tucked away somewhere.

Oh Tinman,

you speak a Truth, greater than you perhaps thought !

Stealing our money was how they got rich in the first place !

And BTW, the present president may have no intention of leaving the
euro, but if you asked the People of Southern Cyprus you would hear a
different answer.

Most of the money belongs to Russian criminals, which makes me
believe, the president and bankers are playing a dangerous game.
They will not take having their money stolen lightly.

The were saying on the TV that the big depositers are Russian,
with hundred of thousands in the banks, I can't see them taking
it lying down, I know if I had £250k deposited in their banks, like
some who want to buy a house, I would be severely pissed off,
and I wouldn't let them get away with it.

It would be good if there were no secret accounts as there are in Switzerland . It was reported that many Greek politicians sent huge sums there and isn't there a question hovering over the President of Cyprus and his friends ? It seems to me that its not n likely that the Russians had time to get their money out.

Thats not true Briar. One can get rich by working hard and saving
hard, and investing in the right things, Investing for a return with
money is just a tool well used, for money is a tool.
In fact investing is what everyone wants, to get the economy on the
upturn, from investing in purchased goods by customers, to investing
in pension funds , stocks and shares and in tax free ISA, all
available to the common man and yes, then money does go to money, but
it is not stolen.
Entrepreneur invest and risk their investments, but they create work
and jobs for others and are entitled to a return on their risk and
enterprise.
Always remember that the first rule of buisiness is to make a profit,
and you do that by selling what people want to buy and at a price they
are willing to pay for it.
Then people give their money away, by their own free choice..

Rags to riches stories are getting rarer. The end of academic selection and free higher education have transpired alongside the maturing of an economy in which there are now very few ways of getting rich, unless you're a visionary genius who comes up with something like facebook - and that doesn't happen often.

Alan Sugar started selling stuff from a market stall in london. Richard Branson started off flogging records and now owns an airline. Both would fail if they were starting out now, its safe to say.

Education: The end of the grammar school?


More than 90 per cent of secondary-age children now attend comprehensive schools. And Hag Thatcher holds the prize as the secretary of state who closed or merged the most grammar schools for a comprehensive alternative.

Dear Trog,

I do not deny that a few people have managed to get fairly rich by
doing that, but by far the easiest way to riches is to be born in a
rich family, this you cannot deny. Wealthy people in the UK mostly
inherited their wealth, indeed, go back to 1066 and the foundation of
their wealth for the "Old Money" was their joining a gang of armed
robbers under William the Bastard, who stole "ownership" of our entire
country and under their Feudal Law made the aforementioned Robber
Baron "King", and then shared out ownership of everything even the
people already living in the country. That was the foundation of our
even now still functioning Class System, a wrong that is in many ways
akin to the Caste System they have in India.

That event was a black day for britain and unlike nearly all the other
europen states we have still not managed to get rid of it.

Tinman,

The one I spoke with by phone yesterday was not. He was furious and
worried that this was but the beginning, and that the Germans will
next be having to bail out all the other southern european nations one
by one... There is discussion of there being in future a 'weak euro',
for the south, and a 'strong euro' in the north of europe even !

In Italy Angela Merkel is being called "Die Patin" he said -
(translates as a female "Godfather", after the film about the boss of
the Mafia in Sicilly)!

The Krauts have been reduced to pinching the saving of other Europeans
to keep their Euro afloat. This mark the end if the Krauts trying to
dominate Europe. Your better off owing money not saving it.

We've seen on the news here that a lot of people with bank loans are
now being told by the savers that have been robbed not to pay back
their loans. Looks like the worm is starting to turn.

By the same measure by far the easiest way to achieve qualifications
is to be clever

According to you hard work has little to do with it

Oh Elaine,

it must have been quite hard to find a way to disagree with me
there ! I will meet you more than half way, as I am feeling so happy
at the lovely spring weather we are enjoying up here and that I
sincerely wish that everyone else could share. Yes indeed, achieving
a qualification requires a lot of hard work, even if people think one
is clever. There is nothing magic about having been lucky enough to
have an uncle who taught me to read very early, thus giving me an
advantage. It did not change my parents being extremely hard up.
Learning to speak "posh" instead of the east london accent I grew up
with needed a lot of effort, and until I mastered the dialect I was
always treated like a cheeky guttersnipe. So I agree with you, a bit
of luck is insufficient on its own, it still requires had work,
something I have always accepted as necessary and any quite enjoyabl
if one adopts a positive attitude to it.

Is that alright with you ? Have a nice day today. Bless.

There are far more people in the world who have startedwith little,
and achieved a lot. If we were to draw up comparitive lists to prove
the point I think you would quickly find that the list of those that
started with little, exceeds those who gained from inheritance by a
very big margin. Look at the comercial world and you would find many
people tha started with litttle. Marks and Spencers started with a
penny stal in a market place, and allan Sugar started with nothing.
Forget the envy and start on the progress of the enterpising.
What is most important is the inheritance of inteligence and drive,
from good parents, and that will still apply when the socialists have
had their way, and stolen other peoples inherited money off them..

There is an old saying that you only have to try 10% harder to go a
hundred percent further. Thatcher was a shop keepers daughter who made
good by her own hard work.
