Sure your right ... never been good with percentages... still getting 2.8 for some reason or 4 percent

it doesnt just effect Tesco's tho does it and where will all these businesses find the extra cost. People complain about the cost of living now, wait till you see what happens if the minimum wage went up to 20 quid an hour. Anyway its not going to happen,so pointless discussing it really.

Why did she hint at it if she wasnt thinking about doing it.? She was just testing the water. Aside from that I think she should raise income tax if it means getting out of this mess. We still have another 3 budgets with this gov which we will have the same argument every year .

Just got back,amazing place to visit. The early rockets were a lot smaller than I expected and the first astronauts had balls of steel strapped in a tiny capsule on top of what was really just a ballistic missile. Not saying it got much less terrifying tho with the later ones. The entrance to...
