with respect Mock, wages were very low a few years ago, there was none of the minimum wage safety net then. I think saying things were better in the old days is a long, long way from the truth, and I'm speaking as someone who has been in a work environment for more than 30 years.

:omgno: when LT was young it was a bartering system I believe

It's very unsafe to throw a private home password around like that, especially if someone in your house makes purchases online etc.. I just wouldn't advise it.

I don't see why your mother would ask for you to contribute more if it's truly not in your means, maybe say that to her if she hasn't realised.

If you go to university(and still live there) you won't be able to do a full time job either, so you need to sort this out while you can.

(how much is the internet bill btw?)

:laugh:

:joker:

yes mock but wages were too (as has been pointed out) youngsters today have far more disposable income than those in the 70s



and Policemen were taller

:laugh::laugh::laugh: (and bigger and older)
