Nothing works anymore in the U.K.
Discussion
Window cleaner said to me this morning nothing works in the U.K. since Covid people just don’t want to put in the hard graft anymore. Made me think
You can’t see a GP. Plod won’t investigate if your car gets stolen or your house gets broken into ( unless you are a footballer). Every call centre has people working from home they tell you how important your call is but leave you hanging on for an hour only to be greeted by someone working from their kitchen table who can’t deal with your issue.
Bad luck if you need to go to hospital don’t wait for an ambulance as you might die whilst waiting or if you do wait expect to be on a trolley for 12 hours.
Many Tradespeople don’t turn up when they say they will. Firms don’t want to take on apprentices as they want to be CEO after 2 weeks and rarely turn up for work 5 days in a row. Just not worth the effort of employing them.
Sick leave is now seen as part of your holiday entitlement
Big business turns itself inside out with ridiculous training modules
Banks no longer think they have to be on the High Street
We have endless TV Channels but you scroll through and there’s nothing worth watching
The news is now a lesson in political correctness must show someone who claims they can’t afford to feed the kids and you think yeh right pull the other one.
The press want to fill endless pages with Prince Harry, who cares what he says just get a proper job instead of making millions from the institution you seem to hate
In the meantime we pay more and more tax for worse services.
Strikes who cares nothing works to start with so we don’t really notice if people go on strike.
See Prof Whitty now saying more people will now die of cancer and heart disease than normal due to lockdown. Genius!
Still maybe we will win the World Cup bring back 1966 was life simpler ?
Wouldn’t change under a new government the country has gone soft attitudes have changed hear the same from friends in Germany and France

They don't.
HTH.
I mostly agree they don't. Except my aged relatives all, still, only bank in the branch. I have done what I can to educate them on the virtues of the internet & online banking, but it's got to a point where I think the chance of them transferring their life savings to a nigerian prince is too high.HTH.

So what do you think the solution is?You can’t see a GP. Plod won’t investigate if your car gets stolen or your house gets broken into ( unless you are a footballer).

How many variations of this topic are you going to make?
(checks OP history)Yeah....someone who feels they have to have a grumble.
About once every week, by the look of things....although to be fair, I've only gone back a few months there
OP - cheer up, things ain't all as bad as you seem determined to make them feel. Are you one of these newspaper readers
What gives you joy in your life?
Maybe post something positive about that - it might help your mental health
