S

secret squirrel

Here goes,

My gas and electric has gone up by 20%,
Diesel cost me the other day £1.50 a litre,
Road tax on a van cost £210 for a smaller van.
Liability insurance up by £50.
Food costs up by 15% (on my own bill, just 2 of us)
Season ticket for London up by £400!
Car parking £6 per day in local station,

The list goes on and on..........

How can we as an industry, private individual, running a house keep up with these constant increases. I am fed up with constantly paying out.

We have considerably less disposable income than 1 year ago!

I know of a postman who has £100 per week to live on, he's so fed up that he is now signing on and wait for this bit......

He now has £200 per week to live on doesn't work. Fewer bills to pay as the government pick them up. A better quality of life...........

I used to be proud to be English, now I feel a bit jaded. We're involved in more wars and we're making soldiers redundant, closing RAF bases, we now don't have a navy to talk of! MP's cutting left right and centre but still be paid expenses,

Am I in the minority or do we all feel the same.....
 
Paperclips, paperbloodyclips, has anyone bought a box of these lately? daylight bloody robbery:angry_smile::angry_smile::angry_smile:
 
I remember when Mars bars were 7p (1971 if memory serves me right). 3p for first class stamp back then too.

As an aside, Cadburys tried to sell a chocolate called Chalet but this name was banned by the EEC because it sounded as if it came from Switzerland and because it wasn't made there they couldn't use that name.

Someone wrote into The Times and asked where they thought Mars bars came from.
 
I used to love the Nutty bars. Problem was they looked like a turd which I presume why the stopped making them.

Remember Aztec bars and Old Jamaica bars, Beech Nut chewing gum, Cabana bars, Frys Five Centres, Licorice Tics, Pacers, Spangles, Wispa bar, Black Jacks? Terrys Crispy Caramel?

I remember moving on from all that stuff, first to the *** machine outside the sweet shop, then the off license, then the coppers knocking my mum and dads door...... then growing up.
