The contributions - based kind, not the means-tested kind, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otta Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I just can't believe people can drink all day and smoke on their benefit money. Had I known this, I would've quit work years ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annette Curtain Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 There's a new on-the-lash/benefits-street model being developed in Dartmouth Road ,Forest Hill.Within easy signing-stumbling-distance of each other you've got: The "Ha-Ha" Job Centre next door to a new Pub called The Stamp (ex-postoffice) then Paddy Power, then The Wok Express and.Over the road is Boots the chemist and The Bird-in-Hand pub.Really, it's a Slackers Royal Flush.There's also random street furniture, the pavement & even a "tree" for the exhausted clients to "chillax" on.NETTE:-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJKillaQueen Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 It is a touchy subject. The daily mail would have us believe that a life on benefits is somehow more cushy than for those in work. For the vast majority of people on benefits it isn't. The average payout for living expenses for a single person is just 67 quid a week. And that is for everything. Food, electric, gas, clothing etc. I defy anyone to get by like that for very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
