Have to admit that countries like Frogland may have better health and education systems but they pay for it. They even have to pay a bit of NI when retired!! would still prefer to have lived and worked there though, in some ways. not all to do with tax and benefits though!
"Spring foward" "Fall back"!!!
Not like you to give out tax and pension advice! Makes an inneresting change!!!
I feel your pain as you know!!!
I know, I was only joking!!
I wonder who he will rely on when the old dear passes on?...... Why? Because he felt "entitled" to benefits having had them for so long. Upshot, all benefits withdrawn.
He still doesn't work, just sponges off his 94 YO Mother.
Institutionalised into the benefits system as a way of life, now no-one will ever employ a bloke that doesn't even know how to work any more. Sadly he's 66 this year and will pick up a bare minimum pension for having worked for 5 years his whole life.
Thats one person who cheated the system. Its harder to cheat it now.Except for my Brother In law who lived on Benefits from the age of 21/22 until they finally nailed him for "not being disabled enough" in a review at around 60. Arrogant son-of-a-gun went to the assessment in his free "Mobility" car and they video-d him walking with just a stick from the distant end of the car park to the assessment centre front door.

Yes but if edgars campaign against it gets going it will be banned.Can you still buy a paper
Plug a cable into the phone. T'other end into yer phooter. Open file explorer on yer phootrr and look in yer phone for yer pic's.
Playing the system but what life do they have. The media suggests you get pay oots of thousands per week including a car. But reality is different. 16 hours is around the stop/start for differennt claims. A married couple can both earn 40k sovs and still claim. Discounts for child care. Eye can't claim anyfink for edgar to get him into nursery.I know peeps who are very capable of working but choose not to, then theres the others that work 16 hours a week
& get full benefits. Playing the system. I see people in the shop who I know dont work but can afford to smoke & buy
scratch cards and drink expensive energy drinks. Now tell me no-one sees this.
How much is pac of fags this week. ??
There are cases like this and us teachers knew whole families, generations of them, who knew every single thing they were entitled to but never did a hand's turn.Except for my Brother In law who lived on Benefits from the age of 21/22 until they finally nailed him for "not being disabled enough" in a review at around 60.

Beats my Card, Egg and chocolates.Finalised my kitchen plan & hit the buy button waiting on them to confirm if ive made any mistakes.
My Mrs gets a new kitchen for easter what did you get yous.
Indeed it is. Getting PIP is a nightmare even when you really do deserve it. Our middle dottir is caught up in it all.
He called my wife once and asked if he could come and live here because he can't stand it at his house. She said "No!".
I know plenty here who have never worked. I’ve got neighbours, a brother and sister in a four bedroom council house. In their sixties now, she’s never worked and he had to stop work 20 years ago cos he ‘hurt his neck’
