Sounds like it dot change there then
When we used to get a raise, they then put up the quarters rent or the single man got hit on accomodation & food, so it was a case of in one hand and out of the other
Only time you were better off was on exercise or deployment

Now let me think. :-k Will it be the countries we have given loads of aid money too to say thank you? :-k no [-X will it be the usa helping us out as we have done in the war? :-k no [-X Oh yes. silly me :doh: it's us lot.
This country truely is cheesing me off and the sooner these ****** get booted out the better. They got us in this mess and are only going to make it worse. :twisted:

I'd better say I meant "in my family unit, informed by my mrs" rather than military as I am not a member of the armed forces and wouldn't want to discredit those that are.

Actually, the debt is 1.4 billion (British). The over-inflation of numbers is an American thing - that's why things seem bigger over there: smaller unit of measure :roll:
The causes of the current situation are many and varied, and not really due to our goverment's actions. For the main source, look further west - across the pond.

which ever pond I look accross it no doubt will end up with me looking in my wallet and seeing nothing! ;)
