taking the p**s out of every working man and woman in this country and as for a second home allowance they should donate that to those of us who are just managing to keep the one and only home we have
sooner the better we have a revolution and shoot the f***ing lot of them

to be fair....    second home allowance.

if you represent the people of Durham, for example....    and , naturally,  live there...........    surely having a modest second home in London where you have to spend about half your working life, makes more sense than paying London hotel rates 5 nights a week for 8 months of the year?

of course I could be wrong....    but having been in the position of , in the past,  having 2 homes, (1 on Anglesey, 1 in High Wycombe)  for very similar reasons....    maybe I'm seeing it from a different perspective....   nothing to do with holiday homes or luxury, everything to do with practical solutions to the issue...

Ok I see what your saying but the NCB used to have there own hotel and so do the Union according to a Union friend of mine.
So why dont they stop in a hotel like we would have too, who do they think they are, have they forgotten who they are supposed to be working for?

Don't bring Durham into it. After all our Local MP ws a chap by the name of Tony, and his short grey haired sidekick, John Burton  used to be my PE teacher at school. he used to send us on a Cross Country while he had a coffee in the staff room. On a fairly recent visit to our village he got more 'Sirs' than Tony.

5 kids and £1350 per month ??

Little-wonder why folks get stressed and suffer for it health-wise!  


  My rather-basic (comparatively)weekly outgoings are outstripping my tiny-income by a considerable factor (thanks, in no small part to council tax rises and spiraling fuel and vehicle costs); days of reckoning surely soon will come......No 'x' on a ballot will help me then I`m sure of that.

Debs....  sorry, not wanting to intrude, or sound stupidly condescending , but , with your experience and expertise,  surely you could supplement it by remote specialist lecturing or something ...  ??   I occasionally  do paid Q&A sessions via Skype for example...   £350 for a day with 3 x 2 hour sessions.      likewise   My Stepfather earns about 15K a year on top of his salary  by popping over to Europe for 2/ 3 weeks in a year, and giving lectures to Phillips engineering staff....  

Employers and colleges are becoming far more accepting and adventurous like that... right around the world....


sorry...    just thought it possible you might not have actually encountered it as a useful income route yet....

Not at all Max.....I welcome the advice; I`m spending a considerable amount of time searching for such 'avenues'.  
I`ve had a long-run of 'disasters' [size=9](employment, health and personal)[/size] and I`ve struggled to find the 'strength' to keep fighting through and confidence in my ability to obtain a 'decent' [size=9](stimulating/satisfying/remunerative)[/size] employment/financial position has ebbed (rather).
....as with many folks, these days it`s simply "one foot in front of the other"....`getting bye! :-?

Debs, do you work your farm, or just live in the house?
