Ginge !

ive worked out im gonna get just over 900 quid back for that !!!!!

1p on a bint of beer , why cant they increase the price of trains ect by that much, bus fares are now 1.20 now , when i went to catch a bus i had a heart attack, thought fook it and got me car and drove , my cossie dont cost that much to run

so in a nut shell fook all has changed again, no big increases as its election year but no decreases ect as they think they have a chance of winning

120k stamp duty is like most things, fook all as whos house costs less than 120k on here , remember the prices are just gona go up now due to it

glad i never watched it as would have fell asleep and wasted a day when i could be doing somink with meaning like spend 2 days solid on passionford

oh and petrol cant go up anymore, it cripples me as it is, i wish there was a oyster system to pay so io never had to look at what it costs me in fuel

aint bothered about budget news to be honest, whatever they do will always skint us people out to line their pockets

The stamp duty threshold raise to £120k is a bit of a token effort as there are so few properties you can get for that kind of cash

Most properties in my area start at £150k for a flat and go right up into the £2m category.

Stratos RS

Similar were i am mate, 120k dosen't even by you a nice 1 bed flat with parking, the best i can find is 128K

Think they worked out that 120K was just above the national average so it would have a positive feel for most first time buyers!

the 1p on beer etc is fine at the end of the day only inline with inflation.

To be honest pretty tame, and classic signs a pre election budget aiming for elderly with tax credits etc

I watched it, but then need to really as need to know this stuff for uni lol.

Petrol duty froozen but only till spetember, he said because of oil prices, i say because he doesnt want to rock the boat before election but in September wait and see

vroom

No increase on Spirits

Iain Mac

National average is reported as £150k so they didn't even do enough to get it to that level!
