Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

I don't think it was she that done a U turn on the poll tax , it was her cabinet minsters . Besides by then she was near to the end of her reign.

There are so many u turns by Labour its hard to know were to begin, ok 24 hour drinking , marching drunkin yobs to ATM's to pay on the spot fines .............

There you are fred your pretty picture has not worked, have you forgot how to put a picture on here, or have you not even noticed, all symptoms. lol

Ps Even the double entries all the time. :-)) Its not gone unnoticed.

True about labour yep agree alders, but Maggie was the PM at the time of the Poll Tax and just like the Belgrano she pressed the red button.

More recently Osbourne, well I cant remember more U turns from a chancellor.

Thought the Thatcher carcass had been burnt months ago, but still some trying to dig it's body up... yuk!

Dreams,

For to-night!

GOVERNMENT ADVICE: If your property is flooded during the #UKStorm move to your second home while it dries out.

Good advice, but don't forget to leave a few servants behind to dry the place out.

you can't build a house overnight, but surely if there is demand to buy, then there is a similar demand to build ...... builders don't sit on their land banks for a laugh, but quite rightly, will not build until there is decent demand

Code for...........Wheels coming off Tory so called recovery.......... cynic.

haven't read the article to determine whence you come
for myself, i don't have to read newspaper articles to determine whether or not the economy is recovering, even if living standards inevitably lag
sorry to say, but you're sounding a bit like canute on this issue

Cyners ..........even if living standards inevitably lag........ends

total baloney.

I gave you the senario on new years eve, admittedly im not the best communicator and would never make a teacher but the how can I put it the 'O' level standard discussion which developed after my depature should have convinced you of keynes theory although at times it was mis represented.

Maggie in the wars again, FRED will like this one...............
