It was certainly an interesting three days at Sean’s place. I did wonder, then, where you were, Cherie, as you usually participate in the conversation with so much wisdom and a great sense of humour. Frankly, I’m still wondering now…

WHERE WERE YOU?

Yes, CherryPie, there are stranges going on, obviously. And these very days in September seem to have been essential part of the beginning.
Let’s not worry, though. Let’s be happy.

I am still puzzled that I missed that thread for three days!!!

Where exactly was I?

Do we need to worry?

Oh, well, Mylady, that explains all, and now you shrived your encounter of the third kind at Andrew’s you are forgiven to miss this (legendary) session.

I will have to collate all the details and put them in order so they make sense.

It depends what you mean by confetti in the breeze… If you mean that the MPs won’t fulfill the promises that they made on the day I am confident that they will. They have been stitched up as much as we have, there is a lot more that has gone on and come to light than I have posted here.

For example another MP overheard our conversations and approached us with advice. In his opinion (with a lawyers background) he said we ‘must’ pursue the Judicial Review because he believed we would win the case. Personally he stands to gain nothing from giving us that advice, it was given freely.

The whole incident is quite enlightening and I am sure you would be quite interested in some of the finer details

You have to bear in mind that all we are asking for is a proper negotiated settlement. Which means something affordable in the current climate and finding ways to make the savings that government say are needed. PCS had offered alternative suggestions and were still negotiating when the plug was pulled on them!

Very dire times and when politicians promises are confetti in the breeze.

I really would have liked to take some photos inside, but it is not allowed!
