    And .... I think you need help - spending all that time searching others posts.
    What a silly troll he is.

    You're just as silly for being found out and justifying yourself.

    So, "there are advantages to earning £1750 a day and paying 20% Corporation Tax :T" eh ?

    One of them is obviously not coming across as a well informed, decent human being on this forum. In fact, I can't believe that someone capable of eaning that kind of money would type some of the rubbish that you do. I therefore conclude that you are making this stuff up.

    hi mr ree..... you are lucky you are raking in the money....I work hard as a carer and enjoy my job and get plenty of job satisfaction. I have not had a bonus or pay rise in 3 years and am struggling to pay my dmp. BUT I AM HAPPILY BROKE AS THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN MONEY.

    There is indeed ..... money no longer is important to me, as it was when I was younger and struggling to get through.

    I don't spend a tenth of what I can earn ..... it is simply not a driving force for me anymore.

    And I see no recession where I shop/visit/work ..... not one bit.

    I sense a great amount of envy and jealousy in this thread .... ignore what you want, the thread is about whether we are feeling a recession ....... the answer seems to be no.

    Despite everyone saying yes, you still think the answer is no?

    based on what? the fact that you saw some people in a shop? call me a traditionalist, but i prefer to stick to the economic data. by all means give the ONS a ring though, they would probably be very pleased if they can stop calculating the data every quarter and just give you a ring to see how many people were in WH Smiths on the high street last Saturday.

    Out of interest, have you seen any evidence of austerity with your own eyes?
