Now that we have my former MP at the helm, I wonder what or who he's going to install in the DOT? New policy on Taxi numbers, or a reversal of current advice? Anti car, or pro?

Being from the Kingdom, he's bound to be better than the last one. :wink:

Another Anglo-Scot in charge, I don't know why the English put up with it

Supposedly the best chancellor ever, but aren't all accountants good at distorting the truth ?

Half of your kids are up here, taking advantage of the lack of tuition fees.
So are half of your grandparents, taking advantage of the free granny farms

If our kids are enjoying the advantages up there, then they are paying tuition fees, in the same way as your lot down here don't. Image

If your kids are paying, you should check this out.

A source in the know tells me they may need to move here first and not say they came here for the free education :wink:
Loads of them doing it.

And as for the Granny Farms, I know for a fact that my County Council pays the charges for residents who have moved North to be near their families.

That may be Jimbo but many more have sold up and moved here.
This is so that they don't have to sell their homes to pay for their care.
Can't say I blame them. The system sucks :sad:
