    I'm not so sure.

    All I know is it will be one of the willies.

    Well I did my bit yesterday.

    New(ish) car on the drive :cool:

    Didn't get a loan though. So I'm now leaving the parasite camp. Trouble is, as I didn't get a loan, and debt = wealth, I do feel like the car has cost me twice as much as it maybe would of done if I had a loan.....however, then I'd still be a parasite.

    Think that beats a LED TV, though do realise I do still have some savings, so do need to buy one.

    I'll be the judge of that.

    Await my response.

    I like your style.

    So to summarise this thread, Hamish thinks HB falls are good news for slumlords, wee willy doesn't, and Graham has bought a new car, which I will lay down a crisp give pound note on being a Toyota Yaris.

    I do hope it was a British built vehicle. On the other site there is a bit too much of the "BtLs are destroying the economy" then boasting that they have just bought a new Volkswagen.

    Well in that case, I guess I have moved from parasite, to someone who doesn't support our economy.

    Volkswagen it is.

    What's my new name? Darn it, theres a lot of boxes to tick.

    Does a Beetle fit into the parasite category ?
