You'd expect the county-wide Operations Manager to behave with a bit more regard. Even if I were just some carer, thats just disgraceful.

I doubt she'd understand the pun. ;-)

Well the Ombudsman was at pains to remind both me and the county CEO if I wasnt satisfied to get back in contact. Their favourite trick of stalling wont help her either, I've already personally annoyed her superiors for starters and I've never just threatened litigation like a bully. So I annoyed them again, and copied that to them.

I dont like credit or gambling, so borrowing the funds I'll need to obtain justice - in the form of money, the only kind of justice authority understands - is distasteful and risky. But, seeing as I cant raise or earn it legally, I can still resort to their tactics, and finance it with credit.

Until now that hasnt been an option, I cant afford to pay it back so I dont borrow it. Besides, its taken me three years to clear my debts so I owe no-one a thing. Anything less is irresponsible, thats how I was brought up. These days, everything's on credit and I get told I'm a fool for missing out...

Well the distaste I have for credit is now about equal to the distaste I have for living like this, pride or no. All it will take is motivation to change my opinion.

I frequently get accused of being mad.

Hmmm, now hand-delivering that letter to the woman, with a presentation. A signed hand-painted portrait of her being tentacled and drooled on by a pissed-off Obsidian, accompanied by some vitriolic poetry set to music, posting it on social media and sending it to Channel 4's The Last Leg for the lulz springs to mind.

Now, just because I have the resources for something crazy, doesnt mean I'll do it. I'm not mad enough...

Yet.

Hi Stuart :-)

Thanks! Actually you'd be surprised how that helps. You arent the first with that sentiment and I know what you mean. Like isnt a word I'd use either.

It isnt winning me any popularity contests, but thats not why I'm doing it. Actually, it is why I'm doing it - I could choose instead a disposable income, a social life, the security of a career, all the things I'm sneered at for lacking, but I know it wouldnt make me any happier. It'd be at Bea's expense.

Thankfully their opinion doesnt reflect the majority, nor has it always been this way. Raising my kids was tough but then, its not meant to be easy teaching the next generation how to be better than yourself - it kind of reeks of hypocrisy to be a parent, but at least its justified. Thats not something a leader can claim, and its 15 years of Tory rule thats brought our society back to the standards of the 1970s.

Ta, I hope you're right... :-)
