Inflation up and rising. Costs to businesses up. Energy prices going up again in January. Not long ago I paid £68 per month for gas and electricity. In the winter I was able to have my heating on 1-1.1/2 hours in the morning, then again 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. I now pay £85 per month (Just increased by my supplier) and I have it on for two hours at night. Absolutely bonkers. Whilst I admit and I was just as p*ssed off as most people with the Tories, Labour have steam rollered in like a bull in a china shop and now costs are and will keep increasing by more than they needed to. Companies will cut costs by cutting hours or even laying people off. Will put prices up whilst giving lower wage increases. This in turn will lead to workers striking for higher pay. There's a saying "You can't burn the candle at both ends" Labour are trying to put all the ills made by the previous Government in one go. It is too much all at once and is already leading to many sections of our community taking to the streets or totally feed up with a Party that has only been in power a few months. |  | | |  |

I'm going to look at my wall a lot differently, now knowing it's just a small version of a house without a roof!
We have a pub near us that has a beer garden and (what I've always know as) a "gate" at the back. However, this beer garden is permanently covered - so a form of roof. Therefore surely that beer garden is actually another room, and the gate at the back is actually a door?! [Post edited 21 Nov 2024 15:16]

Is a snooker table really just an elaborate pair of trousers? |
why is it a snooker table when the definition of a table is something you eat, write or work from... | |

It could be two pairs of trousers, because it has four legs, but they would have to be hollow and open topped so that you could put your own legs into them. In which case it might stop working as a snooker table because there would be four additional apertures for the balls to go down and those apertures would be difficult to retrieve balls from. Also, if two people were using the snooker table as trousers they would have to be ready to agree which direction to walk in. |  |

Bring back Liz Truss I say. She was bril. |
At least she had the decency to leave pretty sharpish. She one of the better PMs in recent memory for that reason alone. | | | |

Good point, also the legs would have to have open ends at the bottom to allow the feet through otherwise you are repurposing your snooker table as tights. | |

Well the previous government damaged the economy by pulling us out of the EU without a trade deal. |
The main problem with Brexit wasn't the idea of Brexit, but the fact that the result was almost 50/50 meaning that there wasn't the overwhelming public support to get it through. There was a lot of sabotage from politicians who were probably 70/30 in favour of remaining.
I support the concept of Brexit, but I voted remain knowing that it would be a disaster to try and implement anything under the political circumstances. | | | |

It's a bit too much to expect them to turn everything around in 6 months; and I don't think it's right to say they're tackling everything at once. They've barely started on some areas (e.g. education, council budgets and plenty more). There's just a LOT that's been disinvested in over a long period of time. The UK is like Towen were under Evans. Maybe Gamechanger could help Labour sort it all about, I'm sure Ashton would like a crack at being PM. |
I don't think anyone is thinking that they will make everything better, they just need to move the country in the right direction, but if anything they look like they are speeding up the decline. | | | |

Please educate me with your vast knowledge in running a business.
In your opinion, making money is not the sole reason for running a business.
What are the other reasons? |
I don't run TWTD to make money, indeed at some points in its existence it's been a bit of a struggle to do so anyway. People run businesses for a variety of reasons, not just making money. |  | | |

The minimum wage is not generous.
People giving up 1800+ hours per year (based on 33 days holiday total) absolutely deserve £25,000.
The worst paid jobs tend to be the sh1t jobs as well like retail, customer service etc. |
That is not how value works. There is only a job if your wage plus all the associated costs (roughly about the same again) is less than the money that your labour brings in.
Raising the minimum wage like that is just a recipe for inflation and unemployment. | | | |

Zero.
When people are giving up their time to do a crap job it's just a bit of a stretch to say the current £11.44 an hour minimum is generous. Especially when it's then taxed.
I do feel for businesses and think they should have introduced a wealth tax instead to raise funds. |
Wow, you show an utter lack of understanding of how business and the world works. | | | |

No, an unethical businessman. And that is why we're fundamentally different people. The fact that you think the only point of running a business is to make money says it all. Me, me, me. The typical Tory attitude. |
The only thing that keeps you in business is making money. Then all the positive effects that your business can have on individuals and the local community is lost. Making a reasonable profit is actually a moral good. It just seems like you don't understand that. | | | |

But a snooker table doesn't have a zip or buttons at the front, and trousers don't have a nicely varnished walnut surround or a green baize top. | |

It just seems like you have the inability to read. Because nowhere have I said or even suggested that businesses shouldn't make money. Have another try. | |

Have a read and educate yourself. It's actually beneficial to the employer (as well as the employee) to not only pay the raised minimum wage... but to go further (as thousands of small, medium and large businesses have) and pay a Real Living Wage. | |

Or, alternatively, I fully understand how it works and think it could be a lot better.
If you understand how the world works and still support it then I would say it's you who is wrong. | |

This is general tab, so not discussing football on this Flash. i've already answered your view on that one anyway.
I tend to notice when you're running out of counter points to defend your original view as you've not come up with an actual counter back - perhaps your mrs charity doesn't have a sole aim of making money to keep itself going for example?
But No, im not wriggling out of anything, I was upfront first of all in that you and I can define things differently, I've no interest in what the English Language tells me, that's again someone elses personal definition to write it in the first place. It's actually quite an interesting thought really, is a door a door for example, or is it a gate? we call it a door because that's what someone called it, but what makes it a door and not a gate? If everyone defined the door as a gate, would it suddenly become a gate? one for the wine tasting later lol |

No one fully understands how the World works but we each have a bundle of information that, maybe, helps us get enough out of our particular situation to flourish to some degree.
Our understanding helps to determine our behaviour, which we hope will bring us advantages but which may also lead us into conflict with others who compete for resources that are scarce. The extent to which we can adapt our behaviour to pursue common goals can build mutually beneficial societies or can enjoin us to leviathans that seek to control others (and that require considerable obedience from those who comprise the leviathan.)
That's one way of looking at it. | |
