Dont you get child care vouchers there just a tax discount I'm sure they are government run and even if you are in the higher tax bracket you can still get a about £250 a month tax free not a massive saving but every little helps.

Maybe we need to open a Tankslap nursery.

A nursery run by bikers for mini bikers. It could have a mini enduro course outside with PW50's and inside would be TT DVDs playing on a loop. Educationally we could count numbers of pistons and listen to the different sound of various engine configurations.

I got a print of a goliath beetle someone drew in pencil. It looks very good. He does a load of insects. I might ask him to do a couple of my spiders.

I can't believe how much it is costing you guys with kids.

I'd shove mine under the stairs Harry Potter style rather than pay that.

Totally agree if I split up from the mrs and had the little one we would be rolling in it. The system is so stupid and easy to wangle there's no wonder this country is screwed at the minute
