    I've been Money Tipped!
    Was that not called a seat in the house of Lords and a little ceremony round at Betty's place?

    Silly me you only get that for services to a political party or the state machine these days?


    It needs to be a title that is easily removable. so that say, you get it after 3 years paying a high tax bill but lose it if you don't contribute after that.

    Everyone else looking forward to budget day?

    Have been doing little back-of-the-envelope calculation and so far I'm down about £20/month on the basis of predictions.

    It's the child benefit that bothers me - would then be down over £200/month if that goes, which would not be an easy hole to fill at all. :(



    Hello dolvevita II. :wave:

    Nice to see you around. :)

    Afternoon ma'am.
    I am sat here eating a packet of hand made crisps seasoned with sea salt and chardonnay wine vinegar. If, as I suspect this budget has a severe impact on me personally, tomorrow I will be eating ready salted chipsticks. It's good to be back.

    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    I think you may not have been around long enough, lemonjelly, to be able to figure this one out...

    Not an AE. I am an all new and exciting personality. Is Mr.Broderick still around?

    The scary thing is the supposed AEs do often seem to have new and exciting characters. It leaves me somehow wondering how the one body in whch they supposedly reside copes.

    Any way, welcome, new and exciting Dolcevita the second. :)

    Only occasionally. And under a range of excitingly disguised names. :)

    Just thought I'd contribute by saying that after 3220 posts the nicest person must be lostinrates down to their nearly 20% contribution and more than double anyone else in this thread.

    Well done LIR, you must live in here ;)
