    I know your budget is today but have no idea when ours is - obviously soon by the following comment in one of today's newspapers

    President of the Canary Islands, Paulino Rivero, announced this morning we will have to raise taxes in the autonomous region if the central government "gives us a dump of the screw" when presenting the General Budget.

    So this is a translation as you can guess and while I don´t know exactly what it means I love the phrase "gives us a dump of the screw"

    I hope George Osborne doesn´t dump too hard on your screw The Budget 1498946960

    I wouldn´t say I have given up smoking because I enjoy it but I still have an unopened packed of 200 which I bought before Christmas. But being the last of the big spenders I no longer smoke the €4.99 for 200 but have gone upmarket and pay €5.99 for 200 The Budget 3025408739 They are pretty good too because when I lived in the UK I only used to smoke Cartier which even then would have cost me that sort of price for 20.
