I'm thinking of joining my local brigade so that I can do more window cleaning.

You'd be lucky! Most fire services have stopped people applying for jobs because the waitlist is so long already. Wonder why that is?

[Sean Kelly]

Get your own pension if you don't like it!!!

[andyM]

Don't know what they are moaning about?
Im sure they will be supplied with zimmer frames to get about.  

[Sean Kelly]

If you read into it, you'll see that our contracts have changed since joining and to work longer for a lesser pension which we pay into,

Why do people hate it when workers fight to protect their conditions?

Nothing wrong with throwing a cat in among the pigeons on a Friday afternoon.

[Geoff]

Anyway, they talk this way every year around bonfire night time.

Nothing changes.

Lazy work shy people them firemen.i think its disgusting what they get away with,they should be cleaning the streets instead of sitting on there backsides allday.

Fireman I know was working his days off doing building jobs, retired at 50, bought outright the home of his dreams in the location of his dreams, lives off his pension.

Fair play it him I say. Work hard, and smart, to get the things you desire in life if that's what you want.

[Geoff]

So that's a bit like what the teachers get up to.

[robert mitchell]

Anybody who slags off firefighters have all had the same chance of applying to join .

If you agreed to a mortgage and after paying in for fifteen years they told you your payments are going up , you have to pay for ten years longer and at the end you would only own 60% of your house , would you accept it with a smile on your face or would you fight it ?

They signed up to a pension and planned there life around it , the government are ripping up the contract and stitching people up massively.

The mp's pay and pensions have been looked after though !

[Geoff]

Anyone  who took advice that their financial future was guaranteed in the manner you describe should have their head checking, as past performance is not a guide to future performance!

Snouts in trough comes to mind.

And, as for teachers - the worst of the lot.

At least the ambulance drivers have been behaving ok lately.  As for the police, they are only one inch away from striking, aren't they?, the poor underpaid devils.

Shoot the lot of them, and bring in people who really care about the country, not their ruddy pay packets.

[robert mitchell]

Shoot them ?

Really ?

Giving away your level of intelligence there !

Whar do you know as fact about being a firefighter ?

The risks they take and the images that stay in your head forever ?
