Today is…

for soop and Mr.soop

Well done soop (& Mr Soop)

Fingers crossed for you soop!

Soop 'good news day' for you then

Have just this minute received a most favourable response from a builder. Early days, I know, but we're both uplifted. May need to celebrate with a wee dram later.

Dark grey sky in Cheshire but not raining or snowing. Are you in the frozen north east absent ?

Oh for goodness sake

Dagenham.

Write to the Palace Frank and get them to send you a couple of packets of crisps. That'll even things up a bit.

Frank Without your hourly input, this forum would seem almost sane.

What a left wing point of view from Frank; I'd never have put him down as a republican! Mind you, it's still about money...

Who's Annie?

They could squeeze quite a few holidays out of that £300,000, Frank The imterest on it would be something like £8,000 to £9,000 a year.

Annie

A million £'s is not much these days.
You only have to be 60 with a £20,000 per annum occupational pension which has a value of £400,000 as you are expected to live 20 years after 60 for pension purpose, a house worth £300,000 and savings of £300,000 and you are a millionaire.
A lot of people have got that but they are not in a position to go on an exotic holiday for example 4 times a year.

Frank

Does it work that way, though? You mean millionaires might be paying £1 or even more a year towards the upkeep of the royals?

Hi Notso

Again I don't want to pay.
I am a pensioner but some of my pension is taxed at 40% so I think I am paying more than 55p.

Dunno Frank I talk tosh quite a lot (in my opinion)

If the roads had not been closed you could have joined the cavalcade, Frank

So could a million other cars and lorries. That would have successfully jammed up the whole shebang, and the rest of London too.

It wasn't closed for the wedding guests, it was so that the inevitable traffic jams were at least partly under control. Blame all the idiots who would certainly have tried to get their fifteen minutes of fame.

Might be 55p then Frank. It all adds up.

Notso

The Royal Family must cost me more than 52p as I pay above average tax.
I would rather spend it on a couple of packets of chrisps or a can of dog food for Andie.

Frank

moomin

Nobody talks tosh in their own opinion.

Frank

Ana

No but I wanted to drive my car on the roads in London on the roads which were blocked off at the time of the recent Royal Wedding and my friend wanted to drive his lorry behind my car.

Frank

Sack George Osborne if he tries to spend any money without my approval.

Frank

Wow Frank! How would you spend the 52p a year in tax the Royal Family cost you each year? Have you got a list? Maybe put it towards that house on your other thread?

Frank, I'm afraid you talk absolute tosh (in my humble opinion )
