    I added something to my previous post in reply to an earlier one of yours before you post appeared just so it was all on the one place.

    I put 2 Tonils link into Bing's translator and it came up in English and seems quite accurate. Frightening!
    I've tried it in Google translate and it is not clear. Off to try Bing..
    Right both say there is a shortfall to pay benefits 'to the end of time' (I think it means end of the year) and that they must find x amount to meet the shortfall. But it is not specific as whether people actually won't be paid. Or should we just take this as read?

    Some of my friends already have a shortfall on the last payment (which was October's payment) The November payment should come the first week in December I think so they must be paid in arrears. I took 'the end of time' to mean the end of the year....or do they know something that we don't?

    This is a more reliable source for the original article...the OAED is the Employment and pensions department.

    I have to go offline now and unplug everything ...we have a hellish storm outside and the wind is blowing the smoke back down the chimney. It looks like midnight out there . Have a good evening folks!

    maybe the 'end of time' is referring to TEOTWAWKI ;)

    craigy - I think pops gets gittery about editing his posts when he talks to me. It didn't make sense because he's probably panicked :o

  • I thought the flooding is over, It flipping isn`t. Flood water has travelled down the rivers and now caused a local road, over flood plains, to be flooded to a depth so that `road closed` signs are now in place. Dh on his bike turned back but there is nowhere for a car to turn and the narrow road has full ditches on both sides. Grhh common sense re the council people, why don`t they put these signs where people can turn or back up safely

    Thinking of you 2T, stay safe

    It means that I added the last comment whilst Fuddle was writing her's so when I posted my amended post she had already put a follow up but it wasn't there as I edited mine.

    Fuddle had said that(I parody)that real news seems to be being ignored. That I believe is deliberate.
