Do you think most of the clubbers in the likes of San Antonio are drinking alcohol?

 

And that entry to an Ibiza club is less than £20?!

 

🤣

 

Club entry in Ibiza ranges from around £50-£200 or more depending on the night and who is on the decks.

 

A pint in these places costs about £20. Spirit and mixer is about £30. 

 

Nobody is going to a club in Ibiza for the booze…

 

(The bars are a different matter though).

things have changed since i went to the island, 50p a pint and free entry into nightclubs

sounds like its only for rich teens in 2024

Also areas of excessive tourism, that is Magaluf, so people cannot have a drink in Magaluf after 9:30pm

But they can go to a sleepy village in the countryside and get hammered

The whole point of going to somewhere like Magaluf is to go clubbing until 5am so I am assuming the clubs are wanting teetotalers to hit the dancefloor.

And lets assume people pay around £50 during the night on booze, won't bars loose this money, so won't this mean they will have to charge entry such as £20.

DOes the DJ get sacked because there are no drunken people wanting to dance 

Does that mean most of the night clubs and bars will close

And if that happens the islands lose lots of money, maybe many businesses fail?

Should have got a win here playing a team with nothing to play for

I was at Rowlinson in the 70's-80's and, as it may have been at many establishments, nearly all teacher's breaths stank vile. Some way more than others (Certain RE and physics teachers! *cough*)

 

And that was even from a couple of feet away, let alone if they leaned in, or over your shoulder!

 

But why? Coffee and cigs? Not brushing teeth? Medical issues?

 

Take a mint before lessons, for Christ's sakes.

Problem with this debate is that only one side are allowed to put their views forward.

For a proper debate you would need to return to the idea of free speech, so all opinions being allowed, including those you don't agree with

No way!!!!😆

To be fair you don't tend to see Plumbers or Shift Workers being in favour of these types of policies

...and the lieklihood of a Blade's legend signing fo you and then playing against us next season?  Behave!  Oh, and if you are starting duff ideas, at least spell his name right!

He has played for the rest of the clubs in this area, so why not play for the best

Proven in the championship, and could get the extra goals that would push the owls up the table

Be a good signing

Striker needed, so why not  Billy Sharpe, he is definitely proven at championship level

Neither team with anything to play for, Everton now thinking about their summer break and holidays to Benidorm

So Everton 0 - 4 Blades.

Sounds daft but same thing happened with Rotherham, they hammered Cardiff, two teams with nothing to play for

Some cracking derbys next season with leeds and the two sheffield clubs

Plus big teams from league 1, Portsmouth and Derby, 5000 fans in the away end on those games?

Burnley and likely to be Luton

Going to be a good season in the Championship

Got to be honest I didn't think the Owls would escape, not even going into today and I felt they were doomed all season

But they proved everyone wrong

Well done to the Owls

Looking forward to championship football and the Sheffield derby next season

Birmingham just scored, don't tempt fate

Even Dave Basset and Neil Warnock will be amazed at Wednesdays end of season great escape

Really want the owls to get the draw today, look forward to Sheffield Derbys and a guaranteed 6 points next season

Mrs Thatcher (and pal Ronald Regan, President of the USA,) started the rot by going over to Free Market Economics, ie, releasing restraints, checks and balances on businesses, turning it into a high risk freeforall, survival of the fittest etc; a super capitalist market economy. We were probably well placed to survive as a nation at the time, although the emphasis changed from manufacturing to banking the proceeds and skimming off the top. (remember the 'Yuppies?') She sold all our utilities off as well, (water, gas, electricity etc ) Shares were bought and sold, thus we lost control of the companies and suppliers.

 

Over time things changed. The ruthless and successful became super rich by 'off shoring' and other dubious practices to avoid tax and maximise profits. It was 'profit at all costs.' at the expense of everyone else. The only way to survive was to join the club and adopt equally similar cut throat policies: low wages, less workers to do more work, abandoning workers rights, etc. ie a race to the bottom. 

 

It has taken 40 years of Free market economics to get where we are now. Once the ball started rolling, no government had the guts to go it alone and try to turn the tide, even though it was well known where it would end. The banking crash of 2008 was no surprise in spite of what we were told, and the growth of 'Mega Corporations' inevitable and wrong, as pointed out years ago by groups like Occupy. We now have Corporations wealthier and more powerful than entire countries, and a few individuals sucking up nearly all of the disposable wealth, creating terrible world wide economic inequality. 

 

We have now passed  the point of no return, and it will all end in tears as more and more people realise they are no longer on the winning team, cannot afford houses, cars, holidays, health care, insurance, and all the other things they are used to, or even the means of putting enough food on the table. 

 

 

 

It was only the rich that were to benefit from high house costs, and government actions from around 2003 made things far better for the wealthy, or those who had already got onto the housing ladder

Those who got on the ladder in 2001/2002 were the luckiest people ever - timing was everything, or being born at the right time.

I wouldn't say it is the free market, more a market rigged by government actions

I think many Sheffield Wednesday fans think the owls are a premier league cluub, or should be a premier league club

What type of food do they sell here?

chow mein?

But back then, I couldn't afford one at Lodge Moor.

BUt you surely could have afforded a house in Hillsborough, Woodseats up until around the year 2003?

I know I could afford a house at 1990s/early 2000 prices on a part time wage

Love to see the younger generation try to buy a home with one part time wage

Indeed.

 

Where were all these cheap houses for peanuts because obviously I didn't find them?

They were everywhere, houses from as little as £8000, to ones at Wisewood for £30,000, Handsworth too, you could get a 2 up and 2 down for 25 to 30k until the early 2000s (around 2003)

Detached houses in leafy areas like Lodge Moor were only 90k

And wages were still good in those days with time and half and double time being the norm in the 90s

Buying a house for peanuts has never been the case in my opinion .It has always been the biggest major purchase for most people and my circle of friends who all bought houses in their early to late 20s did so based on saving for a deposit and getting a mortgage base on a multiplier of around 2.5 times of earnings.

We did have the hope and expectation that after a few years that our earnings would rise to make things more affordable but had to contend with a rapid escalation of interest rates at times.

 

If you could afford to buy a house on a part time wage, then that is peanuts in comparison to what young people have to spend buying a house.

I bought my first home on a part time wage
