With the amount of vacant houses in every city in the country there's no reason not to have a street for heroes in each of them. Maybe if the government stopped wasting money on s*** they could use more of it on those who deserve it.
Ive got really mixed feelings about the Help For Heroes charity. I do think its a good charity of course, helping lots of ex-servicemen that really need it. But I'm immensely frustrated that this should be the Governments job and it shouldn't require charity. Im also angry that lots of extreme right wing Political parties exploit the charities publicity for their own needs.

But agree, a good scheme. Empty houses in villages / towns / cities are a total waste and they seem to rapidly decline which impacts on the unfortunate local residents
Yes, definitely agree. Help For Heroes (and other charities) do incredible work but it's a job that they shouldn't have to do.

I'd put work Xmas parties in the message of hate thread <laugh>

We're already forced to spend a considerable amount of our life with colleagues let alone having to do it in our own time!

Nice - I'm public sector so we pay for our own. The boss usually buys the first round but that's about it.

We 'officially' get a meal and three free drinks. But the partners usually put their card behind the bar until everyone's f***ed.

Our Xmas party is s***, usually get 3 free drink tokens at a shitty bar hand picked by our Head of HR as somewhere she’d like to go that doesn’t interest anyone else.

We've always had a big blow out paid for by the company.

Basically involves a meal, some activity and then about £50 a head for drinks.

Never had a work Xmas party. Back in 2010 when it was my first Christmas there, a few of the 'senior' staff were told it was a party or a bonus that year and everyone opted for the bonus. Pretty glad they did to be honest. My mates that I worked with have moved on and I couldn't think of anything worse than a Christmas party now.
