And why would Dudley want to buy Jack?
1p You can find that sorta money on the floor.
[EDIT] I don't mean to destroy a thread with a point it's just that I have nothing of value to post so I ended up posting something not of value.
Should become a MP, in the UK. Fact is that if you are a MP for 26 years you are guaranteed a pension of £1000 a week which is index linked all funded by the British tax payer. Nice work if you can get it. John 2 S***s Prescott has a pension pot of around 1.3 million pound all funded by the mug British tax payer, and they wonder why hardly anyone can be bothered to vote.

So if we take two people
Single man aged 35 earning £20,000 will pay £3,034.30 Tax and £1,645.16 NIC leaving him with a net income of £15,320.54
whereas if we assume you earn the same between your state pension, other pensions and a p/t job you will pay £2,540.40 tax, and no NIC leaving you with a net income of £17,459.60.
.
And some of the disabled are in the same boat. It is a disgrace - I am utterly ashamed of our government for their inaction.

"your allowances will jump from £5,035 to £7,280 meaning you can earn £2,245 more than me before you pay tax, HOW FAIR IS THAT? "
But, I don't want to earn more!! Done that! I've got a jack! In fact I'm pretty well set up. I would just like to be able to spend where and on what I would like rather than have no influence on contributions to other causes that I may not agree with. Yes, I do vote. I am thankful to be living in a very pleasant part of England even tho' one third of my pension each week will go in Council Tax!
I aint the whinger. I just want . . . Oh I don't know . . . where are my teeth. What was I talking about?
