  MANY readers will not accept my contention that many, not all, union activities in the post war period were counter productive. Let me give two examples from my personal experience of a lifetime spent in the packaging and printing industry.

           <description><![CDATA[
  HAVING read much arising on the passing of Margaret Thatcher, one thing in particular strikes me. Margaret Thatcher appears to be one of the few famous females in history most frequently referred to without any title or first name, being known simply as ‘Thatcher’. After perhaps Ghandi I am struggling to think of others.

  I AM becoming heartily sick of the cult of personality surrounding politicians of all political persuasions. They do a job for which they are adequately remunerated and then they retire. We pay them and, as such, they are, in theory at least, our employees, though a lot of the time you’d be hard pressed to believe that.

  BEING of a certain age and my past history, I would like to comment on readers’ observations on the area of Ashburner Street/Newport Street. (R Holden and I come from the same place.) Just beyond Battersby’s and between the Market Hotel (known as ‘T’Crate Egg’ due to its nearness to the old market where crates of eggs were unloaded) was a ginnel that ran behind the shops in Ashburner Street and Newport Street and came out at the gable end of the Grey Mare pub in Newport Street.
