It’s a load of money in my world too, but I remember earning £30 a day hod carrying as a kid and at the time that was a lot of money to me but I told brickies to go f**k themselves plenty of times ! Value and price mate, value and price.

I’m not well off but we just get by and that’s fine by me mate.

100% yes…… I mean it’s a bit of a mute point because nobody is going to pay 100/150 k over the asking price so the reality is he may have said 10 k more and the answer would have definitely been no. 3 years ago I told a bloke to go f**k himself on a job that would have cleared me 40k for a days work and a few emails because I didn’t like his chairman’s tone of voice and turn of phrase at our initial meeting…..I thought they were f***ing rude !, so when he was on the phone begging for the quote I told him “no” If you sell your principals then all anyone is ever doing is negotiat

Money will make a lot of people loose their principals in a heartbeat. When I sold my house in England I expressly told the estate agents no 3rd world types…..I thought he was going to have a seizure ! Lol He sent one round anyway and I made the bloke sit outside for 2 hours while the estate agent bombarded me with phone calls saying “A potential buyer is outside”, I said “I know, I’m looking at him out my front window” ! ”But he is a cash buyer” I said “I don’t give a shit what he is, I told you no 3rd world types” “But you can’t do that” ”Well I am doing it it

I looked at a house when me and my wife was first going out, best part of 30 year ago now….it was £60,000 and I remember us racking our heads and think “oh, this is a bit much for us at the minute” That same house today is over half a million quid……but here is the thing, the price I was getting for certain bits of stock is lower now than it was then……diesel was about £0.54 a litre then ? What’s it now?, £1:40 ? (It’s €1:70 + here !! ) In effect you have to work 3 x as hard to have the same or less, that’s not just inflation, that’s a scam any way you cut it. A few people have f

Our mate Jukel has stuck to his socialist principals and is throwing his breakfast scraps from his Villa balcony to starving, homeless locals instead of putting them in the bin ! Lol Power to the people comrades ! Lol

Id also ask, what’s the price for this “levelling up” in say a nice rural area of Northumbria?…….we got loads of bells and trinkets in the south and a gargantuan amount of shit to go with it…….being in an urban toilet so you can earn £500 a week instead of £300 a week just isn’t worth the cost. If you live like I did on the outskirts of London you have 12 million customers within an hours drive so of course it’s “richer” than some pit village in the back arse of nowhere…….I don’t exactly know what they are trying to engineer ? If they want a farming community to be ok, they could sta
-
Exactly that mate, another grandiose scheme where it’s all just “nobody’s money” …….they would have been better off using that money to allow 300 out of work young people to come out of the tax system all together and let them start contributing to their own life and in doing so the community around them. Im sure whoever sold the government the debt for the money to do HS2 is doing alright though……..
-
I’d say “levelling up” is just a euphemism for engineering outcomes and that’s always shit, because all that happens (imho) is that a load of extremely well paid “clever” people spend an eternity doing f**k all and the people it’s meant to benefit never end up seeing a fraction of “the budget” Most policy is self defeating and hypocritical anyway from what I can see of it, it’s no good pretending to help a bloke in an ex pit town start a business only to then throw a shit load of regulation, rules and a mountain of taxes in front of that business so that the individual can never actually

Masculinity has absolutely f**k all to do with fighting or “taking no shit” Jmho, but masculinity is about being a good husband and father, allowing the ones you love to lay their burdens on your shoulders and never letting them know it’s a burden, it’s making sure your kids have grub in their belly and shoes on their feet, it’s about helping strangers in the street when everyone else “don’t want to get involved”, it’s being true to yourself in words and deed. A proper man supports everything around him, not financially but that helps, but by being a proper chap in the way he conduct

Funny how different people have different experiences, I went to a school with some nuns as teachers and head teacher when I was about 9, they were the loveliest, nice, normal respectful ladies. Then as an adult I was on a school governor board and worked with a nun who was also one of the loveliest, down to earth, No woke nonsense ladies you could wish to meet. However, living where I live I am well aware of the atrocities carried out by these orders and that is unforgivable. I always struggled with church because half the people wouldn’t piss on you if you was on fire bu

There’s no shame in grafting no matter what it is, 100% agree mate.

Maybe this isn’t relevant, but under fathers occupation on a birth certificate it said “General Dealer” on my fathers, it said General Dealer on mine and it’s said General Dealer on my boys……I doubt it will ever say that on my grandchildrens because there just won’t be the space to be that thing anymore…….just a thought that I found interesting.

I suppose it’s an old man thing to say but I genuinely think anyone born in the last 15 years will have it harder than anyone……the poor fuckers are open to so much shit information that we just didn’t have to deal with growing up. They will be out front and centre in a culture war, probably a real war, they will just be working for the state in a home they can’t afford in a 3rd world shit house area. The things they struggle to buy will be robbed, they will be sexualised and mentally brutalised. They will never know the innocent time and things we knew, it will be constant nois

f***ing hell…….how long you got ? Lol Ill say “yes” to cut a long story short, but maybe not for all the traditional reasons…..looking back it made me who I am and I’m ok with me so it’s all good…..ish !
