Aye, we are, not them. :O:

[Tribesman]

strange logic.
So they are complaining that people are filling up with cheap drink before they hit the social spots and that they do that because the pubs and clubs are too expensive for drinking in in comparison.
Have they ever thought of reducing the tax on beer served in pubs so getting plastered of cheap crappy tasting alcohol before the night starts would be a much less attractive option.

Just out of interest, are beer runs to the mainland still a big business over in britain and will the new proposals make the trips even more lucrative again while feeding the euro coffers and robbing the UK treasury of the duty and VAT?

[Jimbuna]

Aye, we are, not them. :O:

Quite likely :hmmm:

I thought the cost of fuel had ruled out cheap booze-cruise runs, unless you live in Kent!

[jumpy]

You get in from work, you have a shower, get changed, taxi to the nearest pub worth going to, meet friends have a few drinks, grab something to eat and taxi home. - your lucky to have change out of £50
A few cheap cans from the shop and a bag of chips - less than a tenner.
Many people are taking the cheaper option, all this legislation will do is make them even more miserable with life in the UK

Says it all for just about everyone who I know.

Question: Why do many people spend much of their earnings on booze on a weekend?

It's not because of alcoholism, or 'binge drinking culture'... it's because a large percentage of our working population spends long hours in menial jobs, working for bosses who'd fire them as soon as look at them. They have no real chance to put their earnings by for the future or a rainy day, so they go out and enjoy what little of their lives that they can, down the pub with their mates, before they have to go back to work for the next 40-60 hours a week until they're too old to work anymore.

If that's not reason enough to drink a lot, and fight when the opportunity presents itself, I don't know what is.

It's a social and economic issue, like most of britains problems.

[Jimbuna]

Times have never changed the working class mans life in recent decades and if I'm tbh none of the three current political parties have the answer...the only difference between them is the 'spin' they put on it.

I've absolutely no time for Clegg and his bunch of minor numbered (parliamentary seat wise) lying cronies but I shudder to think how far Cameron and his sycophants would have gone without the Lib Dems views around the decision making process.

[STEED]

The big three between them have screwed this country up.

Our politicians can't even agree on the color of poop lately so I doubt it.

In fairness though you gotta remember that we're two different societies with different forms of government so what works for them may not necessarily work for us over here.

Still it'd be interesting to see what they come up with. Brits can be pretty darned clever.

[Rockstar]

Lol the Brits and their beer. Ya can't have one without the other its part of their heritage.

I visited many cities and towns throughout the U.S. Of those first settled by the Brits in the 1600 & 1700's all had one thing in common when it came to planning. The very first thing they always built in every single settlement was a pub! Next was the gunpowder storehouse then came business and shelters.

I just keep wondering if history is repeating, it's like we're in the early 1980s all over again. If the Unions hadn't have been massacred by Maggie I imagine we would have heavy strike action going on right now.

Guess the old saying about history repeating because people haven't learnt is true.

And jumpy, you're spot on there. :yep:

Good post and one I echo in the main but with one caveat...binge drinking in towns and city centres is in the main carried out by teens and young people yet the number of unemployed young people is at an unprecedented level.

Was thinking about this. I seems reasonable to me that those young people are simply doing what their folks used to do, but with their own spin to it, driven mainly by the price of booze in pubs... £3 a pint, fo reeeal?
In their turn, these young people have their own dead end backwater existence; in lieu of soul destroying labour, they have seemingly less employment and secure prospects than their parents ever had, all the while seeing the 'elite' of our economic society telling them what they need and ought to have without means to attain. What better way to stave off the demons of uncertainty and penury than by getting loaded?

Perhaps the demographic changes a little, but it's still a social and economic issue. :x

F e c k less youth? Only because we've made them so. (stupid filter)

[STEED]

Up the Revolution, smash the corrupt state. :ping:;)

[STEED]

There is another reason for this binge drinking problem we have, people can not be bothered to act and let the government push them around. Dose not matter who is in power they will continual to push people around, people as in the voter have forgotten this fact...They work for us.

How many people make the effort to write to their MP or even see them? You got to make these MP's work for you by giving them Hell. If the voter can not be bothered to act why should any government care about them?

The drink idea is nothing more than a PA stunt just like this one today..

Food and drink companies have promised to cut calories in their products to help tackle obesity in the UK.

The 17 firms, which include Coca-Cola, Subway and Tesco, have signed up to the government scheme.

The Department of Health says England has one of Europe's highest obesity rates and that consuming too many calories is the root of the problem.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-17496660

Nanny State at it again, calorie in take is one thing but it comes down to how much food your eating & how active your are. So the Nanny State wants to take over and the result? Man rushed to hospital after a heart attack bought on by being over weight, he tells the hospital the government is in charge of his weight so why should he do sod all about it then goes on to take the government to court for failing to look after him. :doh:


I'm afraid George Orwell has got it right, until the proletarians wake up nothing will change for the better.

