interesting and thoughtful post SFJ -the one about falling out with the tory party- you are a better man than I. i was just reading in the paper about how, come next april, 90,000 disabled folk are due to have mobility scooters, cars repossessed following reductions in government disability allowance. this latest wheeze by the current lot is hardly a surprise though does seem unusually heartless, even by their standards. i'm afraid i am way beyond going out for a pint with an advocate or supporter of such things as this. i look at the prospects for my children in the current climate and won't forgive those who are responsible. I see folk buying the Mail or Telegraph and think 'Aren't you worried people will think like i do - you're a Tory bastard?'

in all other respects though -i am quite a happy chap.really.
