No one is banging on about the poor souls who have recently lost their jobs and are trying to find another one. They are on about the out and out scroungers who know all the ropes and have for years been milking the system for max gains. The more they take out of the system the less there is for the unfortunates who really need a helping hand. Like I said before, there are known people who take the max out and also work on the side whilst they are pretending to be too sick to work. Sounds like you're talking about the Royal Family!

Talking of entitlements I fell off my perch when I was 57yrs after full employment for 42yrs (Yes - very lucky) went to Job Centre/Dole and was informed just because my savings were (JUST)over the limit I could only claim for myself and not wife/mortgage etc (£41.62p/week for a limited period) - many of my colleagues who p**sed it up the wall (and I've had my share!!) bookies/hols abroad etc did quite well, in fact 13 years later quite a few have not worked since
Of couse everyone is entitled to do what they want with their hard earned cash - my gripe is why was I penalised??
Again I was very lucky finding work after about 6 months, and continued in full employment until 65yrs and then part time until 70yrs!!

Blimey queen, I think I do enough moanin' as it is. Correct about all governments but at the end of the day we have got just about the best system. Don't like the idea of being on the streets every day burning cars and smashing windows but it doesn't half hack me off.

That's because they're not real rants queen, just getting a bit off me chest, some of it is tongue in cheek and it does wind some peeps up which is what I really really really like, just ask the missus.

Now if you were devious Buddy, you could have put that in a off shore account, claimed duel citizenship and the likes, just like the ones who tell us we're naughty and something to be wiped off a shoe.

When I was out of work in 75/76 I was told to bugger off and sort myself out just like I had been doing for the previous 15 years. That's how I ended up joining up again, b......ds!

At least when you get on the census you won't have to stand on a doorstep and fill the form in with a Quill, like those poor buggers on Ancestry.

Good idea Bert - trouble was/is:- a) didn't know about it - didn't have enough to invest b) daughter/grandkids (1 parent family) have had it and that's why I was still working until 70!!! - kids!! who'd have 'em eh!!!!

Still no word back from the census yet bert, so don't know if I'll even get it. At least I'm not desperate for it though, it would just be nice to get that few bob towards the roof and a bit of pointing. In the between time I'll just keep taking the bitter.
