Horace Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 £215 better off £368.62 better off! But don't forget inflation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loose Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 £121 Worse off supposedly. Hit for increased road tax on the 4 x 4 and also cigarettes, however I buy all my fags in Italy where they are half price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missunderstood Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 £243 better off, but fuel and food inflation will more than wipe that out. As I'm reasonably comfortable I didnt expect much, so I wasn't disappointed. My three kids could benefit from the mortgage deposit scheme if they want to move up the property ladder and one will also benefit if developers start building more houses.

Smudge Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 The 1p a pint deduction on beer will certainly help the hard pressed Football Clubs and dying Pub trade on the road to recovery.So at least I will be 25p in pocket,hang on though fags up 27p a packet ouch that hurts,adding £3.74p to the weekly debt.

The Mayor Of Simpleton Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 As much as I am no fan of the Tories, I think that Osborne is a steadier pair of hands than Balls. UKIP have recently said that, if elected, they would look at Shale Gas as a means of taking the UK back into profit. Money Week have said that it is viable, and they have a decent record at predicting things in the financial market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garden City Fan Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 After a the disaster brought upon us by loose credit and the resulting asset bubble and crash it beggars belief that any government would consider inflating the housing market again. Another policy that will end in tears. The last rhino we need is more house price inflation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big J R Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Maybe I should have started a new thread, but the Cyprus situation ain't helping. To make matters worse, our eldest daughter and part of her family have just flown out there for an early spring break. Thankfully, she has taken loads of Sterling with her, but that in itself might prove dangerous ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mayor Of Simpleton Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 I hope that your Daughter is okay out there, John. What's happened in Cyprus makes me wonder if a similar scenario could ever take place here in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big J R Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 As posted on another thread on here. She's basking in glorious sun-shine and finds Sterling buys everything very cheaply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
