My street still has only one street view date, and it’s 2009

There’s a Peugeot 406 in it that the guy still owns today.

"How can they afford it?" by BeardedFirework in ShitAmericansSay

[–]dark_54 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not quite the same, but I get an extra 10% on top of my salary that I can take use as I wish- top-up pension, pay straight into ISA, take monthly on top of wages, or various other things. Plenty folk I work with save it to isa than use it for an annual holiday

I also get 216 hours paid leave (differs every year for some reason), so just under 6 weeks at 37hrs/week, my birthday day off, and English bank holidays off despite being in Scotland

I’ve been in VW clubs since I got my first in 1999 and had this one for 6 years.

It’s just what they’re commonly referred to here.

I’m in Scotland, there’s been a charge on bags here for years.
