Erm, lorries don't drive themselves. this is a bulky item to move - 6x1 tonne sand bags full would easily fill the back of a transit van.
Even as a part load, I wouldn't get change out of £50-£60 IMO
6p off diesel and petrol for next 3 months.....

Yeah, we only got ours because Woman has MS and lost the sight in one eye. The high seating helps her out, and the road presence gives her some confidence back. She adjusted very well to learning to drive with one eye and now she's settled I can barely detect the difference, but her confidence took a hammering and she became nervous miss marple, but the Discovery has cured that. I was all in the mind, but sticking her in a truck worked.

Jesu Christo, someone must be on minimum wage if they think you guys are overpaid!

Ah in Linford world all civil and public servants should be sacked and the work taken on by immigrants in the private sector on minimum wage. That would leave us more money spare to bolster the uncompetitive manufacturing industry in this country against the Chinese and other sub-continental and far eastern workers who seem to be able to deliver a better product at a cheaper price.

The salary from Public service is usually accompanied by a big fat pension entitlement which is worth a lot more than the subs paid by the workers. Printing money through quantitive easing helps to ease the burden on the tax payer, but at the cost that all imports (including oil) have risen from weakening the value of sterling against foreign currency.
Blair had engineered this country into a ridiculous position in regard to its obligations to the public sector workers in an attempt to buy votes, and the current lot have a very difficult task trying to unravel it all.

Strangely enough, being reasonably well educated in the state sector, yes I do have a pretty good idea how it works. I have my doubts about what your sources tell you about how the public and civil sectors work but we've been over that before, no real point in doing it again.

The average public sector worker earns 5% less than their private counterparts, and that gap is widening.
The average public sector pension pays £4200 a year.
It might be a gravy train for council chief executives, or MPs, but for workaday joes its nothing to get a sweat over.

You don't accept what I said, and seem to have little understanding of how trade works.
In the real world, we have to create income by working for it to get 'budgets' to spend rather than badgering the treasury for more money.

Ah you see, you have this idea that when a Govt Dept asks the Treasury for money, it says yes. That doesn't quite happen.
Trade works by producing something that someone wants at a price that they are willing to pay for it. Simples isn't it? Why else do I own a Sony TV? It's not because it was cheap.

Give it up Drago, all public sector workers live in big houses with huge pension pots just waiting for us to retire. We also don't actually do any work.

Note to self - badger the treasury for more money when I'm forcibly retired in 4 years and expected to survive on a government pension.
Further note to self - forget that, just put my energy into getting another job, although someone with restricted use of an arm full of titanium thanks to doing that government job will have a restricted choice.
Final note to self - become a member of the Jeremy Kyle generation, and go badgering the treasury for more money...
