Charity Shops - a reason they are in abundance (not only here but all around the country) is that there is a demand for them? And because there is a demand they are successful? I mean, if there was no, or very little, demand for them then they would go out of business, wouldn't they? (And car boot sales are very popular as well, aren't they?)

Well, if it is an attempt to gain more votes I should think they have verily p****d off those tory voting couples who are parents and where one is staying at home looking after the kids. Remember it is those very self same people (one going to work, one staying at home looking after the kids) who have lost their child benefit.* Whilst next door another two parent family, also earning very ...
Have I got this right? A couple (do they have to be married/in a civil partnership or will co-habitees qualify as well?) who between them earn up to £300,000 will qualify whilst a single parent who would love to get back to work and get off benefits etc, won't. Is that what is being put forward?
@Sue If you run your cursor along the bottom of Verbatim's posting you should see three options come up - the middle one is 'message'. If you click on message you should be able to send Verbatim an email via this website.
It isn't running at the moment Paul. Last I heard (a few weeks back) the town centre manager/Dawlish council/Dawlish Chamber of Trade were looking to see if it could be started up again. The town centre manager should be able to give you up to date details.
@Andysport . you write from the point of view of an employer. As there are at least two sides to every story here is a point of view from an employee angle. "Dave Prentis, general secretary of the Unison union, said: "The vast majority of workers are only on these contracts because they have no choice. They may give flexibility to a few, but the balance of power favours the employers and makes ...
I Disagree . A benefit recepient has the (very limited) choice of how they can spend their money. An HB recepient does not. If they don't pass on their HB to their landlord they get into rent arrears. Right? And the consequence of that is? HB is exactlywhat it says on the tin. Housing benefit (paid for by the taxpayer that gets passed on to the landlord).
And who ends up with the taxpayer funded HB? The Landlord! Ergo landlord subsidy. And yes I agree there is a housing shortage in this country. Our old friend supply and demand again. And what happens when demand for a good or service exceeds supply? Prices rise (or, as in this case, rents). Even more paying out by the taxpayer to private sector landlords then?
Yes I agree the same applies to HAs. But HAs charge lower rents (social and affordable) and their purpose in being is to provide accommodation for those who cannot afford to rent in the private sector. It would be great if all tenants whether paying a social, an affordable, or a private rent could pay all of their rent themselves. But many can't. Therefore the need for HB. Personally I don't have ...
