gnfencer, thats democracy for you, the Scots have spoken. I'm not sure I agree with your assertion that your politicians have had to leave the room when decisions were made, on the contrary the Scots were allowed to vote on entirely English matters, ie the MidLothian question. It will be interesting to see if the SNP can do more with their 56 Mps, than Labour with their 232!

egnsean, no-one on here would prevent genuine cases getting the help they need! Your really are putting words into Richard 1234's mouth!

You are norty Stubby!

Might be worth contacting this organisation. It's a not for profit outfit and the quality of the oak furniture is excellent. And you might be doing a young person a favour! http://cameliabotnar.com/carpentry-department/

She'll be right mate! I spent a year in Christchurch, and saw several Canterbury matches at Lancaster Park. Though the cantabs usually beat the Southlanders, there was a good camaderie between the 2 teams!

Not sure if that was aimed at me, but connecting it up to the loos, (we've got 4) would be a lot of work, and I really can't be asked! The toilet ball cock arrangements are very sensitive to crud in the water and the task of filtering and routing the pipes didn't seem worth it. But if anyone wants to do it, fair play to you!

I installed a 3200lt tank a couple of years ago. It's linked up to the garage guttering, and raised up on a stollege to increase the head. Works fine for the garden!

I'm a little bit disappointed with this thread, I was expecting something more like this! [ame] [/ame]

Get your folks to gift you the property,then as long as they live for another 7 years the gift is tax exempt! :t

I just think the latest proposals about allowing people to give houses worth up to a million pounds to their children tax-free is bordering on the obscene with the way things are at the moment with Public Sector workers pay rises limited to 1% etc. TBH most people in that situation can get round the inheritance tax issue quite legally,so why have the Tories shot themselves in the foot?

Sorry Gnome, that's a rather large chip you have there sir!

How do you find Oz politics?

Sorry Eggs I just had to post this, don't be offended! [ame] [/ame]

It's also true to say a lot of chaps have invested in business only to see it fail ...you need to take a few risks.. but should be rewarded for that.

Two Acres, you use the word " given " a bit unfortunate! we are getting a bit like the US, I concede that point.

If no-one created any wealth we'd still be tilling our furrows on those strips of land like our ancestors used to do!
-
Agreed Two Acres! Eggs but the guy has created that money and will no doubt invest it , perhaps employing people, and create more wealth. What would have happened if he'd have paid most of it in tax?
-
I agree 100% on that with you Two Acres. There needs to be a safety net.
-
I'm with you on that Mark, Benefits shouldn't be a "lifestyle choice", stand on your own two feet! Labour have a vested interest in not letting the "poor" escape from poverty! No economy has ever taxed their way out of recession, like the French are trying to do. And Two Acres, Vote with your feet on that one!
-
Just Checking! Others may have you down as a "Champagne Socialist" but I'm reserving my judgement!

Cameron and Osbourne have been elected to their "lofty" positions. There was no entitlement there. And don't you invest in the Banking System that you appear to dislike intensely?

OK so we allow talent,skill and ability to prevail,and those people increase their income and become the very people you seem to revile!

It might also be a good idea to check if you live in a Smoke Control Area, I discovered I was before I chose my fire. It severely limited my choice of appliance! Appliances - Defra, UK
