Ran the pension credit calculator and a single man aged 80 still paying rent or mortgage, on a combined state + private pension of £280 a week (which is average) is not entitled to pension credit. £280 per week - £100 rent - £20 Council Tax - £10 Water Bills - £20 Insurance - £20 Energy - £20...

So you've done a complete about-turn on the thread you started? Top work 👏

To give him credit he well understands all this, it's just hurting him that he has been mugged off voting for Labour.

Oh no UK economy unexpectedly flatlines for second month in row Pre-election slowdown continues in July despite economists predicting growth of 0.2%

I know, embarrassing

But something does not have to go, does it? Your cope is off the scale in the last day or two.

How does inflation hit you less, it is relative to what you consume. If food inflation is running at 15% your costs still go up by 15% whether you spend £50 a week or £100 a week and if you're on £350 per week state + private pension or £700 per week take home pay.

I listened on 5Live too, I distinctly remember Chris Waddle saying "Best player on the park"

Well no, it shows the UK still hasn't recovered even to its pre-covid piss poor performance. Why did it see a much greater economic decline during Covid than the EU or US? Who was in charge at that point?

While I do think it is weird, it's tempered with the fact he's worn his business atire. It would have been very weird if he'd put some training kit on.

Surely the Crows Nest was closed by then? The Kop was split into some different pens almost like tiers from the late 80s. I would think the Crows Nest was condemned post Bradford Fire (1985)