[kranz]

such comparisons are kinda worthless.
In Egypt 1 litre costs around 0,25 Euro. So maybe let's all go there, including the author of this qq thread.
Let's better check how many hours does one have to work to buy a full tank of gas (let's say 55 l.)
Average salary in Poland: 3 Euro/h.
Average gas price: 1,5 Euro/l.
The result: 27 hours.

In Germany it's something like 10. Dunno about GB. Probably even less than 10.

[jumpy]

For the highest price of diesel in the UK (153.9ppl), to fill up my 89L tank with minimum wage earnings would take the following sum -
89L x 153.9p
= £136.97.1

136.97 / 6.08 PH
= 22.52 hours / 8
= 2.8 days

None of these figures (except the price of a litre of diesel) take into account Tax or National Insurance contributions.
So it costs about 3 days to afford to pay for a tank of diesel. Call it 4.5 when taking taxation of earnings into it to give a bit of leeway..

Just think, how many times a months do you brim your tank to travel to work and back? Once, twice.... more?

:o

[kraznyi_oktjabr]

:o Good grief!! imagine if you had to travel over 100ks per day to get to work!:dead:In my dad's case it depends on departure depot (he is bus driver). When shift starts in local depot daily commute is just 50 km. When it starts in second depot daily commute is 200 km.

In Germany it's something like 10. Dunno about GB. Probably even less than 10.Same calculation here in Finland:
Average salary (from 2010): 14,59 Euro/h
Yesterday's average price for diesel: 1,577 Euro/L
Cost to fill tank (using your tank size): 55*1,577=86,735 -> 86,74 €

Because that info is outdated I add 50 cents to it in effort compensate (will update this if I find uptodate data): 15,09 €. So with this (assumed) figure it would take 5,7 hours worth of work to refill tank. This is based on average male citizen's wage which is higher than female wage.

Btw, its very cold day in hell when my dad earns that average. :shifty: Also, unless company has changed it's policy it doesn't pay for waiting time. So for example if dad takes customers from place A to place B he gets paid only from drive time and time when serving customers. In extreme case that means that he may get four hour worth of pay from 12 hour work day. (I hope old CEO took that policy to his grave)

[Jimbuna]

In the UK it would take a minimum wage earner .23 hours work to pay for a litre of petrol costing 1.42p

Multiply the above by 4.54 and it would take the same person 1.04 hours to be able to purchase a gallon.

Here in Utah a miminum wage worker can buy about 2-1/5 gallons for one hours work. Of course that means it takes a full day's work to fill up the tank for a week.

Yeah and do you know what the ironic thing is?

The Tory party was one of the major criticisers against Labour's plans.

So regardless of whether the law is needed or not, the Conservatives are yet again, putting party politics over the well being of this country.

Yeah I remember the coal miners strike well (being one myself) Arthur Scargill walked straight into that evil cows trap. If he had taken a ballot on all his members he would have got the vote and the backing of a lot of other unions, (like the dock workers union) and the out come would have been totally different.

Yeah me too....felt a lot of compassion for the miners who suffered great depravation from the actions of their leader and national exec.

'Green Tax' For Eco-Friendly Renovations

Homeowners could be forced to pay for eco-friendly renovations when they want to make simple household repairs under plans being considered by the Government.
The scheme would affect people installing windows, boilers or even conservatories in what has been dubbed a 'green tax'.
Local councils would be given powers to make you add a new roof and wall insulation or draught proofing on doors before giving you the go-ahead.

Over to BossMark to blow his top. :03: :)

Over to jim for witty remark.

[Kongo Otto]

:o That is very cheap by European standards. Here in Finland one litre of gasoline costs around US$2.25 - US$2.50

:o:doh:

And I thought we had it bad.

Almost the same Prices here in Germany.
Premium E5: 2.20 $ per litre
Regular E10: 2,17$ per litre
Premium Plus: 2,27$ per litre
Diesel: 1,99$ per litre

And 3 Pounds for a beer is not very expensive by Munich price standards.
For example: Löwenbräu (Draught) 0,5 litre 3,40€ (about 2,80 pound)
and when you go to a Beergarden in Munich preper to pay between 7 and 8 € per litre.
Ah an by the way if you like Guinnes the price for a pint is actually about 5€ (4,12 Pound) per pint.

[Jimbuna]

Over to jim for witty remark.

My windows and conservatory are relatively new (3 years) so tax the wealthy because they are probably the only ones who can afford such renovations since the tories came into power :yeah:

Don't tax doors just yet because I'm seriously considering a black grp composite version :DL

[Tribesman]

True the DM goes over board but never the less this government is looking in to it.
If you look into it the "new" thing it is only a tiny insignificant proposed reworking of the current long running grant system for renovations.

