In other areas you're talking about 50ft stretches that lead to nothing. it's like it's been put together by different companies that haven't spoken to each other. lt's the length of time they take to make it a shambles as well. It's almost amusing how bad it is. They will try to make an improvement but they just somehow miss the mark every time whether it's the materials or the layout. Just one thing but it's typical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In keeping with my 2020 resolution I'm going to challenge every whingeing post with these simple questions....How would you change/improve the situation ? Who would you rather see in charge and why ?

tirso Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I'm giving an honest opinion on my experiences with quite basic and essential services in Glasgow (in some cases for elderly people). I don't need to go into details for you or anyone else. Unacceptable services are just that. In some cases its laziness in others poor managment, in some poor design. I couldn't give a monkeys what political party they are when it comes to local services but some competition and accountability might help. If wanting decent services is a tirade so be it. Just for awareness your resolution is utterly facile. It's like a receiving a pizza without any toppings.. "Do you have some tangible solutions.??. Who do you want in charge.. ..whit..? Aye ok, no worries."Folk are allowed to expect better than crap.Quite a tirade that.

The last line of the headline is an unnecessary and irrelevant cheap shot, and the type of attitude shared among the studenty/Nando’s/dark fruits drinking Labour activists. It’s a big part of the reason Corbyn and Labour were hated.@ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strongbow Dark Fruits is (first and foremost) the drink of post-industrial wasteland towns whose names adorn Union Flags at England games and EDL marches. When I was a student people drank White Lightning and Glens Vodka (not mixed together, I hasten to add). That doesn't make those studenty drinks.

Although it’s definitely not the most popular Vodka. Dark Fruits is unquestionably a studenty drink up in Scotland. If you disagree you haven’t got a clue about student life I’m afraid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
