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.

THOUSANDS of students could have voted twice for Jeremy Corbyn in the General Election, a watchdog has warned.

Other people have to pay to park at work so why are NHS staff different Tanks ? You could make more of a case for patients and visitors not having to pay ahead of staff. The cost per week at the hospital in question is £5.25 per week. They also have the choice of using a park and ride facility.

Costs more than that per day to cross the Severn bridge if you work in Bristol.

Yes Tanks your right about the students as two of my kids could have.

hospitals, like all too many local councils, use high parking charges as a cash cow

If your good for nothing Government funded them properly they wouldn't have to Alf.

councils have no such excuses, and in fact it is very short-sighted
the last thing councils should do is to deter people from coming into town to spend their money rather than the out of town mega-stores that have ripped the heart out of so many places

Just fund them properly, your stuff is beside the point as usual and you know it...desperation by Tory boys as usual -):

For most poorly paid people.....

Paid Employment =

1. Having to work for the first hour so as to cover the expenses which allow them to travel to work in the first place.

2. And similarly, having to work for the last hour to cover their expenses to allow them to go home again afterwards.

Working in a hospital =

3. Having to work for yet another hour (or maybe more!) so as to cover their hospital car parking charges.

Daft or wot?

Q. Is there a lesson to be learned?
A. Yes.

Solution....

Pack in being an 'employee' and work for yourself.

Doing wot?

Selling things. Preferably your own 'value added things'.

Why?

Well, now for once in your life, there is no ceiling on your earnings. Because of this fact, this is how to become wealthy.

How?

Come on! Do you want me to do it for you? Find it out for yourself.

If only it were that simple EL.

More tosh from the Tory boys 🤡

your hero corbyn will just spend spend spend and borrow borrow borrow and tax tax tax and will signally fail to produce the utopia that he has promised all those bright and not so bright uni students and similar

unfortunately, as has been proved in the past, if you destroy the incentive for people to create personal wealth, they do other things ....... in my case, i'll just retire

😂 You retire? Before you can retire you have to actually had to be doing some work which in your case will be ne'er impossible to prove 🤣😂😃...retire indeed what a dreamer💺

fortunately i know the reality of what i can and cannot afford to do
sadly, it'll mean 3 jobs disappearing from my little office and indeed, we moved h/o to rotterdam a couple of years ago which also cost several jobs here

in the meantime, i'll keep stashing away as much as possible in my pension fund and other tax efficient schemes, none of which are other than vanilla

Manuel.

Many probably think you were or should have been retired already.

My father had on one of the walls of his offices:

"Who ever thinks himself indispensable should put his finger in a bucket of water and notice the hole he leaves when he takes it out."


He said that he read it to himself every day and also reminded others of the same.

I know I often remind myself of that quote.

What percentage of FTSE companies have long and short term "borrowings"? (DEBT)

-=-=-==

Borrowing is in not a problem in itself, it is what you do with the money can be. It is what you build for it or what returns compensate for the cost.

Education, health care infrastructure, technology etc and R and D are often expensive but fortunately, after a time, more often than not, return the investments in many ways. (Social cohesion and well-being being amongst them.)

You can't have a long term healthy economy without a healthy cohesive society,

Manuel,

There is a whisper that tax is going to be raised on SIPPs and long-term pension schemes.

breaking news from labour party via press , we will only look at uni fees but it appears we could never bring in free uni ,

so get out their you labour liars telling them before election we will scrap uni fees now
they have changed it to . we would like to end uni fees but can not

from mc liar

all my tax saved when saving for a pension taken back since I retired they call it contracted out contributions they have take on avge over the last 5 years £97 aweek
off my old age pension.

i don't think i'm indispensable, but fortunately my co-director considers that i am still more than useful and pays me to remain as a consultant

i have little doubt that in due course one chancellor or another or either hue will decide it's time to take a chunk out of that juicy pension pot ...... certainly will not be the first nor the last time as it's such an easy target

my gradulated pension is £34 they can not touch that yet
