on the boom bloated pay packets while thousands of workers,

union
demands are in effect reducing jobs.

1790, reports the Mr Sellers has a Newfoundland dog and a old
raven who
have fallen deeply in love with each other and never desire to
be
apart, the bird can bark like the dog and hoards food for the
dog when
he is away; Francis Kilvert in his diary, April 7th 1872 wrote
Colonel
Pearson gave us some of his Crimean reminiscences, most of the
English
officers could speak French. Hardly one of the French officers
could
speak English. The Russian officers could speak both French and
English
fluently. A French officer came one night to tell old General
Brown
about an attack the following day, the French man was grimacing
and
bowing trying to pass on his message, but the old General could
not
understand a word of what was being said, eventually to get rid
of the
Frenchman he ordered that he be given a glass of sherry and sent
on his
way. Perhaps a hundred lives depended on the message.
