On A Happier Note

[Guinness]

i deffinatley have, is that relevant?
the fact that tghey are wearing a mask that is now way out of date as far as pop culture goes
was lee francis former personna he moved on from that around 5 years ago, long time in pop culture that

Yeah it's relevant, may be why she is being so cynical....you however have zero excuse....

So the costumes are old...owner of the shop probably saw them going cheap at some auction or other and had an idea about putting them to good use and employing a couple of kids.

But hey if it floats your boat to think of a couple of hard working youngsters as con artists, its your perogative.

that not what i originally said is it now, another who needs to actually read, i questioned the reason and offered 2 of my alternatives for the reason, no one picked up on the other reason, here is another the employer may actually think its more eye catching

Oh I can read.....

'however the more cynical side thinks, its so the social dont know they are working and signing on'

Like I said..if it floats your boat etc...

 

[Less]

Do you know I've been in bother with folk on here for posting the opposite of what they want to think, but when I started this thread about young people out in all weathers I didn't think it would be anything but praise for them being in public view working hard at probably a job they had to have several GCSE's just to get an interview, just show's how nasty some of our members can be, I'd hoped for encouragement so that others might follow their example.

Yeah I know, more fool me.

However, the cynic in me wonders if you only work after the social is closed for the weekend

Yep you do go a long way off course just to hold a grudge, do you sit on your own at break time at work? Probably nothing to do with your deodorant, just that people don't like you.



P.S. anytime you're ready Mr. Mod prune the thread down so sensible people can say, 'yes kids of today only need the chance to work'.

 

[susie123]

Have you ever seen these kids? Or are you simply assuming that they wear cheap masks from the pound shop?

Actually no, I haven't seen them as I live 40 miles away and come to Accrington once in a blue moon. My thoughts occurred to me as soon as I first read Less's post, and before I knew about the masks, costumes or whatever.

My cynical mind wondered if they might possibly, just possibly be being exploited - or possibly not. If the latter is the case, then good on them for having a job and I am in full agreement with Less - but surely someone has to point out the possible flaws in any scenario?

You do realise that gem will probably be removed with the rest of the tat that has ruined this thread?

Meanwhile karma on it's way for it.

 

[MargaretR]

Nasty remarks = 'Fun thread'

I just don't see any humour in these so called 'fun threads' you inflict on us now and again.

 

[Less]

No it wasn't started as anything other than a thread praising a section of society that usually gets rubbished as having less work than a sick note, I could fill a server with how I might think they (youth) are being exploited it's one of my pet hates.

well done however for your sudden bit of back peddling, maybe I've also given you a dig in the past that has left a festering wound?

If so I won't apologise, just ask you to reply in the thread concerned NOT bring it onto the rest of the site.

No Less, the only festering wound is in my backside and that's nothing to do with you.

I hope I'm woman enough to take part in this forum without being cowed by anyone - take it on the chin and come back fighting!

I back pedalled as you put it because I don't really know what's going on here, it was just a thought that came into my head when I read your post.

because of those masks worn by the billboard advertisers craig david is wanted on 3 counts of benefit fraud

seriously though as they are out all weathers i dare say the masks keep them not only annonymous but dry and warm too

must be flipping boring but at least their earning a few quid

A happier note ... mmm When I read the thread opener, I expected to see a few positive comments about how reassuring it is to see that some young people are getting out and doing a menial job in tough times (well, tough in most of Europe) rather than sitting on their asses waiting for society or something like that to support them. But this? I don't know ... I think it's a positive to find that some kids still have that old-fashioned Lancashire work ethic ... you know, "when the going gets tough; the tough get going" sort of thing. Ah well, back to cleaning guns. Anyone wanna buy a Winchester 94, chambered for 44 magnum? Excellent condition. Great for moose.

 

[Less]

I don't really know what's going on here,

That was obvious with your first post in this thread, but you do tend to attempt to know, even when you don't, perhaps that's the Scientific learning?

Although I believe the real scientists claim that the most profound statement they can make is:-
'I don't know', (inevitably they go on to give their opinion anyway).

Thank you both very much, when I posted the thread, these were the kinds of responses I expected, I can't understand how such an innocent thread could cause such aggro.

in all fairness as soon as i saw less and happy in the same topic i knew it was a recipe for disaster

the two just dont gel

 

[Wynonie Harris]

Good on 'em I say! I know a young person who does the same thing in Manchester and he puts up with the mindnumbing boredom, sudden downpours, abuse from passing winos and derelicts (God help anyone in downtown Accy ) just so he can pay his way in the world.

Have total and utter cynicism for those in authority including politicians, both national and local, but always like to think the best of ordinary folk.

I can understand that, perhaps I should have signed up with a second username, then the thread might have stood a chance.
