Plenty of Reasons Why Students are a Good Thing

You may have read my post about stocktaking and how retail work is the route of all evil. After all, I'm approaching five years service so I think i'm fairly qualified in passing judgement.






Well, someone from the 'Hand Car Wash', (well, not that particular one) took exception to this in my comments section. He even went as far to label all students as 'skiving parasites'.

Now now, that's not right. Below are several reasons why students are a good thing:

1. Without students, Northern based comedians would soon run out of material.
2. Students collectively pay vast amounts of beer, wines and spirits duty, probably more than any socio-economic group.
3. Britain's taxi drivers love us.
4. We all live in one house, freeing up other houses for everyone else.
5. Supermarkets would have to close on weekends and at night
6. McDonalds would shift hardly any Breakfasts if it wern't for students coming down in their pyjamas at 6:00am
7. No other group of people can cram 8 people into a Ford Fiesta. Nobody car-shares as much as we do.
8. We recycle. Clothes, books, you name it.
9. If it wern't for students, there would be no Universities, so who else would do all that pointless but ammusing research?
10. Plenty of students give themselves for medical research programmes for a bit of easy money. Who knows what sort of medicines we would be without if it wern't for us?
11. We fully support safe sex campaigns.
12. Where else would Tony Blair find an extra £3000 per head?

Oh, and there's also the small issue of their being no doctors, dentists, teachers, law professionals, accountants, IT technicians, marketing execs...............
