Working in shelf stacking myself in a local Supermarket around the confectionary aisle .
School children before start come in and spend £2 on a bag of sweets and chocolates before lessons others buy chocolate cookies a quid each from the bakery . no problem .

Unite , TGWU once know as my then Union in TATA have decided not to proceed with Industrial Action , thank goodness for that .
TATA would have locked the gates after the staff walked out , cheerio , our job now easier .
It galls me to say it but ARC is their vision with a soon to be defunct BOS and Blast gone .
Somehow keep the Industry and jobs in PortTalbot and local business keep going .
Blast Furnaces 4+5 on my M4 travels are still a must look at sight . |

For now my X will not go against the Two main Political Parties , Red are are losing my vote .
Just would like Stamer to outline his Council Tax plan , now he wants to release prisioners eaelier from their sentences , a no vote for me on both issues , no plan on controlling the small boats and illegal immigrants , add refugees for balance .
Somehow Sunak with a very expensive PR team are swaying my thinking .
Bojo on a clip broadcast on Newsnight earlier looked like he needed a haircut taken with a mild cup of tea , he was so OTT .

Corbyn blanked me once on a PR visit to the TATA plant I was then working in .
He seemed to be cared about Steel making in Wales , say hello then when you walk by .
He lost my vote that day , a nod or small gesture might have swung my thinking . |

Watch the road rage of drivers stuck behind a car travelling at 18 mph , accident waiting to happen when a chancer overtakes .
A road by me down to 40mph , good stretch of tarmac , few blind spots but a good road .
Tailgaters itching to get up to where they want to go , someone tottering along at 35 mph .
Get out of my way I am coming through , oncoming motorists beware . |

Will watch Coldplay on catch up at a later time , not for me but a family member went to Cardiff few years ago and loved their show that night .
Some reports earlier suggested a lot of the acts were playing with backup audio as a fail safe for technical problems , must be an option for a turnover of so many performers on a stage , sound checks must be a problem in a short space of time to get it right .
Most of the big arena shows I attend now , marvel at an OAP with a voice still sounding the same now even as I remember it from my 33 rpm vinyl , techonology , got to love it .
Tinternet now claims Taylor Swift lip synched this her entire World Tour .
Shania Twain legends spot Sunday , Dolly Parton nailed that gig a few years ago . |

The PR exercise over Gethin and his hangers on trip to Mumbai was laughable .
It was a token gesture , paid by us of course to save our heritage in Steel , failed .
But a face to face with TATA would save Wales our steelmaking , nice freebie holiday .
All Politicians are false , Drakeford was useless , this guy has taken it to another level .
Even Liz Truss called it a day when she knew she was not capable , ruined the economy but said out of her depth here , time to go and we are all in the UK paying for her mess .
Cardiff getting a new bus stop costing close to £ 100m , really cannot make it up . |

Tenerife want to be seen as a go to destination tor tourists , no iffy deals here mate .

Tata had threatened to pull out of the UK en bloc if they could not get any more subsidies .
Seems there is half a billion waiting for them when this part closure starts , although this was offered by the current Government ,

Importing HRC from India .
China will soon be eyeing potential opportunities to pump their metal into the UK .
Sure them Countries give a damn about their carbon footprint on the World .
This decision has nothing to with being Greener .
TATA has wanted to cut jobs for years due to financial reasons , to many high wages paid .
Look forward to Zero Contract offers added to cheaper labour costs going forward . |

As soon as Industirial Action was called for the writing was on the wall for the Plant .
TATA needed any excuse to put another nail in the coffin , this was just it .
I know they have been importing Hot Rolled Coil from India lately , the incoming quality on the product has been excellent too from what I am hearing .
Looks like the end of Welsh carbon steel is nearly on us .

Laudrup , Martinez and Brendon Rodgers , managers come gone moved on to better roles .
Cooper , Potter now Russell Martin all Premiership level , we had them all once .
How now we cannot attract a forward thinking manager , out of the box tactician .
Back in the dark days we took a punt on John Toshack ftom Cardiff .
First Division football followed some 5 years later . Swans v Arsenal , never happen .
Win at all costs now , short term contract for a new manager plus limited budget .
Chelsea are throwing out 7 years contracts to Managers , fail after a few games pack your suncream and sit on a beach for a few years . |

Great list of artists who left us far too early .
Karen Carpenter , health wise or other issues surronding her loss of life , what a voice .
Badfinger were a bit before my time .
Man at the Patti Pavillion , Deke Leonard included , vinyl 33 album in the plastic sleeve
cover them days , loved annoying the parents playing Bananas very loud .
Many years later after a break up , my ex threw all my vinyl classics in a skip for the tip .

Ad Hoc poll at the start of this poll suggests Reform / Coservative are ahead of Labour in our thinking around here .
Interesting to see if this thinking now carries over to the Ballot Box .
Is the Red Rosette losing its grip in Wales . Boundary changes have also brought Brecon into the Pontardawe area for electors , Yellow / Blue voters now taking out the Red Neef vote . |

Opening article on this topic is a real eyeopener of background issues today .
Media reports indicate a youngster out for a lads weekend away on a rave ends up in the middle of nowhere later , flip flops and T shirt his only possessions , no water or phone .
Some alleged media reports suggest a 40 year old and 18 year old pair of men in the area were questioned , released and done a runner the next day back to the UK .
Appreciate a full and thorough police investigation needs to be done . speculation will be rife after that report , sad reading over that particular case .
Opinions then turn to revenge , family feuds and innocent people caught up in a bigger and more sinister culture around us .
Cannot see a happy ending here for the missing boy . |

First mental picture im my mind on the news of his passing was him as Sgt. Oddball .
Sure his back catalogue goes way deeper than Kellys Heros , but that is how I will remember him .
The Three main leads in that film , him alongside Clint and Kojak , perfect casting . |

One of the reasons my vote is looking less likely to go to Labour .
The Blue side of Westminster are just as bad , promises over the control of the small boats Resettlement agreements with Countries more than happy to take our money for a zero return to us , the taxpayer .
Have voted in the Straw Poll above , needless to say neither of the above feature . |

Always thought whoever could get a grips with the small boats issue I would consider that Party in my final decision at the ballot box .
Now it seems daily record numbers are crossing and looks like The Tories have chucked the towel in on any chances of contolled immigration , a now lost cause to implement .
No help from The French either yet they were quick enough to take UK money promising to clamp down on their side or the Water .
Likewise Rwanda , took our resettlement money and nothing in return .
Uk really are top notch at throwing money at lost causes , our money of course . |
