Would do a light switch/socket for a Hospital or care home/fire station free of charge, other government buildings it would be £-depending how much red tape and hassle they put me through and if they messed me about for their own amusement I would add 50%....

The reason they get away this is because the hospitals are run by trusts, they build the hospitals and lease them to the NHS but all the maintenace is carried by the trust and they charge the NHS ( its how they make their money )

 

[thekingiam]

if the government allows private firms to build hospitals and lease them to the government then those companies are going to charge inflated maintanance costs as interest on there investments ( although i do beleive 300 pounds could of been over all costs if encountered a problem of access and time incurred etc).
this government has got to stop the bul**** political correctness crap that is costing us the tax payers,

first of all stop just any tom dick or harry coming to this country even on holiday to get their operations done for nothing this is not racism just common sense (no other country has this type of open system) and although i empithise with any one with problems abroad ,i have to say that some countries profit by not having a free health service by highly less tax paid by the peoples living there.
we are the only european country that i know of with this open door ( i might be wrong? ) if i travel abroad in europe i need to take a card with me incase of hospital treatment for a discount on the price not free what ever i want during my stay! also its common sense to travel with insurance and basicly because of our unique set up in this country i beleive all travellers into this country should have recognisable propper insurance.

 

[thekingiam]

i am waiting for someone to tell me ime wrong?

 

[thekingiam]

I rather you proved you're right by providing a link to back up your arguement. The NHS doesn't provide free health care to people who aren't UK citizens. I know that back in the good old days there used to be an agreement between numerous European countries about health care for people who were on holiday, you could get an E111 form from the NHS which covered you abroad for emergency treatment. Other Euro countries had a similar thing for their citizens traveling to the UK.

Ok will look into European countries entitlements, what about the rest of the world! Any uk citizen can marry any forign person and they then can claim British citizenship and the benefits assosiated without having contributed into our tax system, some ethnick groups do this as part of their culture? Usualy by marying close relations,cousins etc which has been proved to put a strain on nhs and other bodies by there children obtaining congenital defects asociated with this type of intermariage system.
Never mind the fact that by the majority of these people only marying people from their own ethnick background and usualy only to introduce more ethnicks into this country is in itself a rasist comunity.
I must state that this info Is only what I have read in national newspapers tv and the Internet any actual evidence i cannot be bothered to look for as I only have to look out side my front door.
I hope I haven't ofended anyone and hope to recieve any objections open mindedly.

One on the news this morning MOD have said "it cost £22 to change a light bulb that costs 65 pence" because of a contract signed under labour

 

[mogga]

Sounds like it, remeber when I worked in a shipyard that only did military work a MK socket would cost £2.50 normally but because it had a NATO Serial Number the price charged for it was 5 times that.

did anyone see the SUN today MOD £22 for a light bulb thats takin the pure yellow stuff so it is probably got an MOD seriel number engraved on it

because of eu regs normal pearl light bulbs are becoming extinct so in the future everyone with lovely chandeliers will want the old pearl ones so their is going to be a black market of descent bulbs,so who knows what people are going to pay therefore i recomend cameron takes this bulb out replace it with a crapy energy efficient one and wait untill he can make a profit on the said bulb. gordon brown may have been more savy with monney than anyone gives him credit for, just wish he would of bought more of the bulbs then we could of sold more!
