We need a bigger cut in the price of unleaded to make up for getting stuck at the temporary traffic lights near the bank on birdhall lane

The squeeze getting tighter...

FCA: 11 million of us struggling to pay our bills and debts.

The economic knock-on of this could be a long recession.

Quite cheap if it means getting out of Basildon though.

I'm working in the Bas office today for my compulsory one day a week in the office. Already thinking about just going home.

I can see you aren’t familiar with the Issa Brothers smuts. Most people that run supermarkets would keep quiet and be happy with their returns, which should have been good. Instead they are picking a fight with the worst off in society without any thought about how this looks.

Still, I would expect nothing less from them.

It won't but it maybe should open a discussion about salary weighting. Why London or why only london? Should min wage have an geographical element added?
