It used to be higher. I seem to recall.

Indeed. Also the article isn't fair with respect to the reporting of the lifestyle. It may not be choices at all. If she has been left by a feckless husband at age 23, with 3 kids, and no child maintenance, it would be useful to report this. The neutral approach allows speculation about unwise...

Oh, that. Did she get a student loan? It was the case that you had to earn well to start repaying, and the outstanding debt was cancelled after X years. I guess the tories have tweaked it so it is less favourably structured for those with no bank of mum and dad to 'borrow' from. As a bit of...

Danger of tooth clash? Just ask them to remove their dentures. Or take out your own.

I just came across this on the BBC web pages. My left eyebrow became elevated by a millimeter. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66205669 An IVA is like a payday loan, but for more money and over a longer period of time. I realize I may be 'lip implant-shaming' but it would be better to do it...
