Benefits me personally :) - but don't like to see the disabled hammered (GO disputes they are being and says more is being spent - but even Sky disagreed). The fact the figures were similar was mentioned as Robin Hood like - in reality no real link :)

Found the definition If your annual household income is ?6,420 or below, you?ll get the maximum amount for each Working Tax Credit element you qualify for. This is called the ?income threshold? - anything you earn above that will reduce the amount you can get. So you only get the maximum rate now if income is below 3,850

Not sure - it might be this If your income is above this, your child tax credit award will be reduced by 41p for every ?1 of income over the threshold. For example, if you earned ?20,000 your child tax credit award would be reduced by ?1,596.95 (?20,000 - ?16,105 x 41p). http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/tax-credit-cuts-income-disregard-george-osborne-voted-without-debate-a6931676.html

It was mentioned on Sky - the money taken off the disabled almost exactly matches that given to 40% rate tax payers. Reverse Robin Hood - George looked unmoved though.

I've had my windows smashed and wing mirrors broken over the last few years - in a secure underground car park too. -

Wouldn't have deserved it but if George North hadn't been ruled to be in touch - he wasn't btw - we'd have run in the winning try. But for once not moaning and congrats England. :)

Surely you can fool all of the EDF some of the time and some of the EDF all of the time but not all of the EDF all of the time.

I'm surprised how little my computer networking books have changed to the current versions - they should be doorstops But as someone said to me the other day - you networking guys never change :)

Trains just getting worse? What can we do?
JohnL replied to James's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Yet strangely Thameslink wasn't as bad today - although still late of course. -
Never had a problem with Sky touch wood. I suppose if you work from home permanently there would be an argument to have some kind of backup plan (not hacking the neighbour though).
