Re: Cap Benefit/ Cap Agencies.
Very good advice Cappy, I know young kids that have tried and are trying to build a business on Merseyside you have a short memory October the 5th 1936 is a date that should be etched in your brain but in case it isn't I will post a link for you I wonder how many of these guys would have had the means to start a business ironically they were saved by the war ?, All my 4 kids work full time by the way, Can I ask where the axe will fall on benefits do you think ? Eagerly await your reply Cappy no hard feelings here Regards Terry.

#51, Yup true to form
Add your tuppence worth along the way then you sit back and enjoy the antic's. It's a discussion nothing more. Seems to be one rule for you and different one for anyone who does not agree.

Now your insulting my intelligence on social history which you do not have a monopoly on. Do you play the violin professionally? Time for another tune me thinks

Insulting your intelligence on social history, When did Thatcher put it on the table to make Glasgow military rule, We may both have had the same chances 40 odd years ago it don't apply today ?????????????? If anyone wants a slanging match Jim they can have it its all good debate

Re: Cap Benefit/ Cap Agencies.
Terry, it is a quarter of a Century since Thatcher was in Power, if it was so bad why did Labour not change everything during 13 years of Labour Rule.
.
and still if Nursing Agencies were OK during Labours Rule why is it bad today??
Cheers
