50% off in resturants

["Misfit"]

I had a huge amount of bother, returning from a weekend in bonny Scotland, exchanging Scottish £20 notes in Yorkshire.

Probably didn't help by saying, "Mind the ink, it's stilll wet".

My bad....

As an idea maybe i should stop accepting Bank of England notes and demand i should be paid in smackeroonis.

May as well get some cheap food now before the income tax goes through the roof next year to pay for it all.

It won't be income tax rises, it will be indirect taxation and excise duties, products and services that were previously zero rated, cycle helmets is one, and as the law is going to be changed at some point and everyone will have to wear one, it's a no brainer. Plus anything else you can think of, they'll cash in on vape products, both hardware and juice - eventually. Also local / county councils will and are finding and creating new revenue streams - local parking charges have just doubled in my town. The future is not bright, it is not orange.

Yup, council car parking charges went up a while ago where I am. From £1.50 for 3 hrs to £2.50 Robbing bastards. I'm not paying £2.50 just to nip down town for 30 minutes.Won't be using those car parks again and I'm sure a lot of others won't either so they'll make a loss in the long run.

Up from £6 to £12 for parking in the old town, for 3 hours. There is no discount for longer parking periods, everything is 1x 2x and 3x. 30min parking is now £2, fuck that.

The county council tried to introduce permit parking in my area, the hipsters and bourgeoisie (DFL's - Down from London) tried to force it by getting a petition up (9 sigs) and submitting it to the county council, who promptly issued proposals and a formal consultation. A counter petition and a large piss off response to the consultation, got it thrown out. But they will try again, both the council and the DFL's, the latter who think their money will buy them a parking space, which it will not, there are too many residents vehicles and not enough spaces, tossers.

71% of respondents live within the consultation area with 78% of them objecting to the proposals. 106 responses are from outside the consultation area. 97% object to the proposed scheme.

We have also received a counter-petition with 81 signatures opposed to the proposed scheme.

Both the borough council and county council are no more than a mafia these days, my local council are total chunts.

My local council have actually doubled the car parking charges on Tuesday market day. That to me is just incredible stupid and greedy. I would have made it free or left it the same to encourage people to come into town and spend money. All they've done is made a lot of people go to the next town on market day.

My local council are as thick as shit, it's like they never went to school or got an education. Makes my ffing blood boil. two councillors are ok, the rest of them are well - fill in the blanks. As for the local civil servants at the top end of the employee list, get rid of the lot, my neighbours 3 year old daughter has honestly got more sense and brains, and isn't corrupt either. I hope your lot are better.
