An extra £120

with one comment

What could I do with it?

Thinking of the average person in South Shields, just what could we all do with the £120 bribe being offered later this year by Brown and Darling?

  • Save it for a rainy day, council taxes might just go up again next year!
  • Use it to pay for the increased price of petrol (it might cover 24 tank fulls.)
  • Put it towards the expected 30% increase in gas bills seeing as the government is doing little to secure energy supplies.
  • Put it towards the costs of repairing aunty Mabel’s council toppled headstone.
  • Use it to pay the extra tax on the family car.
  • Allow it to be swallowed up by the mortgage increases.
  • Put it towards the increase in council house rents.
  • Buy 66 school meals at next year’s price.

Feel free to add any other suggestions.
