If everyone had your attitude there wouldn’t even be a motor industry
Back G up as he is having a go at me. I understand.
I am retiring at 55 in 3 years 2 weeks. Do you think I don't have a pension I haven't been paying into?
The wife has had many years out of the workplace over the years. Always spent tume out with the kids. We could do this because we save and not waste money. We could rent cars like millions of people do. My car cost 3k. The wife's car cost 1.8k. I could afford to buy a new car. But being sensible makes a big difference.
It's always happened in GlasgowThink that's already happened in Glasgow
The same as a McDonalds "Manager"The probably we have in the U.K. is the term engineer isn’t legally defined like in many countries so the term gets banded about too freely and means there’s nothing to stop managers promoting their “yes men” to engineer so they can give them a raise and keep them on side.

Reduced 50k to 25k to make a point?
No but oddly some people aspire to better themselves in terms of status when they go up the ladder - either amount is hardly huge
Look, despite our arguments about your rampant Toryism, i think you're alright. Don't say the above again though please.
More from the brexit crew, apparently the Chinese will sell us ‘contaminated ventilators’ or ‘used’ ones (who cares long as they work properly?)
Never liked the term 'better' themselves in terms of spending money to keep up with the Jones or trying to make other people as vacuous as themselves envious.
For me 'bettering' yourself is via learning, reading etc or contributing back more to society. Not buying a new car or kitchen to show off
Getting a new kitchen isn't bettering yourselfSo you’ve never upgraded your house?

Yep. Knowing the price of everything and the value of nothing is not bettering yourself, it just makes you a c**t.Never liked the term 'better' themselves in terms of spending money to keep up with the Jones or trying to make other people as vacuous as themselves envious.

Only when the thing I'm replacing is shagged out.
Bettering yourself is still a strange term for it.The point is people earn more they take bigger mortgages which oddly need paying
Wouldn't that also include st cross and George eliot?
I bought my 1st house in eastcotes,tile hill. No way would I want to live there now. If you can afford to move up the ladder then its generally what happens.houses don’t get shagged out. Have you ever bought a house of a higher value in your life?

Lab staff don’t “go home” at the weekend . Testing being done 7 days a week, will soon be 24 hrs a day.Would also explain a lull at the weekends wouldn’t it as lab staff etc go home? I wonder if that’s in the data...
Nope. Still in the first one. Never needed anything bigger and I like where I live and the neighbours.
Had I needed to get a bigger one for a family I would, but I wouldn't consider this 'bettering' myself but making necessary changes for the consideration of my loved ones.
I'll freely admit in a money-no-object world I'd love to design my own house, but again I wouldn't consider it 'bettering' myself. I'd be indulging myself.
Logarithmic scale. Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear. We are going to have either some angry or embarrassed little fellows this evening, aren't we?
We bought this as an investment. Bought it cheap as it needed a lot of work. We will be downsizing next year probably. We've got a considerable amount of equity in this as the house we had before we bought as a repo,done it up and sold it for a big profit. Fingers crossed when we sell we'll be mortgage free. Dont wanna sound like a snob as I really am not but having a detached place at the moment theres no way I'd go back to a semi. With what's going on at the moment is a wake up call as well. I wanna be mortgage free and lose that big expense each month.Only if you think yourself worth is related to your house
It's still not bettering yourself though is it.Of course it does for most people
No there's a huge need for new housing, no more brownfield to build onYou should send this to Coventry council - according to them there’s a huge appetite for green belt living hence the proposed countryside destruction

Are you a better person for having a bigger houseWell yes - my first property was a tiny flat - my current one is about 5 times bigger and my next one (when this crises ends) well is planned to have average to support livery rentals- of course it is or why does anyone do it and not just save up for the next pandemic?

Back office don’t work 24/7, staff directly involved in receiving, preparing and testing specimens do.Good news if there’s no lull in data collection then, makes the stalls more likely to be genuine rather than noise. Seems rather inefficient cost wise to run everything including back office at 100% 24/7 though, I assume that’s new for the pandemic? Testing dead bodies is pretty low priority compared to testing alive people I’d imagine as well so if we need more testing capacity why not prioritise them?
But are you confusing 'bettering' with 'indulging'. I understand people will want to move for various reasons, or need to move as life circumstances change. But that move does not 'better' them as people.
