Reply | Better-off pensioners to pay for WFA U-turn?
at 01:55 8 Jun 2025
My State Pension is now classed as a Income Tax penalty going up against my new part time wage for job I am doing now .
My 1250 code will have a hit of £9 grand per annum before I go in to do my working shifts .
Maybe I should chuck the towel in and live like so many others , life is free and easy there . |

My local Dental Pratice went Private some years ago , Denplan or now named under another title or group .
Lucky to say my gnashers are in good shape as an OAP and my dentist and their staff give an excellent service , any future major dental work needed might incur a cost though .
My 3 month check up scheme and advice clinic costs me £15 per month to use , think my teeth will fall out on their own time in the next few years , but so far so good .
Maybe still an issue with sweets and sugary drinks not helping children with problems .
Still see parents giving their children a bag of sweets to appease them for a quiet life . |

Jeremy Clarkson , a marmite character to many but the chemistry with him , James May and Richard Hammond made for great Top Gear tele .
That programme then went into a period of short term stand in presenters and eventually was pulled , Flintoffs accident was the end , lets hope Freddy is still on the mend too .
Maybe stunt drivers and clever camera work made Top Gear entertaining , who cares .
Smug face still on Who Wants to be a Millionaire these days . |

A member of The British Royal Family is still in the public eye , albiet at a lower level but still classed as one of the Firm , protected and still claiming the expenses available to him .
The late passed Monarch called him her favourite and kept him in the loop , even Buck House these days seem to tolerate him .
Name calling and claims of involvement in Epsteins history of past horrors will be passed by as just allegations never fully proven .
Very expensive lawyers will see no criminal charges will be pressed ,
Maybe a backhander payoff to a victim out of court settlement says a lot in one case . |

Tin hat time but apart from the true passionate supporters of their local teams follow Scottish football , two teams every year top of the tree , no interest to me .
There again many fans follow TNS dominating the albiet Gog League , a passing interest .
Players and managers move on and say the right things for the media and PR .
Brendon Rodgers has found that answer , will Russy get his wording right on a contract deal .
Potter got 7 years out of a failed Chelsea tenure , that was a masterstoke , |

Trump is getting bored of this invasion , playing straight into The Kremlins planning .
He did promise to resolve it by Easter , massive fail there .
American aid to Ukraine is now on the backburner whilst the EU spout a lot of hot air via press conferences and big noises , lets not poke the bear too hard . |

What I feel is more concerning is one of them found guilty attackers filming and laughing whist using their phone to record it all , a like on tinternet will make them seem big .
Maybe a culture of who will prosecute me anyway , I am a kid so I can get away with anything , courts will give a second chance so do not kill somebody again please .
Do some Community service and do not appear in the dock again or it will be frowned on . |

Swansea Prision and that car showroom way back in the day walking to the Nortb Back .
Rover or British Leyland cars on display , maybe Fletchers garages were that site then .
Will have a google later on . |

Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwaartemg both failed in their ability to run a Govrernment , file alongside Pritti Patel who promised to get the small boats issue under control , useless .
Starmer in his big brave manifesto promise is like a duck out of water floundering again .
UK will spend Millions again on asking Albania and France to stop the small boats and gladly accept the cash incoming .
Get to the root cause of stopping the Channel crossings , then maybe they will get my vote at the next General Election . |

Oops , my bad , but seriously thought M+S had left Oxford St . now realise BHS which was next door is another a pound shop again , confusion reigned .
Shows how much I travel to Swansea Centre these days , or maybe an aged memory lapse by me again . |

Only caught the first half of Leinster v Scarlets but a quick dig around of the player profiles of Ireland / Leinster players selected for The Lions tour this Summer must raise the question of eligability to qualify for selection , A lot of Southern Hemesphere influence there . |

Avoid Swansea City Centre if I can , sometimes need to call into HSBC as a last resort .
True , the zombies from Castle Gardens to that Pawn Shop on Oxford St, are an eyesore .
But people are still willing to visit Swansea on their shopping days out , footfall from what I could see was still a lot of potential customers .
Label Neath and Swansea Market together , both an attraction and good news stories but both areas lert down by druggies and lack of investment to make them a go to choice .
Marks and Sparks have withdrawn from both centres recently , a named establishment doing a runner to be replaced by phone shops and Charity shops . |

Got my TV repaired in Idris Williams repair shop way back , it was the size of a house getting it into my car , 32" Sony if I can remember , it was massive .
Around that time I purchased a VHS tape unit with the big keys system on the front .
Iffy copies of blockbuster movies soon became abundant , Rambo 1 springs to mind .
Now a chuck away society , if it breaks down buy a new one on credit , nothing is fixed . |

He used to have some old fella phoning in from his nursing home on a regular basis .
Chris Needs used to singalong with E viva espania with him on air , probably that small gesture made the chaps day .
Do not think BBC Radio Cardiff had any complaints over that part of the broadcast . |

Southampton v Portsmouth , Eagles v Seagulls , North London derby and the rest of the hype over these so called grudge matches is wearing thin for me , get the crowd involved .
Visited both Newcastle and Sunderland on various duties over the last couple of years and neither location seemed to be rabid monsters roaming the streets full of hate .
Rangers v Celtic is a totally different animal due to the obvious , that derby is serious . |

Monkey Town had some interesting haunts back in the day , The Crown the best .
The Cross and Lamb and Flag were tidy boozers too , all gone now sadly .
Think The Fountain still exists , not been to Morriston for years , a place to avoid now .
Monkey tree on Clasemont Road or the Swansea sailors and dockers with their new found pets . |

Eleri Sion on Radio Wales , one of them voices that makes an impression whilst listening .
She does a bit of banter with Gary Slaymaker on their film reviews , some of the movies mentioned do bring back memories , that fella must have seen every film ever on screen .
Chris Needs sadly passed and Owen Money have and had the same skill on air too .
Not hysterical OTT broadcasting , Zoe Ball and Sarah Cox as prime examples .
Has Jas had a phone in yet on CCFC relegation , I might have missed it . |
