I pray that the staff are atleast half decent, my missus spent years working in them, and left in end an it killed her she honestly enjoyed it an loved the folk she looked after but her superiors were pure piss takers an ruined a good job for a lot of women, my missus an a load of her mates all left an went self employed doing diff things in the community an are making a decent living an dojng what they want an helping how they want. It’s business at end of day but it’s sad when they can’t even keep loca loyal workers in the jobs, sayin that some the foreigners my missus worked with were also real good folk, so maybe there is hope for my poor ole granny, breaks my heart It's time care worker job's were more valued and paid and made a valued career for those who choose to go into the care profession and made a career worth taking up especially for those not academically clever like my old woman but she is and has been a good carer in her work. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicepix 5,650 Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Privatisation of care homes was commenced by Thatcher's government, but embraced and continued by Bliar. For me, if a council run care home costs £X to run then how can it be cheaper to run with someone taking a profit out of it? The only way is by lowering standards for the end users, i.e. us eventually. In reality, the privatisation has resulted in it costing more, not less with an unacceptable lowering of standards. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing extra for nights or Sundays. Most will never see €28,000 a year. Your looking in the wrong places mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s all well and good people saying they can buy a house cheap in Ireland. Well I can tell you that the area will have very little work and no amenities. Irelands infrastructure isn’t anywhere nears uk. That's what i like about Ireland wide boy,only real amenities in citys,long may it last lol 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As a rule yes, but I think what wideboy is saying is the closer you get to Dublin etc prices become more comparable with urban areas of England. the same is true of most places, you can get a small holding in the north of Scotland for 150k or a studio flat in Edinburgh for the same money. Plenty of places in uk you can relocate and set up and be totally removed from the problems wilf has escaped without going to Ireland, the issue is if your of working age with a family there are no career opportunities to keep you there, which is exactly why it’s as cheap. And is exactly why property is as cheap in rural Ireland imo it’s not a utopia, it’s an option for anyone with the funds to retire and not be reliant on a steady income. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its like saying “I’m getting my head kicked in but it’s ok because he is getting his head kicked in as well” Jmho, but we should be saying “This is shit, we shouldn’t be overrun with spades and only able to escape if we ramp ourselves up with 800 large of mortgage that we won’t live to pay off so we can enjoy breathing shit air and hoping they don’t slap a housing estate across the road !” The aim is to not get your head kicked in at all ! Take it from me, it ain’t utopia but it’s tidy and I have not had a mortgage for the last 7 years. I do visit back and yes England has all the bells and whistles…..but everything considered, not having them is well worth it to not have to live amongst that shit. I love England, I’m and Englishman and hopefully one day, when there is an England fit to call itself such again where an Englishman isn’t the shit on the shoe of society I may get back……but not while it’s this f***ing perversion pal Edited August 6, 2022 by WILF 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
