[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7079932, member: 2119"] But weren’t there plenty of solicitors and bank staff back in those days and probably less bank staff needed now due to computerisation. When mother worked in the bank she had to recognise all of the customers’ signatures and know everybody’s overdraft limit off the top of her head. People were sacked for letting customers go over their limit. Now the whole thing is done by a computer somewhere for the whole country. It never fails to amaze me how people find enough to occupy themselves nowadays considering the amount of work that is now automated. So do we eventually accept that 3 day working week will become the norm or do we redefine work as leisure, do it less intensively because there are plenty of us to do it but accept a simpler less costly life? Put another way, I am a bit lazy really. I don’t work that hard in all honesty. So I can’t afford to go on holiday but as I haven’t worked that hard I don’t need one. I consider my life a kind of working holiday or exercise routine. [/QUOTE]
