    Im in a much better state than the majority (bar maybe one or two friends) of my peers believe me! I 'own' a house and have no debt (but you probably count a mortgage as debt) not many people on 25-35k incomes have what you seem to take for granted.....


    Anyway Im glad to know that its me who is 'wrong with this country' not the work shy, thieves, drug dealers etc-thanks!

    I have no savings. But then I am divorced - my ex has all my money.

    That's because he's a chippie with a fettish for IT contractor forums.

    Perhaps he could do us a nice line of benches when the economy does take a dive.

    Oh so, you're not the infamous RRH who pretended he'd died and issued an apology on YouTube then?

    Glad we got that cleared up.

    Apologies.

    Btw, if you're charging upwards of £600 for a garden gate you should be rolling in money.

    He's a jobbing carpenter, not a contractor.
