JOSE NOT SO SPECIAL

Why do people persist in calling Man Utd manager Jose Mourinho the Special One? He will only be special when he can do as Claudio Ranieri did with Leicester City and win something with a team on a shoestring budget.

Anyone should be able to win a championship with an unlimited budget and club owners prepared to give you hundreds of millions of pounds to recruit the best players in the world.

On purchasing some items of clothing at Marks and Spencer, I was asked if I needed a bag. Was I expected to carry these items out of the shop over my arm if I didn’t buy carrier bags?

Why don’t the large clothing companies adopt using paper bags as Primark have been doing for years, thus reducing the issue with waste plastic we are now having?

How can a judge deem the postal strike to be unlawful when the turnout at 73.7% was well in excess of the 50% stipulated, and the result of 89% was a resounding decision in favour of strike action?

It seems to me this is just a device to delay it until after Christmas because the prospect of one beforehand would certainly have concentrated Royal Mail’s mind.
