Wilt is back yet again – some of us have work to do! Meanwhile Mrs Wilt, mother in law, Ms Wilt and Salty Dog remain on in North Wales. Up until last night the weather was brilliant – sunny, warm and cosy at night with the wood burner fire. However last night we thought the roof was going to get blown off. Fortunately no disasters to life, limb or property – although Salty Dog got close to having a slap after getting drunk, again!
Whilst away resting, relaxing, sunning it and letting Salty Dog take me for a walk three times a day (via the pub) others have been working hard. See here: http://regulatorwatch.co.uk/2010/04/easter-bunny/
Where I commented:
“And what is Mrs C doing – she sitting at home scouring the internet, including accessing Regulator Watch 4 times on Good Friday and 3 times on Saturday. We wonder how many times she will visit today and Bank Holiday Monday? Most other foster carers will of course be doing child cantered things, like going out on a trip somewhere or having a special meal, etc., etc. But that requires someone to rise above their own narrow and distorted personal needs and attend to those needs in others which one is paid to attend to. It’s called work, or even parenting.
It seriously concerns me – perhaps Wilt will restrict her access to once per week but the problem is the Dork will just use the foster kids pc or run off down the library, so firkin obsessed is she. Nah, let her get on with it – it’s not my responsibility what she does.”
As an update, Mrs C was on Regulator Watch a further total of 8 times on Easter Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday. Thus far today she has already been on twice!
Over the holiday, a time for families and particularly children, she therefore visited a total of 15 times – an average of 3.75 times per day. I know Regulator Watch is wonderful, but is it really that good or is there something else going on here? An infatuation – she loves me? We suspect not given the number of complaints made by here.
A sickness of the mind perhaps, a misplaced “mission” or obsession – Mrs C is certainly anal retentive, of that there is no doubt. Otherwise, or combined with any of the above, she has idle hands and we know exactly what that little red person with horns sticking out of his head will exploit about idleness and lack of productivity.
Obviously there are numerous readers who know that Mrs C exists, many contribute to this blog but others are, I know, bemused by it. In response to various private emails – she does actually exist. Did you really think such a character could be invented? Many wish she was an invention – when I say many, I mean almost everyone who has met or spoken to her.
Ah well, this blogger has to finish off some work and then catch up on some news for uploading to Regulator Watch. Someone has to keep Mrs C amused.
Meanwhile, our Salop mate had his leaving/semi-retirement party arriving in his posh wheels and really cool cut suite and rather nicely donated the cash from his former colleagues towards his leaving present to a well know charity – he is a nice chap. He is actually..Apparently there was a nice lunch spread. Wilt never got a chance to have lunch today – not that I am making a point or anything, and besides Wilt is a well known charity case; his cider piggy bank is low after spending the weekend with Salty Dog. She is now even more salty after numerous swims in the rather cold Irish Sea, brrrrrrrrr.

Easter Bunny
Despite the weather forecasts the sun has been in abundance in north Wales, or at least our part of it. Just chilling out, reading books, newspapers and accompanying the Salty Dog to the pub – costs me a fortune.
And what are others doing? The Archbishop of Canterbury has upset the Pope – not difficult under the circumstances, especially if it involves telling the truth. The preoccupation of all religions with sex has always been a worry and yet some members of the leadership of these religious groups seem not to be able to practice what they preach. One example article here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/religion/7550211/Rowan-Williams-apologises-for-claiming-Catholic-Church-has-lost-all-credibility.html
Eugene Terreblanche is no more – tears are rolling down my cheeks, not! See here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/8602347.stm
Meanwhile “Dave” the Cameron is frging ahead in the polls http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article7086814.ece which when you look at the election strategy as outlined in the Mail http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1263244/Cameron-80s-TV-cop-Gene-Hunt-new-Labour-campaign-poster.html it is hardly surprising that the polls reflect more faith in the Conservatives, and of course by the sensible plans to reverse the National Insurance (Tax) rise.
Most of Wilt’s friends are enjoying the break too – some of them in their “fancy wheels” courtesy of their compensation!

