    Most of the people in my local Tescos disabled bays are young people who have no blue badges at all. I have to walk miles to the shop !!

    Sorry I don't move in those circles, I didn't know.
    I 'm sure that it will have been replaced by a benefit with another name to give an impression that our government has done something about it whilst still allowing people to get away with murder.
    Oh it has! Just looked it up.
    The gravy train is now called,
    "Employment and Support Allowance"

    My apologies, but it is exactly the same problem dressed up as something else.

    Oh yeah I'm a troll! Because I don't think the same as you!
    I'm one of the millions of people(who think the same) that will have a chance to express their views at the next election.
    People should go to interviews and take medicals, money isn't "free" after all despite what millions of people think.

    It's been a pleasure conversing with you LP. I'll let you get back to your own little views.

    No the money isn't free to get IB which still exists for a lot of people you have had to have worked and paid for it.

    How did the General Strike go? Did Horsham burn?

    Didn't hear too much about that side of things over here, just a bland communiqu! and a warning to the Yanks not to go too far in devaluing their currency by the Chinese.

    No general strike, no burning of Horsham... Though apparently the local economy had a bit of an upturn. Apparently the Chinese finance delegation stayed at a local guest house, and in general delegates did try to escape (the tedium?) by visiting local stores and hostelries. I tried to find a press link for this Gen but couldn't, I saw it on Sky News. Hopefully you won't mind taking my word for it.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Perfectly happy to take your word for it.

    Plenty of slightly nice, olde world pubs around Horsham. I've been there many times. My mum used to shop at the Sainsbury's when it was in Carfax.

    Generali, we are now through the down weeks after Chineese new year and the forecast for the next few weeks are well above budget. Must be a blip because they were expecting about the same as weeks 9 10 and 11, could be interesting if it holds at this level.

    Good trick. Set budget low, keep shareholders happy when exceeded. Chinese exports down 40%.
