Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Thanks for the tip, I'll give the link a scan, been working various shifts for 36 years now, and it seems to be catching up with me these last few months

amazon delivery times.
ever since they started the prime shizz their delivery times have been appalling. no i dont want to spend £80 a year for fek all since i only buy stuff maybe twice a year with them. that and there is now a minimum spend for free delivery. fek them, i will be looking elsewhere for alternatives in future. shizz i can get stuff from china quicker than that. |

Politicians who duped people into voting Leave.
"It will be a positive thing. Good for the economy etc" they said. Today the Government says the hole in the accounts will be £122 trillion bigger. That's a big ****ing positive then. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
OK. Billion. I exaggerate.
But don't tell me £122bn is nothing in the scheme of things. That's the annual income from National Insurance. It's almost the sum total of income from VAT. It could be recovered over the 4 years by rains NI to 16% or VAT to 25%. Imagine the outcry if they did that. That's how big a choice Leave was. And remember, this is a government that is negotiating it's way out - it had a vested interest to make it look good! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Not quite. That's quantative easing which is used when inflation is practically zero and private expenditure needs to be increased to drive inflation up.
It's pretty much agreed that inflation will go up anyway so QE would have a different and undesirable effect. And by the way, the £122bn over four years is far worse than the£350m per week that was the false and misleading figure on the Boris 'n Nigel bus. Dave Cameron may have been a **** and stupid for calling the referendum, but he was right. Financially we are better off in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Seems to me all they do is borrow money to pay the last payment each time,now if it was you and me the credit limit would have run out decades ago,so who keeps borrowing it and who keeps lending it,economics of the mad house me thinks !!!