Choo choo
Bob Crow http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Crow is a modern day Arthur Scargill (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Scargill) and is a little pissed off – excellent!
Crow is the scum of the earth, not like those who Scargill represented the “Salt of the Earth” – coal miners. The man is an idiot not unlike the union leaders in Unite (http://www.unitetheunion.com/default.aspx?gclid=CMqQsYjz5aACFcUB4wodRTimGg) Union in general and the total Dorks representing the public sector.
Poor old Crow – lost again: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8598456.stm
So rail workers will not have an extended Easter break (except those who throw a false “sicky”). Whereas Wilt uses his own wheels (various) he does occasionally (and increasingly) relies upon both the rail network and airlines to do business. Both cost a fucking fortune, but hey he is not paying – the customers do so. Added to which are the hotel suites (and I mean suites), meals, airport parking costs and other reasonable expenses – sadly Cider is excluded, except for business meals.
Salty Dog is always excluded and that is somewhat of a complaint they make monthly – a little less than those made by “Mrs C” to various bodis, equally!
Well Bob, not sure what you are doing but I (and Salty Dog) am off to north Wales again for Easter and later will be joined by Mrs Wilt on Saturday, and on Easter Monday (via train – please note TRAIN) by Ms Wilt and mother-in-law (granny Wilt by marriage to Mrs Wilt).
By strange coincidence Wilt is himself is returning home on Tuesday – nothing personal to mother-in-law but I have a meeting lunchtime that day! Honest!
Salty Dog is very excited again – if however it rains again (or snows) the dog can take itself for a walk down to the beach.

One.............
One (yes I am “one”) never really thought that the employers code of practice (GSCC) would ever be implemented as a binding code, as Balls promised. It would be just too costly as employers (both public and private/voluntary) would actually have to be accountable rather than blame the frontline staff even though they have at times been shat on from a great height i.e. Lisa Arthurworrey.
Community Care report here: http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Articles/2010/04/01/114206/directors-reject-legally-binding-employers-code-of-practice.htm
Costly too as shortfalls in provision or resources (or more often totally disorganised/wasted resources) would have to be addressed if employers were to avoid being sanctioned.
Anyway, what sanction would one bring – sack the Leader of the Council? Tell them off? Give the Chief Executive a strong disapproving look? Let Ed Balls loose on them?
And who would make these judgements – the GSCC. That is probably the biggest stumbling block of all, as they cannot get their own act together. The bigger issue however is savings – big budget savings. Normally Brown and Balls (the Chancellor who never was) will throw money at anything (in the public sector) but even they realise there is no money left in the piggy bank – in fact it has a huge IOU stuffed inside.
Pigs will fly or a blue moon will appear well before the GSCC code for employers becomes statutory.
Nice idea, but kicked into the long grass comes to mind.
And as for the review of the codes of practice - Salty Dog will have earned their driving licence before that is complete!
Someone has to get me home from the pub – taxis are expensive you know.

Shoesmith.......
One wondered where the case of Sharon Shoesmith had gone: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/8599016.stm
The BBC and others have obtained the papers submitted by Ofsted and after Easter the Court is expected to rule on her applications against Ed Balls, Ofsted and Haringey.
The Guardian has a fuller and better article here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2010/apr/01/baby-p-sharon-shoesmith-beefed
Scary stuff – and you know what, I have no doubt of foul play in this matter as Christine Gilbert (Ofsted) is a wanker and Balls a complete bully. At Least the CSCI (Care Standards Commission) and Behan stood up for standards (e.g. Mrs C matter) in inspection, and its independence – and told Plaskett MP to go play in the sand dunes.
As yet no news in Community Care!
Meanwhile Guido has posted on the prospects of Ed (Damien) Balls prospects of keeping his seat, here: http://order-order.com/2010/03/31/punters-slash-odds-ed-balls-now-expected-to-lose/
If he loses his seat it will be drinks on Wilt

Toss pots.............
I despair with these local authority staff earning huge salaries – and it seems there are even more on high salaries since it was last reviewed last year. See the BBC report here:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8598008.stm
In fact a rise of 24% during the worst recession in most people’s lifetimes. Why is this being allowed to happen?
I love this quote: “A councils' spokesman said the pay was good value compared with private firms.” Who do they think they are kidding?
“Conservative leader David Cameron has promised to publish the full names and detailed pay packages of every local government employee earning more than about £60,000 if his party wins the general election.”
And:
“Liberal Democrat communities spokeswoman, Julia Goldsworthy, said public servants should have pay rises capped at £400 so the lowest-earners saw the biggest relative increase.
She said: "People are right to be angry that so many public servants are earning more than the prime minister while many people are losing their job and home.
"The drive to squeeze every last bit of value from taxpayers' money shouldn't stop at town halls. We need to take a cleaver to the number of politicians, government departments and unelected quangos."
I could not put it better myself. I have to go lay down now after agreeing with a Liberal Democrat. It must be my age or something – perhaps I have a fever coming on. You know, like man flue.
