Woohooo

 

Spring is sprung, the grass is riz,
I wonder where the boidies is.
They say the boid is on the wing.
But that's absoid.
The wing is on the boid.

Spring, when a young man's heart lightly stops
as he opens the new council tax demand.

 

Only 30 weeks to bonfire night !

 

Yippeeee!

 

I was married on the first day of Spring .. but in those days the first day of Spring was the 21 st of March .. gets confusing dun it

 

Its because we take 365 & a quarter days to go round The Sun Michael.

Before they compensated for it with the present calendar, we'd got so out of phase that christmas day was in the middle of summer.

 

Shut up, people like you should be banned, ban him Ziggy.

 

Council Tax, what's that? We pay rates here.

 

We used to pay rates, then they brought out poll tax which doubled the amount. Then there were riots so they changed the name to council tax, which were still double but the plebs were happy because the name had been changed.

Same with petrol, when that went up to 90p a litre there were protests, now its 140p a litre but the price of a barrel of crude is still the same as when it was 90p, no one complains

 

The difference between poll tax and council Zig was that poll tax was per person, whereas council tax is per household. Its still a rip off, but less of one than poll tax was.

When poll tax came out, I was still living at home but of voting age. It meant that with me plus my dad and step mam, there were three of us in one house that had to pay full whack.
