I have suffered that scenario Lawrence, in fact with both my parents,
while in hospital, shortly before they died. I felt exactly the same as
you. There are incompetent people in most jobs. I did, however, come
across some wonderful and caring nurses, that against all the odds,
seemed to bring a ray of sunshine to their patients. That's how they all
should be.

I appreciate that but really you are saying anything goes if the person
doesn't mean it. Again, late night maybe, but The One Show is on at 7pm
and as such it has items about wildlife, gadgets even the weather. Just
the reason my 9 year old grandson sometimes watches it. My daughter is
old fashioned in that she tries to encourage him to be kind and respect
other people. There was a time when disabled people were called
"spastics" and there was no real intent that it meant that but it still
wasn't nice.

Well with the NHS wards every time I've had to visit someone they all
seem to be sitting around the nurses' station chatting and when you
approach them to ask about the condition of the person you are
visiting this is the sequence

1) They ignore you until you run out of politeness *and just as you
are about break a habit of a life time and interrupt their ever so
banal conversation they move to phase two

2) In a steely monotonous tone that conveys the total opposite of what
the words that struggle to get out of their mouths through clenched
teeth they ask

"Can I help you" in a manner very reminiscent of a demented Dalek.

3) You now are clenching your teeth, as you are thinking why the
bleedin' hell have I been standing here for the last five minutes
whilst you've been chatting and ignoring me. Of course you can
bleedin' help me.
*Just note that at this stage you still naively think they can help
you.

4) Yes thanks my name is Lawrence Jenkins and my Uncle James Jenkins
is in that bed over there not very well and seemingly in a deep sleep.
I believe he is in with a severe chest infection. I wanted to know how
is and the prognosis.

5)They astonishingly reply " Who are you , we just can't give that
information out to anyone. *"

6) You are now getting very irritated as a simple inquiry into a loved
one's health has now turned into Tinker Tailor, Soldier , Spy. *So
once again to avoid a stroke you try and stay calm and repeat
question four.
" Yes thanks my name is Lawrence Jenkins and my Uncle James Jenkins is
in that bed over there not very well and seemingly in a deep sleep. I
believe he is in with a severe chest infection. I wanted to know how
is and the prognosis."

7) Just as you though things couldn't get any worse they say "Sorry
but we can't give out that information as its confidential"

Okay now your gasket its ready to blow at the fact that as his nephew
they won't give you that information of how he is and secondly why is
this information deemed so blood confidential for Christ's
sake!!!! * * * *........ *move on to 7

7) Now your blood is boiling at the sheer ignorance and stupidity of
these morons and you now start to speak in a loud voice " What do you
bloody mean, I'm his nephew and what's so damaging to the security of
Great Britain and my Uncle if you disclose the seriousness of his
condition to me For God's Sake this is pathetic I've been sitting at
his bedside for half and hour looking at his notes and no one has
approached me to tell me otherwise this is pathetically moronic don't
you see the irony in what you are bloody saying. Now comes 8 the
clincher for all this brainwashed twits.

8) "If you are going to talk to me like that then I will have to ask
you to leave the ward" . By now totally exasperated you try and calm
down and say look I'm very sorry but I only want to know about my
uncles condition. The staff nurse then says "You'll have to arrange to
speak to the doctor". Once again with gritted teeth you're thinking
how can these nurses attend to patients on the ward all day and not
have some idea about the patient's condition but still *hide behind
the wall of nonsensical confidentially even though they apparently
know sweet FA.
Now this is all based on personal experience.

Sorry those that support public sector workers. *Pensions liability is
growing out of control and they without any question of a doubt have a
fantastic deal even after the cuts. *I've never heard one public
sector union worrying about the fact that in the private sector
employers when pushed will only usually match 6% of the employees
contribution where with the Superannuation final salary schemes the
employed *read state tax payer) puts in I believe 16% into the
individual pension contribution with a pension guaranteed no mater
what the markets do.
Funnily enough the AGW administration and awareness comes from the met
O, the environment agency, H&S E and so on yet all these people want
to emaciate private business with greenhouse taxes, penalties and a
contracting world economy yet they all are squealing like little piggy
over something that hardly affects them.

I have to say over the years with the way the elderly are treated in
hospital, the uselessness of parasitic local authorities and teachers'
that can't get kids to learn I have the same sympathy with them as
they have for workers in the private sector and business's that pay
their wages.- Hide quoted text -

Unbelievable far-right wing, grumpy old man trash. To be ignored.

Emigrate Lawrence. Find a better country, as you obviously hate
everything about this one.

Is it though, in this instant. Certain things are, in my opinion,
politically neutral. Like seeing loved ones mistreated in hospital as
Lawrence and for that matter I have. It is wrong whatever your politics
may be.

nah, you do it
far better that way
how about north korea
i can get you a ticket from russia

I quite enjoy his sense of "humour". He's a breath of fresh air compared to
the rest of the cringing "yes personalities" the BBC keep foisting on us.

So long his "shoot all strikers" list includes Wayne Rooney, I'm 100% behind
him.

I'm unsure whether JC knows what he's fully doing, or that he's a type
of person that can't help speak before he thinks through the consequences.

Either way, the question it raises is, do poe face unionists know what
satire is? His comment on PS workers was obviously said in jest.

I agree Col, it was a general daft comment, that anyone would expect of
Clarkson. He was pointing his finger at PS workers in general. Of
course, the problem with this country is that causing offence has become
a taboo.
