I am spoken for sweetheart.

Right, please stop trying to be funny.

Because you're not.

 Like the Scotland national football team, you are a gift that keeps on giving.

The Friday wine bar soiree with the chardonnay socialists was moved to Saturday this week I take it?

Yeah, saw that. Its a village. Although that surrey countryside outside of it is very nice.

Hated the whole area because it wasnt a great time and people from Surrey are just posh dicks.

Think it was instigated by the Tory MP for Bolton West at the time who's name escapes me who was from there

Also had a housemate from there who is also hands down the most massive twat I've ever lived with

He talked posh too

Fuck Crowbourgh

 I am intrigued by the snitch. They turn on their own a lot don't they? Streeting ahead in the polls.

Only time Streeting and street ahead used in the same sentence ☺

There are too many reasons why I hate that part of the world. But yes, fuck Crowbourgh. To a person, I've never met a nice person from Surrey

Starmer will be Prime Minister until the next General Election in 2029. You lot don't half get excited about utter nonsense.

Step away from the keyboard Cheesey. Everyone knows that you’re a twat. You don’t have to keep proving it. 😀

Apologies for being a pedantic twat, but isn't Crowborough in Sussex ?

Of course you do. Did you spot a headline on the front page of The Sun while you were buying a pint of milk again?

As you insinuated I was lying, here are pictures of my garage/workshop

Love it... are those bird boxes?

I lost my lockup workshop earlier this year... landlord has sold up to a house builder.

We're downsizing soon but a large garage-workshop is in the requirement 🙂

It's taken you 3 days to prove you don't watch GBNews by taking some photos of some wood in a garage. 👍

Have you made those houses mate? I wish I was good at something like this! 😁

[athywhite1958]

Yes, so far I have made 8 and I give them to mates, I have a list of orders for local groups like Friends of Atherton Park etc, I get most of my wood free ie pallets so I don';t charge anything, I enjoy doing them, I have made 30 6 x 3 fence panels, 3 6 x 6 gates and 5 planters. Retirement is great

This upcoming budget is proving to be a bit of a challenge for poor old Rachel. Hope there’ll be no more tears. 

What would you do?

I have my bingo card ready just in case ☺️

we could cut the overseas donations I'm sure, save a few million quid

£14B last year, in "foreign aid"  apparently. 

I'm not saying we should stop it, but maybe take a view on how much and to who, and what it's actually/really used for. 

Like, I guess, pretty much everybody on here, I don't know what we actually get back for it, so I don't know what impact cutting it would have to us

Aye.

Many millions to help foreign farmers for example.

Yep, sadly to make it even worse, we made a collective decision to fuck our farmers over a few years ago as well

Good financial advice doesn’t come cheap. How much are you willing to pay?

I’ll give these two bits of advice for free.

Don't pretend to be an economist just because you’ve spent some time in a bank in customer complaints

Don’t vote for a party with a Chancellor who worked for a bank in customer complaints.
