Aye, its a shame.
Wait a minute. They are upping the tax threshold aren't they? Oh yeah, so if I burn through 117 litres of petrol every week, I am just as poor as I was before today. Forgot about that?
But I do smoke too admittedly, and they threw 37p onto that too. So if I drive through 50 litres per week, and smoke through 20 fags a day, I am still as poor as I was yesterday.
Maybe I should give up smoking though. Then I can have more money every week than I did yesterday in my bank. Problem there is, if everyone does that, that 37p will still have to be got somewhere. Along with the rest of the tax they take on cigarettes, so where will that come from? More expensive fuel no doubt. Or increased income tax.
Happy with the way things are tbh. I'll have more money in my pocket every week now. Thanks Cameron.
