I was in our staff room, watching TV news... the headlines - "Queen Mother in hospital"?
There was 3 other people in the room... they all said, with absolute fawning subservience.... "I dont know how this great woman works as hard as she does - no one could do her job"!!!!
I was aghast. I said.. "you what?, she doesnt even wipe her own backside" - "she doesnt even put her coat on by herself" - "she doesnt even open doors herself"!!!!!! "what about real people who are genuinley struggling.. people losing their jobs because of banks foreclosing on businesses and mortgages etc"!! "pensioners living alone scared to turn on the heating"!!!
They thought I was nuts!!???
