Well as I run children's nurseries, my choice would be to put up prices for families that are already struggling. Two of my settings lose money but are kept open because they are in deprived areas where their services are needed. Thankfully there is much more to childcare than simply figures on a balance sheet.

And all the living wage stuff unfairly penalises certain businesses. If I were forced to pay a living wage to all employees then I would have to close and everyone would be unemployed. I pay what I can afford and have a lower wage myself than many of my employees. It annoys me how all employers are portrayed as money grabbing. We are actually looking at charitable status since we don't do what we do for the money.

The benefits system is wonderful when used correctly but reforms were badly needed. It does appear that the rules have been tightened in recent months (though I admit I do not have an in-depth knowledge of the revised system) and as a consequence, hopefully certain members of society will be unable to falsely make claims they are not entitled to.

Is the correct answer. When used correctly, benefits are a necessary part of living in a civilised society. The issues are with the types of people featured on this programme who have been playing the system and cheating.

No surprise that blog is from a rabid lefty who supports dancing on a dead woman's grave.

We were incredibly poor that evening. It was very disheartening.

WOuld have been nice to have had that chance though is all I was saying.

I had all the emails on b-anter. Sadly they went down with the ship

Yeah I agree with that. It was just annoying to see such a lackluster performance against sunderland. Especially so because they could get to the final now.

Winning the league cup is everything compared to winning nothing of note which is how it has been for over 30 years.

Because it was annoying to see us go out in the league cup the last couple of seasons because we played a load of rubbish players. I want to see the majority of first team players playing in the cup and it looks like that's what we will do based on rickie's comments and the lineup from the last round.

It would be too controversial. Days like that should be saved for figures who are indisputably considered great rather than Thatcher who is considered great by many but loathed by a few.

I don't really care about the fact it may be boring. I just want us to prioritise the cup once it's clear we won't be going down or getting into Europe.

Exactly. Yet to some a comment like that is worthy of ridicule. Utterly bizarre.

It's a mindset. We should put out strong teams and prioritise the cup IMO. When we got knocked out of a cup by Leeds or Sunderland this year we would have expected to win them.

Not sure why that is funny. Down the pub most of my friends and acquaintances think this is a sensible approach. Chance to win something and get to Europe through the cup route.

Agree with this. The league will most likely be fairly dull now with little to play for. I want a cup run.

Yes.

Is offsidestreams down for everyone else?

IMO Rickie became a legend when he played and scored for England. The stuff dreams are made of.

The Sony is better.

The only one you should get is the Sony 42inch bravia.

Because someone told me about it and I wanted to view it for myself before forming an opinion.

As usual you are making little sense.
