In praise of the Tally man

[cappy]

Cappy nothing wrong with borrowing money if it is spent on the right things.This country is still borrowing WHAT are they doing with it,lets forget about high employment lets talk about high knife crime,high attacks on prison officers the NHS talking about a bad winter hospitals are already suffering a shortage of beds and winter hasn't arrived yet.So let them borrow more money and lets have more bobbies on the beat,more prison officers more money for the NHS. you cant' run a country on fresh air.if they don't want to borrow let them get after the big tax dodgers.I'l tell you one thing the people who used Provident wisely had the best houses on the estate,yes lived in comfort.

perhaps you should go into politics jim ......you ask all the questions about whats wrong .....and you answer appears to be borrow more than you earn ...then use the food banks when you cant pay it back .....then blame the banks bussiness owners and any one who is creating wealth for the food banks ...that to me is tantamount to a circle where you end up in the dark having dissapeard up your own rectum ...but sadly taken everybody else up there with you ....as the song goes ...come and join us come and join us theres room for thousands more .....ah well finish for me on this jim ...but do you honestly think borrowing to eat and paying interest on top of that is a reasonable train of thought...its just more debt which means more borrowing......sad

The only Tally men I ever heard off were Italian prisoners of war held in Castle Rankine POW camp during WW2. The Tally Camp as it was called was situated less than a mile from where we lived.

my old dad returning from Singapore in 1946 took a job on opencast mining , driving a tipper for £6 a week , rent on the old cottage was 10/- a week , an old friend offered him a pair of semi detached houses for £400 , 17/6 a week for 20 years , live in one , rent the other , he would not take a loan , died 55 years later in the rented house , at a much bigger rent , the pair are worth £180,000 today , he made sure I bought
