Everybody a winner, Since then the chineese pandemic has destroyed whatever was left in the coffers,and we are borrowing trillions to finace this country and thousands of illegal and legal immigrants sucking the tit for what is left, Now we face the fact that these idiots in charge have gone all out for net zero it was only a matter of time before the cracks or the seams started to open wider and the sea rushes in, The power house of europe in the mean time germany is months away from a possible financial collapse with europe to follow and the repercussions for the rest of us is dire, and we now go back to the financial bemoths on this site with their heads buried in liberal left doga telling us we dont know whats coming.

What a diatribe of complete tosh (#54).
Don’t think you went out with many nurses Louis , in nurses language the word is tish . Tosh can be a word of endearment in certain parts, e.g. how you doing tosh. Stand by for a thank you from the recipient . JS
Tosh - nonsense. Tush - something very different in USA.
My two brother in laws owned their own homes in Essex Keith and that's what gave us the ambition to buy our own, I admired my uncle Bill for his achievement, he was bornQuote:

#57 Tush is an American expression for a certain part of the females anatomy. The same as all us Johns are a toilet . Never been offered a penny however. If you ever worked with the Americans in the. North Sea you would also know a booeee is a buoy. And if you really wanted to emulate an American oilworker you would have Red Wings on your feet . JS
We must get rid of the present morons occupying numbers 10 and 11 Downing Street.
Between them in the short time they have been in office they have more or less ruined the country.
The Bank of England has had to buy 65 billion pounds of their government debt to save the economy and Private Pensions.
