welcome to my world.

I know a couple of people who have tried to get things going in the town centre and let's just say they have been less than complimentary about the council. I didn't know for sure about their refusal to drop business rates but suspected it. They don't seem to have a strategy for attracting...

I will always defend my city as it get some undeserved stick but the state of the city centre is indefensible. I think one of Coventrys major plus points is it's convenient location but I also think that gives the city centre a problem because it's just too easy to get somewhere better quickly...

our welfare spend is actually quite low, if Vodafone paid all their taxes you could fund the welfare state 6 times over. There should be a safety net for people who have health problems, made redundant etc. The right wing press have stigmatised receiving benefits but it needs to be there for...

that wouldn't be too far out!

That's brilliant. I'm actually gutted that that never got off the ground,

the wealth gap was never what it is now before and the country functioned perfectly well but greed has took over. We've dropped from 4th to 5th biggest world economy and it's predicted we will drop again so the increase disparity in wealth distribution and the shrinking of the welfare state seem...

or how little they can get for their money

there's plenty of evidence about the growing wealth gap in this country from far better sources than the CET. To be honest, if you walk round with your eyes open then you don't need to have it pointed out.

I agree there has to be a wealth gap, it's when it get's too big it's a problem. And when it get's too big it's no longer capitalism - we're moving into that territory.

It's not about ease, it's about necessity. You didn't take your test until 29, I passed mine in my early twenties but didn't have a car until I was about 28. A lot of people can't get away with that now so a car is a necessary added expenditure for many. With a two year exception I never worked...

you're right, Northern Europe, but from 6 months ago. So you don't agree with it? You think there isn't a growing wealth gap in this country?

talking of retro. I was walking past a shop yesterday and noticed Docs were £99 reduced from £115!! When did they get so expensive?

we got caught out with an endowment, literally had to start again from scratch with a repayment. what a shit idea they were!

not everyone blames every one though. One of my pet hates is people who blame everyone else whenever things don't go their way so I know the sort of people you're talking about, I've met plenty of them and they come from all strands of society. As for blaming the goverment, well that's...

yep. Some decent discounts, my son gave most of his to his mate who goes most home games but doesn't have a ST.

but there's not Nick - some people today are really up against it and the one size fits all solutions that you and Astute are giving don't work for everyone. I would love to say we had it harder than the youngsters today and they don't know how lucky they are but I don't believe that. I'm 50...

but a 300 quid banger still needs fuel and insurance, it's another expense that wasn't such a necessity when I was younger.
