Welsh Icons

Apart from my last post (about 10 minutes ago) I've just realised that I've not posted for over a year. For those of you who are interested here is the news.

Through lack of work I've had to sign on for Job Seekers Allowance (under £60 a week)- How people think that most people on this level on benefit would choose to live this way and call them scroungers is beyond me.

I had to get rid of my beloved cats last year for various reasons (most of them fiscal) and this after 10 years of domestic bliss, this is breaking my heart.

The website (Welsh Icons http://www.welshicons.org.uk ) now has over 4,000 pages, receives around 1,000,000 hits a month. That's right 1,000,000 hits a month! and is one of the major site in Wales, but I am still struggling to secure funding. The WAG certainly do not want to know - I've been past from pillar to post for the last year doing what I beleive in and what, as the statistics show people want to see.

anyway

Just been listening to the wireless - Peter Hain has forgotten about £100,000. What a lucky, lucky bastard.

There was an item on Radio 4 this morning about the poor in Moscow, Rusia.

Some people have to live on £1 a day - that's right £1 a day. The journalist added that cigarettes are £0.60 a packet though domestic brands are cheaper.

This got me thinking - when I (very rarely these days) buy cigarettes I pay £5.45 a packet and get around £8 a day to live on (Job Seekers Allowance) - as our American friends say "You do the Math"

Anyway, jusr a reminder to you all - have a look at the Welsh Icons site http://www.welshicons.org.uk and use the new Comment interface on most pages to let me know what you all (sorry, both of you) think.
