Sotonian 609 Posted December 10, 2015 More than 1 in 8 Under 25 don't have a job (and that excludes those in education), so boo-hoo to the OAPs who are a bit poor too. Also relative poverty is bullrubbish. What that says is that if 60% of the UK lived on steak, caviar and champagne that anyone living on pork chops, eggs and Prosecco would be living in poverty technically. Real poverty is whne you can't afford heat, food, water and a roof over your head - I don't have stats to hand but I bet an awful lot more under 25 can't afford a roof over their head than OAPs Of course not all pensioners are. But on average, they're better off than the young. So if OAPs get a discount because some of them are poor, can young adults get a discount because more of them on average are poor?

Jacques 3,114 Posted December 10, 2015 If that's the case Steve then of course I totally appologise and stand corrected but you can see how the misunderstanding occurred. I don't use Twitter either but I think I came across it through a link at some stage. I can't believe you actually thought that was a genuine account! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E I Addio 15,843 Posted December 10, 2015 I can't believe you actually thought that was a genuine account! I am embarrassed to say I did, living as I do in the steam age and not being up to speed with all this technology nonsense. I think I was fooled by the bit that says something about being the worlds most famous fan of the worlds most famous Speedwáy team which really sounds like the sort if wind up he used to post on here !

Aces51 2,778 Posted December 10, 2015 It's funny, that report could have been lifted from a couple of my posts on here and tweaked to make it more readable Still, starman knows best That report also said "To ensure that younger households enjoy the same wealth in older age as recently retired households, we need to see a relentless focus on productivity to get wages growing at a healthier rate. So maybe less time at work spent on Speedway issues and you might catch up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now if only all young people were wasting their time on speedway related stuff and that was why they were the poor, as at least the sport would be in a good place then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B.V 72 1,054 Posted December 12, 2015 Very protective of Holder now re him never riding for another club but only a matter of time whenever his form does slip a lot of Poole fans will be crying out for Holder to leave just like they did with Bjarne Pedersen.Loyal lot as long as a rider is in top form.

RP How about this one then; "There were three of us going for two Pirates places in me, Maciej Janowski and Darcy Ward this winter. Magic has had a couple of good years here and me and Darcy the same. It's a bad position for the riders to be in when one of us can't come back, but it's not a bad position for the club. They have good riders to choose from. I didn't really want to be waiting around. I couldn't have really waited around as long as Magic did - I'd have probably had to go somewhere else. If Matt couldn't have fitted me in, no worries but I would have needed to start making plans."
