Not being one to duck below the parapet .........

What gives the government the right to enforce a cap on the percentage rates charged by Payday Loan companies and the like?

Let's be honest for a moment. If some bloke, woman or family buy beer, fags, 50" flat screen tvs, Sky packages, iPads, etc rather than pay bills and then are stupid enough to go to one of these Payday loan places, why not just let them not pay the lender, get take to court, fined, not pay the fine and get sent to prison. The kids get taken into Care where, quite frankly, they will be much better off and can anybody tell me who the losers are in this situation?

I ain't bothered either way, the thing that puzzled me was that by using the links on the map on the Met Office site it showed nothing like the temperatures or wind speeds quoted by the Daily Wail.

Or maybe 

baaa baaaa ah ah, lol

Well now, a bit of wind has arrived (NO, not THAT sort) but it's dry, so far.

Some people are more bothered about the possibility of flooding at the moment.

[cee-dee]

If I get flooded, there's no hope for most of the rest of ya. I live on a hilltop.

I think it is fairly safe to say that Tommy and his DM forecast pundits have won the day. I think I'm man enough to admit that I was wrong and Tommy was right. 

ps ..... I bet it was Irene, lol
