Take a guess a what costs the most in Hyndburn.

10,568 Street lights
Maintaining 367km of roads (228 miles)
5 Libraries and mobile libraries
Trading Standards
106 Children being looked after through foster care
10 supported bus routes

So all the above added together or

365 adults looked after in residential homes.

(source some stuff that came with my CT bill).

£31,980 Per adult, per year, does this seem expensive? or am I missing something?

Genuinely curious.

Damned funny those perfect tenses, eh ... especially for the irregular verbs.;) Seems to me that, in many cases, Lancashire dialect is closer to "correct" English than is contemporary usage. I'll have to think about that ... either do some research, or have a beer.:confused: Think I'll go for the beer.:dancedog:

Its not clear what the payments are for. Mr Google doesn't help either.

I was just shocked at the price.

even tho my ranting at times prob sounds like i am a FMOTL i hav'nt reached that status... i still get shafted everyday in the REAL world......what i was saying is it does'nt Sound like your enjoying the REAL world much so why not get some fun out your CT bill or is it a case of it's expensive but its ok since after all EVERYTHINGS OK ;)

what do i do to become a man? take on debts an work myself into a grave trying to keep up payments? maybe just get a CT bill?:confused:
i fully comprehend the debts of life just choose to ignore there demands :D:D

The services you may rely on are paid for by the Council tax.......so by you not taking responsibility for yours means that a heavier burden falls on those other who do pay.
If what you say is true, you are leeching from the society that you live in.
Taking a free ride at the expense of others. You should be ashamed of yourself(but you obviously aren't) because you are hiding behind the FM cr@p.
The smilies do not mitigate your response.

i can tell from your response that you are yet another payer of old CT bill.
if you believe taxes are lawful they are not( my mind boggles at the implications :eek:)
so im not a leech as you say i am im infact a lawful being
for which i am not ashamed the only thing i am ashamed of is that theres folk like you in society who still believe its tax paying cr@p :rolleyes:

:D:D:D smiles all round :D:D:D

No you aren't, you are a leech...if you make use of service for which you have made no contribution.
I would assume that you have electricity(which no doubt you pay for) and perhaps gas.......you must consume food and so you muth create rubbish...which the refuse collectors take away(paid for by my CT)....you must have water..do you pay your water bills? Do you work?

You wish to live by some centuries old statutes, but yet we live in modern times. In case you hadn't noticed things have moved on.

If you truly want to be a FM then may I suggest that you take yourself off to some unpopulated Hebridean island, and live your medievel existence there........no electricity, no water other than what you can carry from the nearest stream.......you could grow your own cannabis and smoke it until your brains bleed...and no-one would be there to prosecute you.......You could live a happy life knowing that you aren't being screwed by modern taxes(you would also be freed from the great burden of the promissory note)......we would also be very happy for you as we would no longer have to read the drivel that you post.

OK Less I take your point and I know that at least one of your posts was removed as well. But actually the one with the bad grammar that I tried to correct is still there, post 12 "should of got" - sets my teeth on edge just writing that. I suspect that my comments on that provoked a thread wander but my comments on asking him to be polite to Margaret and spell her name correctly were a (futile) attempt to get him to slow down and think and I am a bit annoyed that they had to be removed.

I accept the deletions but that doesn't mean I am pleased about them. Let's drop the subject now though, I don't want my grumpy image to be encouraged!

We know he's ignorant, we , (including him), now know what sets your teeth on edge, do you honestly think that an idiot like that will improve now he knows that?

Or will he work on your irritability?

Post's can't be removed just because the grammar is incorrect, I'm glad his direct attack and flaming attempt on Margaret has been removed, I'm sure he'll be back on soon with an attempt to give you more to worry about than, "should of got", because he is that kind of person.

All makes for a better thread and as Less pointed out it would have left the thread very disjointed had they been left.

Well, perhaps because the way AccyWeb is, you're allowed to protest.
However, his inane posts have also been removed.
Now just think about it, how silly would the thread look if posts you are complaining about are removed but your posts protesting about those posts remained?
All the mods have done is tidied the thread up In an attempt to make it sensible reading once more.
:)

It is very pleasant in there, like a large lounge, brew facilities, fridge for beer nice flowery curtains at the windows with rooms leading off for people needing a more intimate or private conversation.

Perhaps you and Susie should try it? You may bring it back to life.:D
