you can get a bus to anywhere in Coventry, but so much work is now outside of the city which is difficult to access by public transport. I managed without a car until into my late 20s as well but I'd struggle without one now.

but so many factories and work places were within the City- Masseys, Jag at Browns Lane, Peugeot, Alvis - how many are now? A car is much more essential nowadays coupled with the fact that fuel and insurance costs have risen.

absolutely no way it's easier now. I bought my first house on shop floor factory workers wage and didn't have to worry about the expense of a car because I could go to work on the bus. Highly unlikely it could be done now and a car is pretty much essential so another big expense. Throw in the...

but you couldn't do that if you both worked days - as i said, everyone's circumstances are different.

the crash was caused because the banks moved away from a system that had worked for years and started giving out money people couldn't afford to pay back. In those days there was also plenty of affordable housing, I thing we would all benefit if there was a return to a similar housing market now.

that's your circumstances but not every ones the same. They may need to stay where they are because they get help with child care from family which they couldn't afford if they moved away from home, there's loads of reasons people cant move. Everyone's circumstances are different. The path I...

but a 2 up 2 down is hardly the lap of luxury, these were the sort of houses we started with. That's why I maintain that things are harder for the youngsters today.

I agree there are people that can't manage their money or see the bigger picture I have came across plenty!

1 change, The Duck for Beavon.

then you can see the point that it's getting harder for people nowadays. A standard 2 up 2 down where I live is around £150,000. Raising the deposit and been able to get a mortgage for the remainder isn't easy, and if you can't you end up paying rent that's higher than the mortgage - I worry for...

the thing is with young players it can take time and we should encourage them - Thomas didn't show much for a while, nor did Jones, (and that's just in recent history). You've got to give youngsters a chance. If Pontecelli gets a run this season you'll have the same idiots on his back if he's...

and getting us relegated with his Martinesque performances - poor business from Mowbray.

Agree, he doesn't look anywhere rear ready for the first tem to me, ( though to be fair he provided a nice assist Saturday).but booing him isn't going to do anything for his confidence. It's quite clear that he isn't going to be first choice in league games anyway. I'm fairly sure that a few of...

sections of our fanbase can't live without a boo boy. Absolute cunts.

but what about people who don't have qualifications or training. Not everyone has it in their locker to be a go getter or achieve sought after qualifications. But there are plenty of people like that who still work their socks off in manual jobs or, for want of a better phrase, menial jobs...

anyone who thinks the BBC are pro Corbyn really needs to have a word with themselves, (their bias against him has been exposed in published reports). I'm not saying they're tory friendly either, I think they would love to see Labour return to a Blairite party.

so the US economy improves and Trump gets credit even though he's only been in the job 9 months but some on here still blame Labour for the state of the UK economy even though the tories have been in power for 7 years?!!

when it comes to "tosh" youre no slouch yourself!

thanks Tony - we love you.

I've read some Mark Billingham but not this one. I'll give it a go on IPlayer.
