Thread Name: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
A silly post with little relevance to what we’re discussing. We were seen as the sick man of Europe because of years of poor economic performance involving enforced devaluation and an IMF bailout. Certainly, poor industrial relations were also viewed from afar as contributing to the problems. It takes two sides to have relations and those of us who lived through that were all too aware of Heath’s inept administration. Thanks for all those threshold pay increases though, Ted! With those coupled with the Houghton report my salary doubled in 18 months when the country couldn’t afford it...
