DH if only you new me, let me just give you an update I spent 18yrs sleeping rough on the streets of London multi story car parks , subways, sofa surfing also stuck in the realms of addiction. In 97 I saw the light and worked my way up the ladder lets just say I worked my arse off to be where I am today, and no I didn't go to school so yes I'm sh!te at grammar also bad spelling. But hey ho here I am and grateful and glad to be alive due to liver failer back feb 12 due to the consequences of my past (life support machine for 3 days) No I don't want sympathy , just trying to let you know where i'm coming from??? Some people in this thread seem to have the wrong impression of me. 
I will remove above by tonight just to keep my anonymity
Ahh the joys of quoting things.

Just think of the costs to the state you've incurred with your liver failure etc.
Maybe you should be regarding the tax you're paying now as a repayment of loans from the state incurred by your earlier wayward ways, rather than whining about paying the tax.
they must have it easy on the diamond shaped isle 
Shows how little you know about the IOW - some of the highest unemployment and lowest pay in the UK. Easy it definitely ain't.
