Are The Youth Of Today No Good Twats?

The latest European education league tables are a bit worrying. Our little darlings are bottom of the whole pile.

 Successive Tory Education ministers to blame or the youngsters themselves? Or parents?

Or something else?

Ha ha. RAF pension plus a smaller private one'll do me. Anyway Call Me Dave said I'd get about £140 a week in todays terms for a state pension.

Just because somebody refuses to do the shittest jobs in society doesn't mean they have an inflated opinion of themselves.

We're not talking the shittest jos in society, we're talking about basic stuff that any young person has to do to learn the ropes. When I first started out I was ready to do anything even though I had a PhD.

They don't want to be a servant anymore, they tell you. Does that piss you off? If so, at what point has a person earned the right to pick and choose the work they do?

I'd ask them why the fook they applied for an office junior role. But it doesn't piss me off, but if they don't want to be a servant and not take orders then they should start their own fooking company.

You're right Nat, some of the shift less young bucks I work with have to be told to breathe!
