@JoshBarclay9 @RobNewmanLab @SwindonCoS @LabourSwindon There is still humanity & compassion. T'other night there was a post on a large FB community grp. OMG - the comments - racist & even incitements to violence. But there was pushback on it thank goodness. Myself & 2 others went thru reporting every nasty comment to FB.

@JoshBarclay9 @RobNewmanLab @SwindonCoS @LabourSwindon As you can probs imagine, there’s been some awful comments on social media around this. And it’s being used as a stick to attack our Labour council. ‘Oh they can find the money for this’ etc, etc. Thoroughly depressing.

@neilrobinson_88 Yeah - I had building society ones in later years. I loved them. Looking at it online isn’t the same.

@neilrobinson_88 2/2 so we have. With real money & with toy money. Agree that the fun has gone. I used to have a post office savings book (before the banks did novelty piggy banks & money boxes) & loved seeing the amount build up. It was exciting. Albeit life was pretty bloody dull then!

@neilrobinson_88 Interesting you say that. A bit back I attended 1 of Millie’s assemblies & the teacher said it had become apparent that the kids had no clue about money - parents paying by card or even just with their phone - so could parents & carers make an effort to show them. 1/2
