Originally posted by Doggy Styles View PostStrangely I never planned early retirement. It doesn't concern me at the moment if I have to work beyond 65. I might actually prefer it. My dad was able to take early retirement, did a few things, then he got a bit nostalgic for his old job.Comment

Wilson was much criticised for a broadcast in which he assured listeners that the "pound in your pocket" had not lost its value. It was widely forgotten that his next sentence had been "prices will rise".
It is that sort of attitude which caused the UK to go downhill until Maggie came along.Comment

Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostAnnoying. I've got a song in my head now I was going to post but I don't know what it is. I think it has the lyrics 'Work all day long' or 'Work all night long'. It's like an 70s/80's song with a heavy beat and all I remember it goes 'Dum dum de dum dum dum All day long'.
Anyone name that tune?
I think it's "All night long" by Rainbow, but it goes Dum dum de dum dum, dum dum dahComment

At least petrol seems down a bit from about £1.40 to £1.30. But then that is probably bad news as it just reflects lack of global demand....Comment

Originally posted by zeitghostJust think: there was a time when it was $4.00 to the £.
Hence "half a dollar" for the half crown (12.5p for the uninitiated).
And in spite of the higher value of the pound back then, they were still regarded as being rich. Hence that other phrase.
"Overpaid. Oversexed. Over 'ere."Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment
