Re: Ackers - revalued!
To be honest I haven't taken much notice of them since the changes as I lost all incentive to save. lol I was quite a hoarder but I didn't mind being generous with what I'd saved and helping out other people in need as and when the occasion arose.
The disappearance of all my savings reminded me too much of real life where people saved their hard earned wages for retirement and the government penalises them by making them pay for nursing homes and the like by selling their houses and having nothing left to enjoy or pass on to their children but on the other hand gives out benefits to workshy layabouts who've never done nor intended to do a days work all their lives and squandered what they've had in benefits and then get more freebies at the expense of the tax payer. It's a pet peeve of mine because a friend of mine is a warden for sheltered accomodation.
