Well quite! If our median salary was £60K, we could all afford to pay more taxes - and those who are paid £60K pay FAR more in tax (due to the fixed basic rate tax threshold). So that adds to your previous threads where you have said everyone in this country needs to be paid A LOT more! Not just...

I didn't realise Chanel were such a bad employer that everyone was leaving them to come here! Honestly, the standard of English in our seat of government is criminal!

From those data, it looks like we as individuals shell out as much as France and Sweden, and not a million miles behind anyone - it is the EMPLOYERS' SSC which is pathetically low compared to other European nations. Denmark is something of an outlier at 35% income tax?? Seriously?? What is their...

"At lunchtime on Saturday" would suit better. Losing the "on" to read "At lunchtime Saturday" slips into American laziness and should be avoided at all costs!

A lot of sense from the Green Party leader here ...

I couldn't really give two shits about them - they were part of a movement of its time - but i appreciate there will be those that do. The thing that annoys me (wrong thread, i know) is the BBC abandoning their non-advertising policy for people like this and Taylor Swift.

Priority is presumably if you buy their album released on Friday

Five in total arrested on suspicion of murder, one released without charge, one released on bail pending further inquiries, one in hospital with critical injuries (West Yorkshire Police said the incident on Wednesday was believed to be "domestic-related" and later confirmed the arrested man was...

WTF do we think has happened there? Three kids under nine and their mum, all gone. I think a total of 7 people have been arrested, including a guy who was critically injured in the fire, and who might have been assumed to be "known" to the victims. The police originally described it as a...

Granted - a few years ago, maybe. But at least she could make a christmas decoration out of your kecks! Seriously, though, was she right to let her 15 year old son go inter-railing? I'm not sure i would.

You would though. Wouldn't you??

I wouldn't be so crass as to raise it here, but the points you make are the basis for wider debate. My mother-in-law has rapidly-progressing vascular dementia (which doesn't have the same profile or focus as AD) , so i know some of the journey you have been on. My heart goes out to you.

He claimed nothing physical ever happened but he still feels like he cheated on his wife (who he did say he had "let down"). I suspect you could have got away with a few jokey, "racey" texts to women in the office a few years back, provided you didn't cross the line into pursuing them. Nowadays...

Do that in your driving test and it's an instant fail. "Drive on the left" is the requirement. People just don't understand the rules of the road these days. Standards of driving have fallen off a cliff.

We're all with you, Daz. You are not a bad son, nor is she a bad mum. The disease has robbed you of each other. Hang in there.

No i don't think so, Prof - i think it is just the way the scales come out when they have been deep-fried

John, you need to stop, for the sake of my marriage! My wife is a fabulous cook, but you, my friend, are making me doubt my life choices. I don't care if i have to emigrate to GA!

"I can tell you I’m not happy - there are two sides to every story - and I’m going to be speaking with my lawyers on the issue."

He works on TalkSport and TNT - they have issued no comment but his details have been removed from his agent's website. Total cancellation, it seems.

He divided opinion on his punditry skills (everyone's an expert, right?). I quite liked him. A bit different to have a Notts accent too. Dick!
