@kelvmackenzie You say that, but in Mum's nursing home, Escape to the Country is now part of the day's published activities. They ask to have it on, even when a variety of films are offered. I guess they could cope with old ones on repeat though
@Con_Tomlinson I was once in a & e, seen by a doctor who , in desperation,pointed at her head and said 'this'. Surely that's very basic English? Especially for a doctor.
Someone posted this on Facebook...so true!
Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he's fed.
Tax his work,
Tax his pay,
He works for peanuts
Anyway!
Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.
Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.
Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.
Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.
Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.
When he's gone,
Do not relax,
It's time to apply
The inheritance tax.

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world... We had absolutely no national debt, had a large middle class,a huge manufacturing base, and Mum stayed home to raise the kids.
What in the happened? Could it be the lying parasitic politicians wasting our money?
Oh, and don't forget the relatively new bank charges....
And we all know what we think of Bankers.
I hope this goes around the UK at least 1,000,000,000 times!!!
YOU can help it get there!
@kelvmackenzie Plumbers and electricians et al have a higher income than most, via supply v demand. Shows how out of touch this government is.......and lack of economics understanding
@Jenny_1884 It's literally making us ill with worry and rage, and we are better off than some. Heavens knows when it's going to end. We could cut the mental health budget just by get rid of this government!
@GBNEWS Only if you know that at 16. For those who always understood that you would get a fair pension if you contributed; you should definitely not change the rules for those who are close to retirement and have factored that into your end of life plans
