Well Done, Glasgow!



So well done to Frances Stojilkovic and all the women who did Glasgow so proud in  the ongoing fight for equal pay with Glasgow City Council - 50 years after the landmark Equal Pay Act was introduced back in 1970.

At one point, in what was a fascinating and thoughtful programme, Anne Robinson seemed to doubt whether the latest generation of women really had the confidence to stand up for themselves and get the job done.

Yet Anne's meeting with the Glasgow's Home Carers proved inspirational, the icing on the cake, so to speak - integrity and honesty are the words that came to my mind.

Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
