Not while one-eyed Gordy is in power.
He's Scottish y'know
We really should consider having an Englishman running England. Labour are slowly turning the country into a desperate hole full of scavengers and scroungers, all at the expense of everything good and proper.
Blame the voters.

This has got little , if anything, to do with Gordy.
The EA claim to have reached agreement with the unions who represent the staff, and , if that is indeed the case, then that is all that matters.
The newspaper article seems to suggest that the SOS campaign consider they should have been a party to the agreement which is clearly a nonsense.
Either the staff accept the agreement or they do not, in which case, presumably, the unions would not have agreed on their behalf.

I really feel for those lock keepers and families who are passionate about what they do and how they really portray a positive image about boating on what must be some of the most enjoyable cruising grounds around. What really gets on my goat is the other lock keepers who really don't seem to give a damn and seem so hard done by as they go about tending to other business when you come through a lock when no other boat has been through in the previos hour and treats you with disdain when you do...
I would, and do, support the whole lock keepers as a whole, but there are a significant number who I think should just move on and find something that they would rather do. There is a young lock keeper on our stretch who really seems to take great joy in doing anything except offering a friendly, efficient service that we normally expect from our more seasoned keepers, and I really wonder why we need to put with level of disdain as we are the paying customer... Please, if you really want our support, just make us feel that we are a valued customer, surely that can't be too much to ask? I would be more inclined to support you if that was the case.
Aaahh, feel better now getting that off my chest, armour plating ready for broadside replies, or does anyone else feel this way?

There's good 'uns and bad 'uns and even brilliant ones. Same as in all walks of life (thinking of PC Shiny Buttons).

Thats not what I heard. I heard you found one legless, asleep and dead to the world. So you had your wicked way with him then felt guilty so left him a bottle of Brandy. Next time you went through his lock he wasn't passed out but you still felt guilty so offered him another bottle. To which he said "no thank you, Brandy makes my Bum sore"
