I said U.K LIVING(we all know Africa and Asia has poorer people) with regards to the 13,700 i also said family taking say the average 2 kids wife and husband living in a average town with bills to pay mortgage or rent,food and fuel then id say 13,600 would mean you would live a rather poor or poverty life style by U.K standards

Im not having a go or trying to be a smart ****, im merely saying i think most families would really struggle in 2013 on 13,600 pa personnely speaking we would not be able to meet our bills on that amount,and we certainly dont live a life of luxury now, im personnly all in favour of a national liviable wage rather than minimum wage,it would cut down on the top up benefit credits and free up more for those in genuine need.(ps dont know if this borders politics dont mean to be political)

No argument about a NLW :)
I would argue about the definition of luxury if you can afford to spend time on the web - pure indulgence :)

The gross world product (GWP) is the combined gross national product of all the countries in the world. Because imports and exports balance exactly when considering the whole world, this also equals the total global gross domestic product (GDP)

In nominal terms, the total 2011 GWP was around US$69.11 trillion

The USCB estimates that the world population exceeded 7 billion on March 12, 2012.[SUP][2][/SUP] According to a separate estimate by the United Nations Population Fund, it reached this milestone on October 31, 2011

So the World GDP per capita is $9,872.11 UK GDP per capita $38,591 (2012)

This definitely means.....something.

To me it means anyone with a total income (including allowances like reduced council tax, paid rent etc) of more than £6,500 is better off than most of the World.

True, but costs are artificially higher, you can't just get a piece of land and knock up a shelter of whatever magnificence.

and now for something lighthearted,

the duke of westminster can walk from dover to north scotland without leaving his land,

much of the seas are owned by the crown, windfarms proving to be a big earner as of late,

property that is unclaimed, probably including land, reverts to the bublic purse, probably sold off to whomever can afford it.

(of intrest to wood lovers)The government tried to sell off the national forests, but was stopped by public outrage. Attempted covertly(government buulchit) like secret trials .

You cannot build anywhere at anytime without planning permission.

Mean= average
median= middle figure
mode= most common figure

most rivers too are owned by the land owners to the middle of the river, and access is to be obtained. A few rivers are exempt, but still owned.
Good luck bushcraft fishing.

Must stop.......reading......this thread.......loosing......will to........live..............

You can't. An emergency law was passed in parliament that states anyone who has started reading this thread must follow it though to completion. The only way out of it is to write a letter to the Queen declaring yourself a freeman.

As a sequel to the extremely popular 'Favorite Sandwich' thread, I've been toying with the idea of one entitled 'Favorite Biscuit'

What do you think Rik? Good idea? Mmmmmm? :D

Im sure bushwacker would like it.

Clearly a magic biscuit!

(as long as everyone on here gets one, of course, in the name of equality....)

Didn't Drew already do a six page biscuit thread? I remember the "Jaffa Cake question" was solved by rigorous application of the "stale effect paradigm"
