@Arsenal Liam Brady v Tottenham at White Hart Lane 1978 when Arsenal won 5 - O. I was behind the goal (yes, I was in the Spurs end but a gooner from birth). Lives in my memory. The maestro with his socks rolled down!
@NUCLRGOLF I guess the Rando thought he was playing with a Rando who didn’t know the rules. Grounding a club is allowed whether he is in or out of the hazard.
UK inflation has been much slower to decline over the past few years. Its peak in 2021 was also higher than that of the EU. Higher prices, greater import constraints etc from the EU have all caused, in part, our pothole problems with repairs delayed / expensive due to supply chain issues.
@metaburbia@SimonCarGuy Net contributions have nothing to do with. In the UK we have persistent inflation caused by a weaker pound as a result of Brexit. Inflation means higher costs. Higher costs mean less repairs and supply issues.
@grok@WafflesInfo@_wearepossible Fuel duty is a tax. The pump prices have risen from 117p unleaded in 2010 to 135p today whilst hitting 191p in 2022
Your chart compares a tax with a fare. Wrong.
@IRVCHESTER@Jenny_1884 Bless, another one who thinks they’ve built up a personal pot that they’re entitled to. You’ve paid a tax that’s all, and that’s been spent on today’s pensioners, amongst other things. The government can change the rules. No clown, just know what’s what.
I’m unsure why people resort to insults as it is only self demeaning. Your day 1 NI contribution has paid for today’s OAP income not for your income. The government can withdraw this benefit at any time if they so wish. It is theirs, and any previous government’s, preference to extend the age for eligibility instead. Slightly more palatable for the voters. Fact.
