    The colliery jobs were different to this warehouse distopia because it was a community with pubs and shops.

      You miss the point, rather than bring 10 million into the country to do menial work, they should have automated Miss Havisham. Its always been about driving down wages. There is Zero community in aby of these places, when half of them don't have the vocabulary of a 10 year old.

      @@timawells of course this makes perfect sense; I think I was just making an observation because the workers now are not part of a community: agreed.
      Just "human resources" in a warehouse/workhouse I think I'd call it that looks like a Prison camp. They can't even pop out at dinnertime as we used to call it because there is nothing there no chip shop or anything.

      1948 rather than bringing them in from the West Indies to be bus conductors, dragging in all the social problems, they could have automated back then. But this was always about driving down wages by bringing in slave Labour. Automation should benefit all, not the rich few, in increasing our overall wealth. @@misscoutts6193

      @@timawells there are now too many people and no proper jobs. They only need "human resource" to do the parts the machine can't. That's why I think school leaving age should be reduced to fifteen because people don't need to stay in 'education' (indoctrination) to work in these places!

      The buses were slowed down by one-man doing both jobs.

    Do you remember when computers were going to put people out of work? It seems that now we employ the majority of people just to feed the computer...

    • @timawells
      @timawells  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Absolutely. Computers are the ones controlling us. The technology has been badly used. I remember when they said we would be able to work less and have more leisure time. Technology should be driving efficiency, that was what I was trained to do and why now redundant.

    People are employed in the wrong things, we were a manufacturing nation not a giant warehouse.

      Absolutely, where is the job satisfaction. Feeling proud what you have done all day at work.

    What do they make there?

    • @timawells
      @timawells  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Its just a warehouse with sports clothes probably imported from abroad.

    I did business with companies that set after the colliery shut in the early 1990's,I remember being told that there were 1200 employed on the site when the colliery was operational.It's such a shock when I visited to see that Sports Diect had moved in.I'm told that Ashley would call a meeting in the middle of the night and all management were expected to attend.

    • @timawells
      @timawells  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I thought there we more jobs now. I think Ashley is so vulgar.

    I've only ever delivered into there once, it's absolutely huge, when you drive into it.
    I'm sure there's a big retail store there, fed straight from the warehouse.

      I think its that top end with the car park and Sports direct sign.

    • @misscoutts6193
      @misscoutts6193 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Is there really that level of demand for 'sports clothing'? Automation is not good because it means less jobs.

    💯% Agree on every single point you made here Tim welcome to the 3rd world ☹☹ that Amazon job advert on tv a couple of years back always used to make smile load of💩

      I worked at Amazon Prime in Rotherham, it was one of their better places, but they wanted their pound of flesh Jon. Offered a job at Doncaster Amazon during the lockdown, I said I can't wear a mask, they said exempt yourself. But I didn't go in because they asked me to send a picture of myself holding up a sheet of paper with my name on. I wasn't working in a prison.

    Meanwhile the Council on the Up in Sheffield seems devoted to being a Council on the Down having just admitted demolishing the old Market Tavern " by mistake".The chair of the Transport and demolitions committee is investigating,sorry Transport and development committee.Presumably this is the man the talented Ben Miskel,who claims the new air quality in Sheffield has saved hundreds,or is it thousands,of lives.Independent evidence may be hard to find.Presumably he makes similar claims for the recently imposed LTN in Walkley which causes traffic to turn and manoeuvre instead of driving through.

      Tenter St is a disaster Zone Andrew wait for the Magic roundabout. As for Tom Hunt his work experience ends shortly, he will be going back to school to do his exams.
