daytripping Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Just thinking about people struggling, think I'll pop a couple of tins into the food bank collection trolley at the supermarket, every little helps. If we all did it we'd make a difference. Way better idea than launching money at them, will be spent on booze and fags, not all cases but the majority. Link to comment

Aye, you were very complimentary of the benefits system in the Oil Victims thread. Link to comment

I get it for £36. Carribean Cask was very cheap in Sainsbury's recently so restocked on that. Wouldn't advise the 17 yr old. Treated myself to a bottle in December, first time I'd tasted it, very gorgeous but can't justify the cost. My local has the 14 year old for £3.50 a nip! The biggest bargain in booze. Link to comment

Funny enough I was speaking to a guy on Tuesday, caddie at the Old Course, who picked Strawberries for 4 months over the summer. Sounded brutal, hard fucking work, but he was clearing £400 to £500 a week with overtime. The situation on the Berry farms was very different to how it was portrayed by the tories/papers Link to comment

Reed or deed Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 How the fuck can small businesses contemplate paying 55% of an employees wages for 33% of their hours? Given employees are only working 33% of their hours, does this not also suggest that production and in most cases, sales and margins are down by a relative percentage. So, in a lot of respects, it will actually be costing an employer/business owner to operate, rather than making profit. Can’t see that trending myself. Link to comment

How does the maths work out if someone works 50% of their hours, does government pay 1/6 of the remaining 50%? How much would business have to pay? All over my head but hopefully it keeps some folk in a job. Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Aye we just get stuff for our kids and other folks' kids these days. Although there's a few folk that get for our kids that don't have kids themselves so we feel obliged to get them something. Link to comment
Studebaker-90 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I keep getting asked what I want for my birthday. It’s a significant milestone one but I can’t honestly think of anything to suggest. Trying hard to think of something you want actually never turns out to be something you actually need.

I got bored of it and didn't bother after 3/4 a.m. Not worth doing these days. CTF. Cut te fuck and shit quality. Rare to find a supplier of good quality but they are out there. A lot of muck though.
