Given that it is an election year, it was always going to be loaded with some goodies.. what's the verdict on today's budget? How does it affect you?

Decent budget all round IMO.
Common Sense.
I still think VAT will increase in a month or two to pay for some of the perks.
He seems to have got away with his 'no iffs no buts' statement on the debt five years ago.

To be honest I have no idea what it contained, but I am guessing there are plenty of pre-election financial incentives to get people to vote Tory.
Penny off a pint. That'll do for me

Excellent, all I need to do now is drink 100 pints and I get a quid back.

Penny off a pint…. thats a laugh :rofl: don't think any pub is going to knock a penny off. £3.00 exactly in my local for a pint of Fosters, there is no way they will make it £2.99 …………… too much hassle, all the beers in our pub are a nice round figure so the 1p is going to mean a lot of change going around. Personally I don't think it will happen.

Not sure what the perks are that you talk of...
But, I do agree that VAT will be on the rise sooner rather than later...
Another kick in the wotsits for PAYE person...

I scarcely will know what to do with my penny a pint bribe. A whole 10p a week extra in my pocket is enough to unsettle me.
One thing for definite though it'll ensure Dave & George get my vote come May 7th

but the increasing income tax thresholds werent a bonus to the "PAYE person"?
Not much of a vote winning budget, but no big losses either. A typical pre-election budget.
