    Not at all pal, it’s true trust I’m an ex cop with 14 years service but I’m now in the private sector earning more then what I did for an easier job in regards to my health and welfare.

    I’m not one is good and one is bad, I’ve worked with hard workers on both sectors.

    So before you go getting pissy I wasn’t as you can see slagging one out very the other.

    Unlike you and your strop.

    The likes of the Police and ambulance service and NHS may well be dealing with fatalities tonight but hopefully more then that keeping people safe.

    You’ve turned it Into some outraged Daily Mail reader rant and bringing in politics about pay rises.

    Have a word with yourself, you sound ridiculous
    Ive done no such thing. All i asked was why such jobs werent mentioned - it's as if they aren't important.

    I've tried really hard to work out what you are trying to say with your penultimate paragraph but I just cant. I take it they didn't have a written exam at Hendon.

    You want have it both ways .

    On one hand you are saying those who make it in to cover shifts are angels (presumbly to cover those who can't make it in), whereas those who stay at home (because they are salaried and don't need to get in) don't have the same obligation.

    It surely follows that the public sector workers who cannot get in, and thus needs his shift covered, is in the same boat as the other stay at home salaried workers.

    There will be plenty of workers from both sectors doing their normal jobs tomorrow.

    Phone screen broken so hence my typos.

    My point being is that the OP started a thread saluting the ordinary people in the public sector doing their job tonight in adverse weather the like of which is rarely seen here.

    You throughout have interjected with ‘what about this, what about that and then accused me of saying public sector all good private sector all bad. Which was ironic nonsense on your part as you’ve constantly expressed faux outrage.

    Extremely childish and most others on here I’d say think you’re looking a bit silly.

    Its not faux outrage, youre well aware of sludge's stance.

    The UK comes to a standstill whenever we have a little bit of snow. It makes you wonder how Canada, Norway and Switzerland all manage. They just get on with it, why can't we? I've been out in it several times today and tonight. If you drive for the conditions you will be alright.

    We aren't geared up for it. If we want those extra services on tap we need to pay more in tax.

    I struggled dragging my drunken father home through the snow from the pub tonight, and two seperate men saw me struggling and helped along the way, and that made a huge difference. There are still good people about!

    It seems that people of that political persuasions and their endless tedious derogatory posts about the public sector could do well to educate themselves with what public sector workers have to put up with.

    I admire anyone public or private sector who works hard, can’t fault the staff at co-op Rhwbina today for opening up and working hard.

    Sadly our outraged public sector haters will never be dissuaded from their usual bollocks post.

    I wasn't having a go at the public sector, I was asking why non public sector workers who also managed to keep going were ignored by Sludge.

    I know a few coppers , one of em is a Tory the other labour but this thread wasn't about politics , other silly planks have made it that way

    But if they want to ? Then here we go ....... Theresa may was yesterday praising the emergency services police , nurses etc and she has frozen their pay for sake , no wonder most of them vote Labour

    You’re right Slufge. I saw it as non political. As I explained earlier I agreed with what you say I’ve got good mates from my days in the force and I wouldn’t have fancied a night shift like last night.

    I’m my own boss self employed in the private sector but doesn’t mean that I can’t show some empathy and affection for all my old public sector mates

    Re: Traffic cops, ambulance staff, hospitals , highways workers

    My daughter is a doctor at the Heath. She's on 14 hour shifts all this weekend. She tried and failed to get her car out to get from the Bay to the hospital. She phoned them and they said they'd get someone to pick her up and that she could stay overnight. When she got there they denied all knowledge of this so at the moment she's faced with a long, cold and potentially dangerous walk home, before grabbing some sleep and then doing the same tomorrow. Take a bow Cardiff and Vale Health Board

    If I had a 4x4 mate I’d gladly give her a lift home.

    I have heard of people helping out in this way over Cardiff

    I have read it and QM has come inwith a stupid generalisation which is utter bollocks.
    Sludge praised a few workers, he has waded in with some utter ****ing nonsense and I’ve no idea why you’re trying to defend him as he’s made an arse of himself

    As I stated earlier as you’ll see I was full of praise for the staff of my local co-op fair play to them.

    You and I are on the same page then. By gripe was with sludge's polarised view, as I've said previously.

    The real heroes are the drug dealers though. My mate tells me they make it through no matter what.

    Jesus Christ.

    He mentioned a few different types of worker.

    Shall we all have a checklist at hand for future posts? As not to discriminate.. or can't simple people just post whatever they want to without a bloody outcry.

    I’ve actually been looking out the window seeing which neighbours roofs aren’t snow covered and thinking ‘hello what’s in that attic’ 😂😂

    My daughter's partner is a paediatric nurse and he got up at 5am this morning to walk 1hr45mins to the hospital where he works (they live in Bristol).
    Sorry if this is non political and relevant to the original post.
