No doubt costs have gone up, fuel, electricity, gas plus interest rates effecting borrowing but not rewarding savers is a scam... But rates are good, there's tons of work...the cottages have been booked flat out all summer, so still people spending.... I get bored easily so enjoy grafting one way or another, always at something mate, I like seeing others on here that are similar minded... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
