Yes Curly, of course you can :)
hope whoever is elected next is...conservative, preferably far far far far far right.
My missus earned GBP70k back in 2002 as a jnr solicitor. Are they paid enough to keep them from worrying about money all the time? Surely if they got a, erm, decent salary, plus GBP10k expense account (with no need to prove/disprove their expenditure) life would be simpler?
