So if, for example, someone doesn’t get a pay rise for three years are you, in effect, actually getting a pay cut?

Thanks Ernie but I’m just trying to ascertain the correct figure in percentage terms for “inflation”.

Bruce Lee = the best

So do I require an annual pay-rise to keep up with Inflation?

If I don’t have a pay-rise for 3 years would I be getting poorer and would my Standard of Living have dropped?

So if you’re wanting to assess if you’re not “going backwards” financially or wanting to negotiate a pay review for example – should the Rate/Cost of Inflation have a bearing on it? If is does, do you just accept the ONS figures?

Last year losing both parents – still feel “lost” at times 🙁

Pyro – ho-hum but thanks – don’t you think it odd?

Border to cells i.e. you can add top or bottom – left or right borders but I want to add a border to encompass cells and other than using a drop down option every time I was wonder if there was a key-stroke short cut?

What I mean is a Short Cut using a Shift key not mouse – thanks

I have a Yamaha Silent Guitar which is very good

I might be wrong but I’m guessing that most of you haven’t served in the forces – from personal experience it teaches you life skills, gives you confidence in yourself and creates a sense or worth – these are what I’m perceiving as missing from so many young people these days. Nation Service is not just about training people to kill and use firearms – other countries have it and it helps youngsters to grow up and respect themselves and others.

Okay great! 🙂

emsz – not talking about being privileged

Wouldn’t National Service teach them self respect, discipline, respect for others…etc.?

Parcelforce appear to always have the Monopoly as far as Import Duty goes!

I’m happy to keep them as they’re great for the garden but how long will they stay there? I quite like the idea of a hive though 🙂

Casino Royale with the chair and the Monkey Fist knot – makes me cry!

Tea tree oil – job done!

Tinners use the linky that muddy gave

Thanks muddy – worked perfectly. Had to download it on my pc then data-pen it across to hers and run it. Phew! nasty one

I think it’s a secret Rotavator and they were planning to re-seed the lawn!

I guess it depends if you believe in God and the devil. So many people seem willing to believe in God but somehow the devil doesn’t.
Personally I would advise avoiding at all cost – not good.

brack – it’s like that on purpose to keep the likes of you away!

Born here so biased but I love the place 🙂

CG – firstly my comment was not a general comment towards all wives or partners – just some. That said I agree with you that communication should be the answer but guilt and control seem to be the weapons of choice used by many women.
