Angryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00586223909475832791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371203489316363738.post-25801379923606575532012-03-12T15:04:42.546+00:002012-03-12T15:04:42.546+00:00Since it's Bash Tom Davey Day, my attention is...Since it's Bash Tom Davey Day, my attention is drawn to comments by Professor of Gerontology Sarah Harper:<br /><br /><i>"In the 1980s, 11,000 men in their early 60s were dying each year from heart disease. By 2000 this had halved. Furthermore, male deaths in these ages from cancer had gone down by one-third. With stroke it was two-thirds. What was behind these dramatic changes? Simply, the arrival of the first generation of male non-smokers at old age. In 1971, half the UK male population was dead by their mid-70s; now nearly half are still alive in their mid-80s."</i><br /><br />The ship may be on the rocks, but Tom the Cabinet Boy hopes for success in his day job, since his efforts will reduce the pressure from the elderly on council finances, since there will not be so many of them.baarnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12301292285255035403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371203489316363738.post-26405535857852966422012-03-12T12:31:38.950+00:002012-03-12T12:31:38.950+00:00"the accompanying officer's report, which...<i>"the accompanying officer's report, which pointed out such a decision would be considered 'irrational'."</i><br /><br />A brave remark. Perhaps officers could add that word, by default, to ALL policy decisions emanating from the cabinet.<br /><br />What, incidentally, does the cabinet think would be their workload, if the oneBarnet scams, sorry schemes, actually happen? <br /><br />The new Barnet administration of 2014, elected in a landslide by grateful citizens, is led by Master Tom Davey. As a sign of his increasing maturity, he gives up his pedal car, and the piece of string on his gloves that passes through his coat so he doesn't lose them. <br /><br />He arranges cabinet meetings to be held outdoors, in one of the empty East Barnet car parks, so that everyone can smoke. Meetings go down to only two a year, merely to provide a little "supervision" to the long-term contracts that smoothly and efficiently provide the best council services in London.<br /><br />Such masterful success at such a young age!baarnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12301292285255035403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371203489316363738.post-13842089558960387162012-03-12T12:13:22.600+00:002012-03-12T12:13:22.600+00:00No Mrs Angry I think Robert has got it absolutely ...No Mrs Angry I think Robert has got it absolutely correct.
