I noticed a significant bump on my salary this week - so debtors can call in their dues - and I was trying to figure out what wasn't happening. Alright, alright, I'm trying to translate the street lingo, "what's not happening," and it's turning into a mishmash.

Let me put it plainly: I scrutinised the tiny strip of paper that some of us receive at the end of the month, baffled because it was healthier than it has been for a while. It took even longer for me to work out the puzzle: I had more cash in hand because I had been spared from the housing levy, which the Court of Appeal suspended recently.
