Headline in local paper this evening, Dali Llama says money doesn’t buy
happiness, now that’s a new one.
Commercial on TV, basically saying every time you use this credit card
you save. Earn points for everything you do. Fine print says that it will cost
you £2 per month in bank fees. I wonder just how much you have to spend to get
your points. A lot more than the average person I bet.
There is also something called Payday Loans here. The interest is staggering, more than 1000%, you really do have to read the fine print.
Another commercial has a multi-car policy. It includes legal fees.
That’s because there is no ACC over here, so if you have an accident what do you do. You sue that's what.
Local councils are having to tighten their belts; well we all have to in
a recession don’t we? One of the economy measures the local council are
planning is the closure of the small local library where we live. It’s not a
flash building, nor does it have super-duper fast in house computers to search
with. There is free internet access, but they do not have a subscription o sits
like ancestry (because it costs too much) the very same council is spending £450
million on doing up its offices and town centre, and more that £25m on a
privately owned hall. Same council can’t find £250k to support our library.
There has to be something wrong there don’t you think?
