HOW rich of R Coldwell to accuse me of making wild statements about the Thatcher years, while daubing the entire British workforce with the same brush (You Say, March 30).
The story of the night staff who went to sleep, when they were supposed to be working, just goes to show how incompetent the manager must have been to let that sort of practice go on his shop floor.
I don't believe that our workforce priced itself out of the market. Some of them chose to strike for nothing more militant than better working conditions, a fair wage and job security.
In contrast, company directors, city boys and politicians were being paid fat salaries that were over the country's inflation.
This gave rise to the "loadsamoney" culture.
A decade later, this country is still suffering the after-effects of that Tory tyranny. Our British workforce will, no doubt, pay for all our major economical blunders, time and time again.
