You lucky people!

Every forum has it's trolls. The good news is that eventually they get fed up and move on.

Fingers crossed he's just having a break.

You are correct, a flag is a physical collection of coloured thread, but, it is a Standard which represents a country. It should never be interfered with, no matter what our history is.

I fail to see how the occupation of one country, by another country, is relevant in this thread.

Playing a game is, I think, a tad different than working all your life, for the paltry financial reward, that UK pensioners receive. Pensioners rely on that income to live, without the ability to increase that income, in most cases. Sportsmen and women are not in the same situation. Football players...

Good idea, thank you.

Oh happy days, thank you for that.

Bindi I share your concerns re our problems here in the UK, that said, it was not simply changing the colour of a top. It was the changing of the colours of our nations flag. Men and women, have fought and died for our colours, some still serving may do yet. It is highly insulting to our country, to...

When we moved to our house a few years ago, the ground floor was covered in medium oak laminate floor, (apart form the kitchen). It had been damaged in a few places, where it appears that sharp objects had landed. I decided that my project for this weekend was to repair the flooring, fill the holes ...

Disgraceful.

It appears that the part of my pension which I now receive, that part which I inherited from my late husband, is not subject to the rise.

That said, after consulting the DWP website, it's all so confusing, I gave up.

It won't be 8.5% of my total pension.

Last year I asked the DWP why the increase wasn't the actual percentage of my pension, they told me that only part of my pension was included in the increase, so what looks okay on paper, isn't actually, what some of us will in fact receive.

Well for one, I object to the mindless alterations to the British or English Flag. This is not a triviality to me, or quite a few others I see.

What may I ask, Bindi, are the real horrors in the UK now? (in your opinion).

Thank you, that probably explains it.

Thank you both.

I'm still waiting for mine, I did wonder if my surname being near the end of the alphabet, made any difference, but from your replies, it seems not.

I enjoyed Coma too.

It's good that it touched on the main reasons for what happened. Absolutely true.

Has anyone, who is in receipt of a UK state pension, received notification of their 24-25 increase?

I'm sure that in past years, I have been notified before now, but nothing to date.

Yes of course we did

I cannot agree, the crosses of St George, St Andrew and St Patrick were amalgamated to produce The union Flag, this is the flag of the United Kingdom.

The Cross of St George alone, is the Flag of England, no-one can change that.

Dominic

I don't know a lot about the BNP, but having 'Googled' them, all I can find as their flag is the Union Flag, not the Flag of St George.

If this is so, then your argument appears to be irrelevant.
