It's quiet well looked after this side of the bridge.

I made clear earlier up the post I'm not talking about my particular situation, I'm putting up with it for a reason. I was pointing out the fact that so much can be taken away from you before you can provide for yourself.

I know i just aired my thoughts.

As for how it used to be doesn't bother me. In the old days their winters were colder, summers hotter, skies bluer, work harder and apples bigger along with creme eggs of course. It's impossible to gauge a perspective, speak to someone in their later years on a level and they think we go through hell.

They had hard times for different reasons, it's been down to us for the rise in house prices that caused them to rise for example. If we didn't want them no dought the prices would fall, as is the case for flats at the moment. Greed also springs to mind.

Comparing us to miners is like comparing ourselves to slaves; it was never a job, it was the birth of our government learning how to exploit us.

Miners get paid for work, Slaves Don't. If your thinking along them lines then we are all slaves to the government.

Farmers outside of the 'modern' world in Mongolia, South Pacific, Indonesia have a 'hard' life when you're observing them through your TV eating a microwaveable meal. But for these people to outlive us suggests a somewhat different tale; that our life punishes your body, that mental turmoil can kill you. Tax IS there for a reason but when 80% of your wages go back to the government it is YOUR responsibility as an intelligent human to ask the ques.........oh sorry..... there's a article about who Simon Cowells latest fling is I'll just read instead.

Not aimed at you rich

It's all good fun
