A £70,000 salary defines you as rich?

[Sir C]

What utter tosh. £70,000 equates to around £4,000 per month, net. Call it £1,000 per week.

Now let's subtract essentials: Cigarettes and booze, £210 per week. Food, £200 per week.

So we're left with £590 per week to pay for motoring expenses, eating out, holidays and staff?

Fúck off. Impossible.

Obviously you can live reasonably comfortably on £70k (assuming you don't have a mortgage, naturally) but 'rich'? Absolute nonsense.

Shows how out of touch with ordinary people the left is.

Switch to roll ups, Chief. You'll save a fortune. Asda do a very presentable own brand lager that could save you a couple of bob.

With the whole Brexit deal you are going to run out of foreigners to exploit so you may have to cut back on the staff and do a bit of hoovering yourself.

roll ups are not nice.

I switched last year and its fantastic once you find the right tobacco and filters for you.

I buy mine duty free. I smoke like a chimney but I spent 58 quid on tobacco last November and haven't spent a penny since.

Best decision I ever made.

Opinion.

Economic necessity drove me to rollups 30 years ago and it wasn't long before I preferred them to cigs, which to me now mainly taste of the chemical fuses in them to keep them burning.

I did my chest in and made my fingers dirty and smelly.
I am sure I would have got used to them.

Good filters, the slimmer the better, and the right tobacco resolves this. I got used to them in a couple of days and fags now taste of **** to me.

Right on, brother.

It's definitely not 'Monty Money'

and if you are on a 70k salary you are going to live in a different way. Therefore you will most likely have a higher mortgage than others as you've perhaps bought a more expensive place and more expensive to run and maintain car.

At times of national crisis we must all pull together and tighten our belts out of civic duty for this country that we all love. Some personal sacrifices may be necessary.

You know, like the ones we ask poor people to make all the time.
