Thanks, I had to research it to understand why they were making cuts. Although I think they were also told there was an immediate cash shortfall at the Treasury and needed to save the £3bn quickly, this financial year. If you remember, interest rates 5 years ago were 0.01% at their lowest, so...

Thanks. I honestly cannot remember if I started the topic or not. I suspect I was responding to someone's aside re WFP! I nearly used the "don't talk politics or religion" quote when defending myself but there are only so many clichés I can post! 😉

It does sound a tad excessive. Also, if you had put the cash into a savings account, you could make interest, and then pay the utilities as you go, knowing you have the cash in the bank. Don't give them the money for free for them to make interest!

If you don't mind me asking, so will you struggle without the £300 WFP now? Taking your figures, that works out as £12,333.88 income per year. Excluding other income if any, savings, etc In theory, you do not pay any income tax, as below £12,751. Is that enough to live on, pay bills, or...

Only to TJC, which effectively is the same as IW. Same warehouse, same return depot. Same TJC return name/ address on the IW pre-printed label! Returned a silver chain, only £20, too short, think I have a thick neck! (No comments please! 😁) Despite being 18". The pre-printed RM Tracked would...

Thanks for the comments. During that discussion, not one person suggested a threshold for WFP if the PC one was too low. I suggest the basic rate tax band £12,571. Too much emotion, ,"my cold Mum", versus logic/reality, imho. You have to take each issue separately, imho. And not conflate...

'Market trader' is probably a certain Mr. M. Mason, of East Anglia. Could also be Mr. P. 'life coach' Becque at a pinch. See how polite and non-rude I'm being? 😁

Nobody said you had to! You are arguing against points that were not made. Straw man arguments? I was not rude, am not rude and have not been rude. Show me otherwise. I am not. I just agree with the removal of the universal payment. To those who don't need it. I do not know what income level...

Most. Not all. Agreed, it's not a good look. Or as they say these days, "the optics are not good." Starmergeddon. Thread 'WFP and politics' https://shoppingtelly.com/threads/wfp-and-politics.68273/ But personally, I couldn't care less what gifts/freebies he gets as PM, if he does a great job...

Thanks mod. Ideal World. Oh, the irony. Anyway... So, the cooking demos with the Flaming Chef and the burgers, on the double-sided microwave plates... Who says 'advertising doesn't work'? I confess, that after seeing the IW demo a couple of times, I had some spare credit on my TJC account...

Schrödinger's cat in real life: IW parcels. Ordered 2 of IW3 boxes The 2 arrived in 2 sealed boxes, both boxes sellotaped together. We separated and opened one to confirm its contents. A relative said shall we give one as a present and which box, the one we opened, which needs to be repacked...

Err, nothing? 😁 How *do* they stop the metal sides sparking? Are they smoothly joined with no rough edges and coated? Is that the secret craft of microwave oven manufacture?

As I have since explained, I did this in a private, gentle, conversation. I was not rude in public or private to Jazzy. Please tell me or state where it how I am or have been rude. Don't believe what others are saying without seeing it for yourself. There are 2 sides to a story. I am not a...

Over on the Ideal World Random Musings thread, my indication of my support for removing the universal payment of the Winter Fuel Payment to all Pensioners caused a stir. Plenty of misinterpretation and false accusations. For the record, I agree with removing the WFP (£300) payment to ALL...

Sorry, Emma versus Emily. Exactly the opposite, with @Jazzydrury I found I mentioned their spelling of there/their (and your/you're) in private only so as not to discuss publicly. We had a friendly chat ranging around literacy, medical and educational standards. The subject of conversation...

Lol. Are you actually Micky Flanagan? There, there.

I wasn't nasty about it either. I gently pointed it out, calling myself a pedant. Most of the discussion was in private conversation, where I explained possessive versus location, trying to help. I was never told it wasn't helpful and I appreciated their issues when explained. I'm unaware how...
