Why get your children to pay.
« on: Oct 19, 2018, 03:24:28 PM »
I have had a couple of people remarking the grandparents mainly pay the bill when we go out.
I don't see anything wrong with that. Less inheritance tax to pay when the time comes or less available for care fees.

My grandchildren aren't old enough to pay.  If we're with them, its our treat. If our son or daughter is there they pay most of the time, they're working and much better off than we pensioners.  But regardless of who pays, no one passes comment about it.  Lots of nosy parkers where you live Brian.

Brian appears to make waves for the sake of making waves, it's rather sad to use a friendly exchange between mature people as a platform.

Well if I end up in a care home I won't be paying anything towards my stay & my estate won't be paying any inheritance tax either.

I don't think it's just waves - he makes everything up. Do you really believe in all these strange characters and events that appear in his posts. Everything but everything is pure fiction.


He is probably penniless living in a hovel and cheating on benefits for all we know. Why believe anything at all.?

you can come and meet me at the 4am running club and some of the members will confirm that is not the case.

Probably. I have known people like Brian in the real world who live in their own fantasy world and spin ridiculous stories to any who will listen.


In the real world you can usually avoid such people but if you enjoy visiting a place and the nuisance keeps appearing it can be tedious. I suppose the answer should be don't read threads started by them but reading the put downs and completely off topic responses are often more interesting than some genuine threads on topics that don't interest me.

Brian is a bit of a mystery (another one  :) )  he takes a lot of stick but he bounces back - sad that he seems to be oblivious to the reasons he gets the stick !     IF as he says Brian has been to university, you'd think he could come up with a topic that doesn't involve money, pensions or his Dad's house.   The 4 am club may have been amusing last year, but it drones on a bit now.
Come on Brian, you're a valued member of PF so let's be having you - how do you feel about Brexit ?   ;D ;D
