    Since doing that my wireless mouse has lost it's pairing with the receiver. Could it potentially have damaged the driver for it?

    The minimum wage should be higher to meet basic living costs with a cost of living increase applied as a minimum annually ....

    Anyway, enough about the minimum wage.

    What about the minimum age?

    Double the price of pies, burgers, biscuits, pasties etc. Lower the price of Quorn sausages, tofu and lentils.

    Two for the price of one - economy and health fixed <ok>

    We should decrease it annually, in real terms. Every new tax year sounds good.

    That wont matter because we will all be eating insects soon anyway.

    Potassium and Phosphorus will be a thing of the past. Except the white phosphorus the Israelis use to bring those pesky arabs into heel.

    I agree that fast food should be taxed higher ...raising prices.

    Then no excuses for those on lower wages to cook properly when veg is cheaper than McDonald's

    There is when you're being butt ****ed over the price of milk and a loaf of bread.

    Not that I don't agree in principle but not everyone can afford to be forking out most their wages on a shopping list of veg as well as basics.

    I have my doubts tbh

    "The charity said this meant most supermarket staff needed in-work benefits - which it argued meant taxpayers were "subsidising private companies by almost £11bn per annum"

    Did they take into account that many of the people working in the retail sector either work part time (like students and working mums) or are semi retired? What percentage of the shop workers actually do claim benefits? I think that's quite important and I doubt the study took this into account, it seems to me at first glance that they have just assumed everyone who works in retail is full time and claiming benefits as a matter of course.

    No. The system is ****ed and needs sorting out.

    Also, you're wrong. And a ****.
