So I had a look on my local council website. I can get courses in crystal healing, applying make up, nail art and facial skincare. I can study ballroom dancing or christmas flower arranging. But I can't even learn how to use hand tools, never mind a ******* lathe.

Really pisses me off does this.
When I was working away I used to sign up to all sorts of woodworking courses. Learnt a load about general woodworking, woodcarving and turning in this way. I learnt valuable skills and it kept me out of the pubs. Now, though, bugger all to be found more interesting than flower arranging. Mrs A who is in the educashun business tells me that the previous bunch of useless pulled all the funding for this sort of course and put it into the classes for useless scrotes who couldn't be arsed to work and get a decent grade in school. Result is that all the courses that were seen to not be furthering their social agenda went under as the cost for the attendees went through the roof and made them unaffordable.
My liver hates them.Comment

The more I read doodab's posts the more it appears he lives in some chavvy, ghetto area.
I've been keeping an eye out for the filth he says infests London and that he claims I don't notice. But where I live it all seems green and leafy, spic and span, well-manicured lawns and drives. I did see a can of Coke on the next street though.Hard Brexit now!
