Wow.

I knew what you were referring to bob. When I was working in Bristol I'd pick up my prescription. Why is that so hard to believe?
I will leave you work out just how serious I was regarding the empty shelves in supermarkets. As Abraham Lincoln said 'dont believe everything you read on the internet'

So you have a sense of entitlement even during atrocious weather conditions when many are affected?

As for the 'myriad of reasons' remarks - again, in spite of what they might claim, none of those reasons supersede their principal objective of tucking the folding stuff into their arse pocket, i.e. wonga and filthy lucre... terms I've used for the exact same but more polite terms as income, remuneration, etc.
You've interpreted my words correctly. It's a job nothing more, nothing less. If I described myself as anything else in relation to it I'd be dishonest.
Here's the thing though, I wouldn't judge everyone on your own low morals. There are a number who undertake their roles for altruistic reasons (I don't understand it eitherand prepared to act professionally and put in the extra effort to ensure they are there for others.
C'mon let yourself go and give those daft sods a nod of respect they deserve. You cynical misery guts.