I think if this was to go ahead there would be a backlash which they rather not see.
You mean like the crazy backlash when they redid the upstairs windows renovation rules so it included fire safety as well as the usual thermal efficiency...
yeah there was mobs in the street for that especially as the additional grant only really kicked in if your building was one which already had planning restrictions of the appearance of any windows you wanted to put in(ie you already had to use leaded lights or sash window and the new fire safety feature was more expensive in those designs).

Is your Chancellor really that mind numbingly dumb on such simple tax matters?
Is he simply lying when he says he is "shocked"?

Or a third question.
Does the smug git expect you people to swallow that bull after his speech about how the 5p tax cut was badly needed to stop top rate taxpayers avoiding tax?

Dear Mr. Cameron,
Please find below our suggestion for fixing the UK’s economy.
Instead of giving billions of pounds to banks that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan.
You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:
There are about 10 million people over 50 in the work force.
Pay them £1 million each severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:
1) They MUST retire.
Ten million job openings -- unemployment fixed
2) They MUST buy a new British car.
Ten million cars ordered -- Car Industry fixed
3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage --
Housing Crisis fixed
4) They MUST send their kids to school/college/university --
Crime rate fixed
5) They MUST buy £100 WORTH of alcohol/tobacco a week …..
And there’s your money back in duty/tax etc
It can’t get any easier than that!
P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of parliament pay back their falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances
If you think this would work, please forward to everyone you know.
Also………..
Let’s put the pensioners in jail and the criminals in a nursing home.
This way the pensioners would have access to showers, hobbies and walks.
They’d receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical treatment, wheel chairs etc and they’d receive money instead of paying it out.
They would have constant video monitoring, so they could be helped instantly, if they fell, or needed assistance.
Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be ironed and returned to them.
A guard would check on them every 20 minutes and bring their meals and snacks to their cell.
They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose.
They would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual counselling, pool and education.
Simple clothing, shoes, slippers, PJ’s and legal aid would be free, on request.
Private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard, with gardens.
Each senior could have a PC a TV radio and daily phone calls.
There would be a board of directors to hear complaints, and the guards would have a code of conduct that would be strictly adhered to.
The criminals would get cold food, be left all alone and unsupervised. Lights off at 8pm, and showers once a week. Live in a tiny room and pay £600.00 per week and have no hope of ever getting out.

Resign? That would require backbone and those chinless wonders are spineless gits.
But look on the bright side.
Murdoch has been throwing money and "jobs" around to try and secure politicians backing for his TV expansion in your country, yet his organisations criminal activities mean that he could lose his UK broadcasting licence entirely which may mean his attempts were in vain:yeah:
plus with the growing list of allegations over corruption and criminal activity in Britain he is also leaving himself open to seriously expensive prosecutions in the US through the branch of his media empire over there.

edit to add...talking of spineless gits. Clegg could simply cross the floor and collapse the minority government, but as his party are down to 8% it does mean they face total oblivion in an election now rather than oblivion in 2 years.

Local elections

Snip it from my ward news...

Looks like by the number of posters up the Liberal's will get back in here, why? Have the true Liberal hard core voters forgotten their party jumped into bed with the conservatives?

Rec'd a conservative leaflet today! First one in 20 years! Full of waffle about national issues screw that this is a local election not the big one. I want to know what they plan do about the litter around here.

Labour knocked on my door, sorry not voting for you as this is the first time in 10 years you bothered to knock on the door.

So do I vote for the Greens or put on my ballot paper..None of above.

Go on BossMark knock yourself out having a bloody good rant at this one..

Jeremy Hunt Fights For His Political Career

Among his supporters, Jeremy Hunt has been spoken of in the past as a rising star and potential Tory leader - not now.
A day of devastating evidence at the Leveson inquiry, much of it in damning emails, has left him fighting for political survival.

"I have managed to get JH quickly before he went in to see Swan Lake...and have further chat."

The mind boggles :DL

[Tribesman]

The mind boggles
Well he had to catch him out of the office, too many people were asking questions about meetings that were not to have taken place and discussions on subjects that were not to be discussed.
I do like the Cable one where he wants Newscorp to do news articles on his war on immigrants as having news about the ballsup over tuition fees was hitting his base support...just as a favour like as he cannot talk about the other matter at all as its getting really dodgy but if Newcorp talk to his friend instead as a proxy for himself then he can say he didn't discuss it.


Do you get the feeling Murdoch knows he is screwed and is taking the bastards with him because they abandoned him after the hacking of that murdered schoolgirls phone?

Hunt: I Will Hand Texts And Emails To Leveson


And Leveson says it isn't his job to investigate matters relating to breaches of the ministerial code, there is a specific office set up to do exactly that...so use it.:yeah:

You gotta love it, he spent the past two days making Rupert look like a deluded fool and now in one simple statement has managed to screw over Hunt Cameron and Clegg

[Oberon]

The Leveson inquiry has been some of the best television on our screens in quite a while! You never know who is going to get shafted next! :yeah:

Robert Jay in particular has been quite the star, grilling Murdoch nicely.
