Did anyone buy one of those nail/stapler guns in Aldi last week,if so how much where they? they have three still left and was pondering on buying one but couldn't see the price anywhere? -- Sir Benjamin Middlethwaite |

Whilst in Aldi this morning I was a bit set back at what I saw...
I thought pensioners in this country where on a pittence of a pension,now I'm not sure. Seen two pensioners humping the flat screen TV's on their trollys at 699.99GBP a go? I've always said no one is poor in this country. -- Sir Benjamin Middlethwaite |

"The average UK pensioner is nearly twice as well-off financially now as they were back in 1979, a report from insurer Clerical Medical has said. Average weekly pensioner income rose from £47 in 1979 to more than £300 by 2004, the study found. However, after stripping out the impact of inflation, the average pensioner is now 97% better off than in 1979. ... Average pensioner incomes rose 3.5% a year in the five years up to 2004.

In order to obtain a 'Pension' ; off the state, one is required to have made the appropriate number of _contributions_ - they used to be called 'stamps' but are now a percentage of salary. [One can, of course, pay for the contributions oneself]. I doubt that either the Queen or DoE (Dept of Enviroment?} have made the contributions. They have attained 'old age' but (presumably) are not pensioners Of course a far greater concern is the number of people who don't understand simple logic. Ooh! Fancy! A do-it-yerself petard hoist!

I already have a cheap pneumatic nailer (cosmo) I picked up off ebay. I'm not overly impressed as it won't shoot the longest nails it carries into anything like decent wood. Shorter ones are ok. Don't think i'll try another cheap nailer on this basis .. Paul. |

I basically only got it for stapling, I'm recovering a 3 piece suite and it was either an hand stapler of this ilk... http://www.diytools.co.uk/diy/Main/P...roductID=20799 But the Aldi won. :-) Just as well really as that T59 stapler isn't much good for fabrics (unless you want them insulating). 8-) |

Quote:
Firstly, increases in the state pension may have been greater than the declared (frigged) inflation during the period. Since when did the declared inflation rate reflect the rise in the cost of living in any way? Pensioners have contributed to their pension and have the right to spend their cash on anything they like without comment from anyone else. Whether people queue up for their pension or have it paid into their bank account is not related to how well off they are. There is no reason why pensioners should not be well off, particularly if they have saved for their retirement. Kind Regards, Tony. |

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember tonytrans saying something like: Since when did the declared inflation rate reflect the rise in the cost of living in any way? Exactly; which makes looking over declared historical rates of inflation suspect at best and downright wrong most of the time. -- Dave |
