2 Million Dollar Bills

I’m Watching the Council Workers, Only £27 Million in Debt!

As I normally do first thing in the morning, I take my prize Staffi for her 30 minutes of chasing after her ball at  the local park; she hasn’t become pure muscle, without lots of exercise.

Yesterday was a local bank holiday and the sun had been shining, so I can imagine the nearby ghetto people had a wonderful afternoon eating junk food and boozing it up at the park. Well I could tell they had, carrier bags filled with rubbish and the dozens of empty beer cans, which littered the main grassy area, were I suppose a dead give away! The place was a mess, much like the way most of them, look after their houses. The worst thing was, there are countless bins, they would have only had to walk 50 feet to find them, I know it’s far, a wee bit too far!

As I approached the park, I beheld a wondrous site, 2 council trucks and about 8 council workers working hard! I fooled you!  They were of course standing talking and having a laugh, for at least 30 minutes, (god only knows what time the business meeting had started) they then jumped into their trucks and disappeared. You may ask what about the mountains of rubbish they were standing next too, nah that isn’t their job!

Old woman walking her dog appears, she picks up the rubbish and puts it in the bins! She wasn’t even wearing gloves!

5 minutes later a one of those council grass cutters appears, you know the ones; they walk around with a wheelbarrow with a flymo it in. He does what any good council worker does; he finds the nearest seat, sits down and spends the next 15 minutes writing his latest novel. The sun must have been in his eyes, so he gets up and cuts some grass for 5 minutes, or about 5 throws of my dog’s ball. He then heads to the seat at the other side of the park and you guessed it sits down and gets back to his real job, writing the novel.

I wouldn’t have really minded too much, but the bastard was sitting in my seat, its tough work throwing the ball for such a long time, I like to have a wee seat before I leave the park. I thought he wont be too long, so I did some overtime in the hope that he wouldn’t sit down for too long, l through the ball for a further 15 minutes, it didn’t look like he was going to move in a hurry, his novel or maybe it’s a blog, was more important than working. I had to get home to the office to do some work!

If you haven’t heard the council in Aberdeen is only £27 million in debt, they are closing schools, sports centres, the ice rink; the roads are full of potholes. I suppose driving hear is going to be good practise for when I move to Barbados!

If any private business were to be operated like some councils are, we all know they wouldn’t be in business for very long. I have heard the stories about council inefficiency and corruption, haven’t we all!  The only thing that surprises me is that they are only £27 million in debt; of course it isn’t their fault!

I would love to hear some of your stories about lazy council working practices and corruption!  The story goes, once upon a time, in Aberdeen, if you were a blond female and worked within Aberdeen leisure you would go far! Or if you were a freemason and you were not  too bright you would go far, the second one hasn’t really changed!
