His suggestion of Adding Council tax bands A-C is the best suggestion I've heard throughout all of this, another blunt instrument (or simple to administer) but using both together gives a far better solution :thumbsup: This is what should be done to address that significant number who are just...

You old romantic :lolol: "I'm going to do this speech rather like the Groom's mother sang in church, with no real notes"

They stopped using the ball with the bell in it after the horrendous incident that hospitalised those Morris Dancers ???

Starmer holding himself to higher standards ? Well his predecessor Johnson in his equivalent first 10 weeks Promised to get Brexit Done by 31st October and announced he 'would rather die in a ditch than delay Brexit past that date' Had the Police investigate his awarding of £126,000 of public...

Strange post for Ronnie to come charging into the ongoing conversation. I'm guessing that was supposed to be from the other account :laugh: But if the chuckle brothers are trolling across the board I'll call it a night :bigwave: (I wonder which one will respond with an emoji :dunce: )

Isn't that beachwear weather up your way :wink:

I wouldn't get involved in the intricacies of what happened. If the issue is the mortgage, see my post above. Good luck :thumbsup:

I would PM @Uncle Spielberg personally. He was extremely helpful when my son had a different but 'difficult' mortgage to try and arrange, and he will know the best way to deal with it. It's where I would go for any advice on mortgages :thumbsup:

How to use Google Here you go, happy to help :thumbsup:

I'm not on X :shrug: The list was simply indicative of how stupid this statement was :laugh:

You mean like Gary Barlow, Darren Gough, Tony Hadley, Christopher Biggins, Ian Botham, Zandra Rhodes, Tim Rice, Vinnie Jones, William Roache, Gloria Hunniford, Peter Stingfellow, Andrew Lloyd Weber, Frank Lampard, Jim Davidson, Rick Wakeman, Anthony Worrall Thompson, Bill Wyman and Brian Ferry...

If they are that variety that stay rock hard on the outside while going brown/black inside, then yes. But what do you expect if you're not a feeler-squeezer-sniffer :wink:

A few guys the wrong side of 70 still 'getting by' here, a year ago :wink:

Just seen it. And there's still people who will vote for Trump ? Incredible, just incredible 😲

The 2M that Age UK are estimating includes the 880,000 who are entitled to benefits but don't claim. https://www.ageuk.org.uk/norwich/about-us/news/2024/as-many-as-2-million-pensioners-could-face-the-cold-following-winter-fuel-payment-cuts-says-age-uk/ But that is yet another issue that has...

I have no idea, but we do know it isn't even close to any sort of majority of pensioners, so . I have said many many many times I think the cut off should be higher, but nobody seems to have a suggestion, let alone an answer. And 'picking on the most vulnerable in society' is bollocks. For the...

Here you go for some stats https://www.yourmoney.com/retirement/huge-jump-in-the-number-of-pensioners-paying-higher-rates-of-tax/ and this lot believe there will be more pensioners than workers in the higher tax band in a couple of years...

Well if it includes the 10% who currently have an income of over 50K and the 25% who are millionaires, I can imagine it being quite large :wink: (And of course I understand that large proportions of that wealth are tied up in property and pensions, and isn't easily accessible monthly income...

I wondered how long before someone bought up 'the war' which nobody on NSC or any of these pensioners we are talking about were ever involved in :laugh:

I would support it if it didn't target 10% of pensioners based entirely on annual income and consequently bring in 10% of the figure needed. Given that 25% of pensioners are currently millionaires, I personally believe it should move the other way a bit :wink:
