Sick of the media!!!!!!!!!

[ad15]

think part of the issue is retailers (in general) have used the vat increase to disguise price hikes,,,

 

for example,, tyre prices going up as much as 18% overnight, fuel, etc etc.

 

you're right 2.5 % vat isnt much,, but the rest of it is a bit of a p take,,

 

fuel gone up over 10p here in a week,,

We used to call it the 10 o'clock bad news

 

Now i dont have a telly, rarely listen to the radio and dont buy a paper.

 

I am much happier, it used to kind of stress me without realising, all the doom and gloom. 99% of which didnt even have a direct affect on my life.

 

I think a lot of the present recesion is media driven, and they will prolong it.

 

Chuck the telly and see if your life changes

 

Got rid of mine 2 years ago. Don't miss it in the slightest. The only reason I'd get another is if they brought back live cricket on one of the "free" channels.
