I know you're not!
I didn't mean to imply you were. I just wanted to explain my position. And I still don't think the government is trying to push everyone into the public sector, otherwise there'd still be enough jobs for everyone in the public sector. It's just that the public sector aren't loosing their jobs as quickly as everyone else.

Also I was just having a fun little jibe at lawyers on the basis of stereotypes, cos there seems to be loads around doing the same about public sector workers on the basis of sterotypes. And if we can't make fun of lawyers then what has the world come to?

well yes
this is very true.

it must be very irritating to be tarred with the "skiving public sector" brush when you work that hard. and some public sector workers are workshy - don't you want to kick them in the feck?

I would
If and when I ever come across them myself.

It's the people at my bank that really get me going. And my boyfriend's too come to mention it (Lloyd's fucking TSB - don't know their fucking arse from their elbow - at least 8 banking errors this year, and have tried to blame us for every one until we've pointed it out to them. Also, can't call back after 8pm - er, we're not back from work by then; can't call back the next day, can't call back at weekends; can't call back on your mobile number - it's your fucking error arghhhh!).

And the workshy conveyencers and estate agents that tried to spin us some bullshit about whether or not we were going to actually own the garden not affecting the property price (just nervous first time buyers apparently, because we expected the deeds to match up with the estate agent's spec). It took over six months to exchange, with no chain and the mortgage all agreed, because they kept forgetting what lies they had told. THESE are the kind of people I want to kick in the feck. Generally.
