    Not yet - there's a budget on 8th July something might be announced then.

    I would hope that some kind of limit is imposed to discourage the !!!!less from breeding to stay on benefit. Any change brought in should not be restrospective in my opinion as that would impact most on the kids.
    My basic rule is, and always has been, "Don't have what you can't afford".

    There's an auto censor on the word that means lacking initiative or strength of character; irresponsible?

    I didn't notice that. Thanks missapril. Stupid auto censor. Rather like the story about a certain town in the east of England which was banned by one of the early search engines as being obscene.

    I hope so.

    But we won't know until the budget.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    Not just search engines - it took a while for the local police station to figure out why they weren't getting any emails.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
