    Doubt many people who have double digit thousands of pounds lying around spare would even be going down to the jobcentre every 2weeks to collect an extra £50 though... :rolleyes:
    Lol yeah that made me laugh the one time I had to claim Jobseeker's, the woman on the phone was laughing a bit too when she asked :)
    I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @ss.... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

    and I doubt many people would be trying to rip off public funds, eh Angel :eek:


    actually i think you will find that you are wrong there... :rotfl::rolleyes:

    MOST PEOPLE would get as much extra money as possible from any source possible such as the tax-money pool, if they knew how to do it legally without breaking any laws or rules. :)


    However very few people know any way to do that, and so they dont do it, but ONLY because they dont know how to.



    If they knew a way in which they could legally get a few hundred pounds extra into thier bank each month, every month,
    how many people do you think would actually not do it just because its ''immoral''?? :rolleyes::A

    So which dishonest claim did you go with in the end?

    BTW did you know it would be quite easy to track you down by the information you have provided on here, the fraud dept of your local council would be interested I am sure. Cut the sarcasm.

    lol

    You have to remember that i havent committed any illegal acts though... :)


    The people at the benefits office know that ive done this as a scam.. lol
    Its quite obvious to anyone who looks at it that its just a setup.


    However they are powerless to do anything about it as its not an illegal scam though,
    its all been done within their rules and without any illegal acts being committed,
    so theres nothing they can do about it.
    (even when inside they know that its just a setup planned by me for financial reasons) :)

    There are some things they can do about it, not illegal mind you, just immoral. There is a big system out there with a wealth of information pulled together from multiple sources.

    I am sure you know a lot more about it than Angel, but I doubt it will get him thinking!

    Life is hard enough when you have been made redundant without people taking the P

    There wasnt really any cause to comment was there, there was only one reason that was posted and that was to make someone feel pants


    Thanked you by mistake.

    My comment was neither sarcastic or intended to make you feel bad; it was purely informative.

    As for not claiming anything else, surely this is what you're trying to do with this enquiry about clothes?
