well I din't think vet or dentist fees are a rip off (at least mine aren't) and my council has just added collecting bottles to the refuse collections.

And my vet is well below average when it comes to costs of treatment ~ but the care and treatment of their patients is brilliant.

Illegal immigrants can't get any benefits as they are illegal and have no NI numbers, officially they don't exist so how can they get any benefits?
Private dentistry fees? all the dentists in my town have vacancies for national health patients I have never had to go private. Refuse collections are being increased to take unwanted textiles as well as the rest now where did you here that they were being scrapped?
Printer ink cartridges can be refilled at less than 10% of the cost of new ones.
Virtually everything a solicitor does you can do yourself with a bit of knowledge and Googling.
Council tax has not increased in 5 years,
Our vet will treat your pet and let you spread the cost over several months for no extra charge, better than pet insurance which IS a rip off.
Any more?

I don"'t have any pets and use a fabulous NHS dentist. I've given up printing but do plenty of recycling using the council wheelie bins. Many so called rip offs can be avoided so lets celebrate by going in to town, parking the car, and buying a latte with cup cake.
