How have you been saving money during the recession?

Thats not cheap is it. Don't get married in the first place is the key to happiness."

- I've always wondered what sort of person takes the time to contribute to Have Your Say. Here, both wildLibertarian and Mark seem to give us a depressing glimpse into the mildly misogynistic world of the lone Have Your Say'er.


"Don't pay for money with money"

- I've no idea. The moronic moderator strikes again


"As an Englishman who pays for The British parliament, the Scottish Parliament, the Welsh Parliament, the Northern Ireland Assembly plus the European Parliament. I would like to request the closure of The House of Lords to save money, these people are unelected by the tax payer, Closing the House of Lords would shut the most expensive doss house ever known to mankind.

Surely there is some where cheaper for those 'old buffers' to sleep."

- Yeah! And get rid of that bloody 'justice system' thing as well, eh?!

I have a suspicion that contemplating the rammifications of finaly deciding on 'Daddy or chips?' would keep Harry quiet for a very long time.



"As I keep repeating to anyone who asks, the system is NOT geared to reward savers! Having said that, I've saved quite a bit over the years because I just didn't NEED to buy all sorts of stuff that I had no use for. Now, I'm looking to buy a house which seems to be a much better store of value than cash. If I have any cash left after that, perhaps some gold would be a good purchase."

- And perhaps some stupid poor people to peel grapes and pop them into your smug little mouth Christian?


"When my Mum was a kid (the youngest of 5) in the 30's; it was a matter of pride to her parents that all their children had SHOES!

Get some perspective and stop whingeing."

- Boiling Frogs comment reminds me off something...ah yes....the Monty Python sketch...

- FIRST YORKSHIREMAN:

You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep wi' his belt.


SECOND YORKSHIREMAN:

Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at six o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of 'ot gravel, work twenty hour day at mill for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would thrash us to sleep with a broken bottle, if we were lucky!


etc etc etc....
