How's it looking in your world Art? Just wondering how many of the woes you list you're experiencing first hand as opposed to just copying and pasting from the latest Polly Toynbee article?

I've just checked the latest Polly Toynbee article - it's all about how Corbyn should and could be Prime Minister. So I must have written the above all by myself... (no smileys available when using Smart phone alas)

OK, so how did your last visit to the foodbank go? I'm curious.

Things I have noticed recently: wages most definitely have gone up (mine included :)), job opportunities have increased, primary school places have become less squeezed (can't yet comment on secondaries), houses have become a little more affordable, so too big ticket items like cars, TVs etc.

So yeah, not all doom and gloom.
Blimey, I didn't realise we were so well off being in the EU.

If i had to agree with you we would both be wrong
As for public toilets, McDonald's picked up the slack years ago, do keep up.

You're right of course. I have no right to have an opinion on anything unless I've experienced it directly

Not at all. I just wanted to know if your opinions were formed from first hand experience or reading the Guardian. Thanks for the clarification.

It's one of Ramone's mahoosive generalisations. John Major : the famous leftie. And Grieve. Joe Johnson. All bleddy lefties
PS. Welcome back, Ramone. Kinda missed you

......I'd like Ali's and Jason's comments on this......
We don’t always get what we want. You could ask the Jinx though, he’s about.

BTW it was briefly mentioned on R5Live this morning, by Nicky Campbell, and they moved on swiftly.
