Trackdaybob Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 FWIW IMO the whole black friday thing seems to have dropped off when compared to a couple of years ago. That or I'm becoming much better at filtering the shit out But yes, anyone with sense buys what they need, when they need it whilst getting the best deal they can. Not when dictated to by every kunt adopting yet another shite americanism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 44 minutes ago, banana said: Quite. Where definition is often difficult, a Smell Test is useful. 1/4 in poverty is horseshit, and outright propaganda. Measuring poverty as relative within a population is another implementation of the (in)equality scam industry that plagues much of the West. There will always be inequality, so in this case there will always be 'poverty' and 'destitution'. Tweak the parameters when needed to keep the scam and moral/political gravy train going. relative poverty does affect people's happiness though. It isn't defined as being in the bottom 25% but below a % of median income. You could acheive zero poverty on this measure with appropriate policies if the political will was there. It is possible to have zero poverty on this metric without adressing inequalty at any other level. The fact that no government has said that they aim to have zero poverty suggests that they and voters think that some level of poverty is acceptable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Financial prudence isn't a bad thing. That's my take on this. I wanted to buy an Amazon Echo as a present for someone when I got paid this month. Think it was £90 or something last week, so held off until today to see if it was any cheaper. Clocked it at £55 this morning, which was a pretty decent saving. I also bought my son a game for his Nintendo Switch which will accompany his other present for his birthday next month, but was always a game I was going to buy as he had specifically asked for it. Was released last week and most places were selling it for £45, I got it for £40.99 today. Also signed up for Prime (free 30 day trial) last week so I am getting free fast track delivery on anything I buy between now and just before Christmas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBo10 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Stayed in Birmingham earlier this year. In the Jewellery Quarter(?). Had the best curry I’ve ever tasted in a pub/restaurant across from my hotel. The area though is one drab miserable looking place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current wife used to live in wolverhampton for a bit (about 3 centuries ago) and still regales me with tales of the Silver Web nightclub.
