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.
