Budget

[birdsworth]

Was the budget good to you this year? I think that if your poor, or very rich, you make from this one. (unless your a smoker, then you're screwed)

From what I can gather, not a lot of middle class or comfortably rich live too local, so it might not matter that they get a raw deal.

it 'll not make much difference to me except the ciggies

only 37p on a pack of 20 / krakow comes to mind even though theirs were raised last year to £2-20 for a pack of 20, and you are allowed 3,200 home

[grumpy]

aye but it makes it a dear packet of fags if you have to keep going to poland

[boozysuzi]

[grumpy]

1-30 a pint, fair enough you get ripped off in the market square , 1-70 a pint, 80p forra king size kebab, plus i haven,t seen the zoo yet or been to a wisla krakow game

20p extra if you buy hot food from greggs/ no more special offers on supermarket booze, thanks to geordie binge drinkers , well they are getting the blame , jocks paddies and taffs don,t drink much then, / why not raise the toon drinking age to 15 instead of 9 then
mark my words , in 2 years time pubs will be a thing of the past

[grumpy]

no sure about the drink don't know if it affects all drinks or just cider and wine or buy one get one free anyway went to tesco yesterday and got some cans just in case lol but it'll not stop the young ones binge drinking

[boozysuzi]

Its hard lines on folks that just like a little drink at night or now and again . divint think itll help the pubs much or stop the bingers . and lets face it a lot of the so called binge drinkers probably only have a "binge " once a week anyway !!!
