    Charities refuse to make any distinction between the deserving and undeserving 'poor' and they'd probably tell you they're doing it for the sake of 'the kiddies'.
    Maybe they are, but I'm giving to the family appeal this year, and I still would be giving if I knew it was going to the "undeserving" poor. No kid deserves a !!!! christmas, it doesn't matter if their parents are genuine victims of circumstance, or wasters who brought it upon themselves. It's the kid I'm buying for.
    I'm not bad at golf, I just get better value for money when I take more shots!
  • Rates are a LOT less than the council tax is in UK.
    NO water charges as they have in the UK.
    NI has some of the CHEASPEST gas prices in the UK.
    Considering we have so much "Public Sector" Employment they will be paid the same as any other public sector worker in the UK.
    In general I've found Insurance is only a bit more expensive for young drivers. I've lived in the UK and I don't see a massive difference in house insurances or other persoanl insurances like that

    So I don't necessarily believe that things are more expensive..

    :rotfl:You havent a clue do you. Nice trolling.
