    My car cost me £4k a decade ago and is still running, but will need replacing soon. The point was that if you're using it for work (and the type of work and if it involves a lot of journeys esp with passengers) it would still be sensible for a car to get something a bit newer and likely to last...

    Godden on the bench is a surprise! Strong on the bench and nice to see 2 up front as well. I reckon Kelly will be playing a bit deeper with Westbrooke and O'Hare pushing on. If O'Hare can get an understanding like Shipley for Zain's through balls he could cause problems. Quite optimistic with...

    No it isn't, the point is that was is considered 'high debt' changes over time. Also what is an acceptable level depends on what you're spending on - if it's day-to-day spending then IMO any deficit is bad, infrastructure and investment far more acceptable and in cases of recession etc should...

    We are looking at it with the benefit of hindsight. PFI at the time was seen as this great way of capital investment in new hospitals/schools etc. Most of the papers were firmly behind it, including our own local rag when Walsgrave was rebuilt. It's also worth remembering that the Labour party...

    Dunno. How many times did he say there would definitely be no border in the Irish Sea or customs checks? He's still repeating 40 new hospitals and 50k new nurses even though one has been totally debunked and the other has no evidence for whatsoever. He's even mentioned the £350m on the side of...

    It's the equivalent of the gearing ratio in business analysis and the acceptable level changes over time dependent on what you can borrow at and also has an upward trend due to perception and availability of debt. In years gone by people looked upon debt in any form as a terrible thing (maybe...

    Yes, a disaster capitalist who has no concern for society or public well-being, just his own bank balance.

    If you're sitting in A&E/Casualty yes. On the wards it's very different.

    Condolences to Willenhall and Aaron's family and friends, especially his young kid who'll be facing Xmas and his life without his dad.. I hope the perpetrators get found quickly and justice is served.

    Tonight for me was very similar to their first debate. Relatively even and whoever you believe the policy of or like the presentation style of you'll probably think won. I think Corbyn just edged it and there did seem to me to be a few Tory fan boys in the audience there clapping loudly for...

    He's actually misunderstood a reply. He said he wants to build a bridge to Ireland and the engineers replied "that's crackers!"

    The annual winter crisis in the NHS has begun. Loads of people doing a drinking game on taking a drink everytime he said get Brexit done and there's now been a huge surge in people arriving at A&E with alcohol poisoning.

    So when has he scored his goals? From starting or off the bench? Snatched us a win, a draw and put us into the lead in injury time before letting in an equaliser. OK, he's play well enough when he's started but you can argue the same of any of Kelly, Walsh, Shipley or Westbrooke on the whole...

    I agree. The whole 'Big Society' was basically a con into how to get people to do stuff for free by people who wouldn't get out of bed for less than most people earn in a month. I've said before that if you wanted to prove how much this system doesn't work and how it's a bottom-up not top-down...

    But does that mean they should be paid less? What this woman is effectively saying is 'exploitation is fine'. That in itself is horrific. To then make the assumption disabled people struggle with the concept of money is sickening. Plenty of physically disabled people have a very good...
