This exactly I also sometimes think that toes look like tarantula legs . It freaks me out <| sep |> Definitely was some powerful giant .

People pronouncing it cashayz isn ' t an American thing , it ' s an I don ' t know how to correctly pronounce this word that I don ' t use much in everyday conversation thing . <| sep |> Wage growth has been ahead of inflation over the last few years though this is getting closer now . Inflation includes rent but does omit house prices . Thanks for the think , I definitely agree it ' s showing an increase in average wage but I ' m still sceptical as to the real world outcome of this average increase . The bottom rung have definitely had an increase due to the minimum wage increase I have seen no evidence of wage growth in other areas . I don ' t have a nice neat graph for you but I can find a number of articles talking about the fall in real world wages , this being the first onewww . theguardian . combusinessdatablog 2014 nov 19 u k w o r k e r s s u f f e r s i xthyearoffallingrealpayin 2014 . You make a fair point about the 0 hour contracts , although I will say that I have a full time job and work part time in a hotel , on a 0 hour contract I don ' t want those hours to increase , I would much rather be paid adequately at my main job so I didn ' t have to have a second one . I work in 3 rd line IT support , live with my patents and have no dependables , I just want to be able to save more for my future . This is almost the definition of a hospital pass . The Tories have reduced the deficit while in power . But at what cost ? Social tensions are at a highpoint for my life early 90 s kid . The NHS is starting it ' s death kneels at the hands of widespread cuts to it and local services the council used to provide that supported it , the BBC is even more of a joke than it was . We ' re about to start removing ourselves from a union that has facilitated huge trade and social benefits that our economy has designed its self around for 40 years . Our currency recently lost 20 % of its value internationally . The political class have shown the truth means nothing to them see both sides of the brexit argument and that they are willing to bet the country and everyone in it for a bit more power and that they won ' t be punished for it blowing up in their face . Benefits to the poor and disabled have been cut , with no closing of ' tax avoidence ' loopholes corporate or personal and incoming corporate tax cuts . Increased student fees and debt , eduction budget cuts . Private prisons , ' for the public good ' sale of royal mail . I would go on but I ' m starting to feel a bit depressed about it all , really . I know not all of this is the fault of our most recent governments , but I have seen them doing little to nothing to help any of these situations and often making them worse . You might think it should be better but based on comparison with other nations there is not a credible case that ours has dramatically under performed nor been significantly mismanaged . I do think it should be better , I think we should be using metrics other than GDP growth , average income , employment rates etc to measure how the country ' s doing against others . GDP is mostly driven by stock market and business performance rather than the people ' s wealth and spending especially within their means spending by households . The stock market is currently benefiting from a weak being leveraged by large multinational companies with the financial might to do so . Average income is not fully representative of the actual income of people , especially as I assume it doesn ' t take into account all of the tax avoidence schemes . I don ' t have a recommendation for better metrics at the moment , though . Apologies for formatting , spelling etc . I ' m on mobile
