UK, Ireland / Unemployed due to Polish who work in the UK [126]

also how all the shops closed in the villages because there was no money to be spent

but think of the opportunity it gave to the shopkeepers to take early retirement. And nobody could afford to run a car anymore, so that saved the planet from global warming. I need a delerious looking smilie

The children of steel workers, miners and dockers have been given access to other opportunities that their parents could only dream of.

the steel workers, miners and dockers were quite happy doing the jobs they did, they never dreamed of living in communities where every child's father was unemployed, that's what happened in the pit villages.

What opportunities did the children of men who had lost their jobs have, that previous generations whose fathers were in full time emplyment not have? free school dinners because their families were so poor?

It happens more than you think...

I doubt that!

My dad was a child during the war and he doesn't agree with what bomber Harris did.
The taking of any innocent life is wrong, especially when it is a child.

actually, I don't fancy beer tonight, I'll have a gin and tonic with ice and a slice of lime, not lemon

Seriously, all what i expect was respect and even if somebodys bored, he doesnt have to start to laugh etc. We arent children anymore. In that age everyone can stay calm for couple minutes.

I agree with that, respect costs nothing.

Just looking at it from another viewpoint, i wonder if the laughter was because they felt awkward. Laughter can sometimes be a mask to hide behind.

And if they show it just to please you would it make you feel better???

No,

But I think young people should be taught the important points in history, especially things in living memory, in such a way they cannot be ignored.

When I was about 14, I had a teacher at school who brought in some old home movies, she warned us that some of the content was not nice and not to tell other teachers she had shown it to us. the film was from the early war years, it was made by some German people who were against Hitler. One piece of film showed a man protesting against the Nazis, it then showed him being dragged into an empty building and being shot, it certainly left a mark on me.

I think for young people to say they are just not interested, is an insult to the memory of all the people who died.

Did you ask those Germans if they wanted to go to the camp?
Were they at least a tiny bit interested?

Well they should show some interest!

so you didn't get blown up with your computer after all

UK, Ireland / The British workers denied jobs because they can't speak Polish [45]

Oh my God...I think I must be psychic...you're never going to believe this, but before I looked at the link, a voice in my head said "Daily Mail"....OK, I know it's the Mail on Sunday, so my psychic powers are obviously not fully developed yet.

Isn't it a shame Mr Moss cannot remember the woman's name or the factory involved, somebody might not belive him....but it must be true because it's in the Mail

History / History keeps us divided [6]

This is interesting. because I bet this happened more then once..

From what the women said that evening, a lot was kept secret. If course when they were older and knew more they then questioned their parents, the point is, it wasn't easy for a lot of ordinary people living in Hitler's Germany. I think we need to understand these things in order to move on.

History / History keeps us divided [6]

Nation who don't know enything about their history is not worth to live .....

I agree with that, if you don't know your history it will come along and repeat it's self.

But I also agree with Patrycja, that we should let go of the hostilities.

Last year a local methodist minister, invited 3 German women who were born just after the war, but now lived in england to talk about their experiences. I went to that talk and it was very interesting to hear their story, there was an old man who had survived Auschwitz there and he had questions he wanted to ask them.

One of the women knew nothing about the holocaust until a lesson at school when she was 14, she ran home in tears afterwards, and started shouting at her parents for keeping it a secret from her. We should listen to each other more.

Love / Do you think letters after you have broken up work ?? [29]

BubbaWoo

I was expecting a different answer from you... don't forget about "sender regret"
Write a 'no send' letter, then put it away somewhere, look at it in 6 months time and you'll be amazed how far you've moved on in that time
