Decolonise colons!
In my younger years when I was a proper menace I had the pleasure of confronting 2 burglars in a shared house I lived in.
edit: should be "they" really.

I ended up getting arrested for something to do with being excessive, but released without charge.How did that go?
There's interplay between economic, social, and cultural capital. What I mean by the latter is the sort of stuff in your last para - the social mores that help some people to 'progress.'
The last paragraph is (roughly) what cultural capital is. It's a well-known term. It's not directly connected to money, leisure time or anything like that.
I guess knowing the term is sort of a sign of having some cultural capital, though TBF I wouldn't have thought I had more of that than you do.
I’d be surprised if your net is 1500 from 18k annually, even without paying into a pension.For me anyone taking home 20k (outside London) is doing OK. My net pay is 1500 a month about 18k I think. Third goes straight on rent. I have 2 teenage kids at home. I get no benefits and I have to pay 200 in child support as I don't have the kids all week. I don't have a car and I've not been on holiday for 10 years. I go into work partly for company partly to save leccy and gas. I sit in the cold when kids aren't here. It's depressing as fuck tbh.
Sorry if this has been asked in the last 15 pages, but is this poll really anonymous?
XenForo does not have an option to turn an anonymous poll public, or reveal even to the superuser who voted what in an anonymous poll. The data is simply discarded.Sorry if this has been asked in the last 15 pages, but is this poll really anonymous?
I'm on £19k pa after tax which puts me on a lot less income than many responding to the OP poll but, given mortgage paid, I reckon my disposable might be greater than a few on higher take homes. Don't know how I feel about that.I can see I have a lot less income than most in these parts, but I'm fine with that.
I'm on even less, before tax, but we are fine, no debt, no worries. Might suggest some other urb gets the round in though.I'm on £19k pa after tax which puts me on a lot less income than many responding to the OP poll but, given mortgage paid, I reckon my disposable might be greater than a few on higher take homes.

I used to work with someone who was a postie in the day and a pizza delivery guy at night.Someone asked if they could borrow my car for a few days recently and when the full circumstances had been explained I rather reluctantly agreed.His own car had been impounded and he stood to lose the other job he does i.e when he is not working with me.For the last twelve years he has been working sixteen hours a day because after the day shift he goes off to put in a night shift.As he put it it is okay because this leave him four hours for sleep and four hours to talk to his rellies on the phone .He mentioned other colleagues who apparently also have a night shift to go to .I would quite like to know how widespread this,to me, extraordinary practice is but finding out would likely be difficult .

He had one of the unhealthilest diets I have ever come across consisting entirely of sweet waffles, fizzy coke and pizza.

Not to knock anyone's circumstances but talking to relatives for four hours on the phone? Why?this leave him four hours for sleep and four hours to talk to his rellies on the phone .
Fair dos. Sounds pretty grim.Dont know exactly his relatives would be in East Africa and he has seen some pretty awful things.Both parents killed.
That must be a nightmare!About 6k from benefits.
Not easy but I've had a few grand in compo in the last few years (PPI and solar panels) so that has helped a lot. In a couple of months my army pension kicks in as well.That must be a nightmare!
I bet you've paid a whole lot of VATI don't enough to pay taxes (last two decades).
Actually for anyone not in work, registering as self employed and submitting a NIL return is a fairly cheap way to purchase state pension yearsI assume they meant income tax. Hope they’re able to pay their stamp.

I haven’t done it but my brothers m-i-l is at present. This is the info I passed to her, she’s retired ill health from teaching so I think is short a few years.This can’t be right can it? I have two years to make up in the next 12 for max state pension. Had thought about paying but why couldn’t I do this? Especially if I didn’t earn ‘nil’ but say earned £10? Sasaferrato Why wouldn’t this work?
