    The majority of health workers in the NHS contribute more to the tax coffers than they take.

    Yeah I know..

    I was being a bit tongue in cheek I suppose.

    Glad I will not be around in a few million years time when Andromeda crashes into the Milky Way - goddamn Brexit.

    JL is a victim of low interest on savings, assets bubbles galore, abysmal central bank policies, a government rewarding the rich punishing the poor, awful public transport, soaring costs - is it any wonder people are belt tightening and not spending?

    Last I was in Edinburgh, I visited JL, tried on some tops and trousers, paid up.. then went to the roof top restaurant (Amazon can you do that?) and had me a cream tea with views of the city.
    The most important question being, jam first or cream first?
