Many congratulations to Sudbury Council who according to reports have not only solved all important problems within their area but also all areas of concern of their residents and businesses. Because now they have apparently got onto looking at the things that people might just take offence at by banning the use of the universal 'two fat ladies' for number 88 in the local bingo sessions.

Maybe they took their advice from the loony Luton Council.

How about cancelling Christmas next year in case non-christians get offended?

My wife has been offered a job in a care home which she is itching to get to start. One problem. You have to get a full CRB check done which in this modern technological world takes two to three weeks to complete. What do you think they have to do. I reckon press a button.

Why do I think this. Well all you have to do is pass a police car who from your number plate know who you are, what you have done, how many times you have accidentally dropped a crisp on the pavement or other heinous crime. However anyone in the civil service has a public duty to do everything a maximum expense in the slowest time, whilst moaning how busy and underpaid they are compared with the private sector.

What do they do all day. From the evidence I have seen, chat about last night's soaps, send joke or warning emails to all and sundry and generally look busy whilst doing nothing. Oh apart from near the end of a budget year desparately trying to spend the remainder so that they so not lose it next year!!

In return they get not startling but good salaries, cast iron pensions, little chance of losing their position even if they are useless, regular training.

Anyway everyone knows what I mean! Unless they are a blinkered civil servant or of course a politician who are even worse!!!

Enough rambling for now!
