Becles our butcher does everything but the knocking the animals on the head bit on his premises but will order special meat in if you ask, and makes a [STRIKE]killing[/STRIKE] fortune. It's all organic, completely traceable, and word of mouth plus all the awards he has displayed in the window means that he has lots of regular business. It helps however that we're in a city centre location and a relatively affluent city at that; I can't see his shop succeeding when his entire client base are on benefits and trying to stretch the money further than it wants to go.

You would probably get Council Tax Benefit too. If it was at the same level then you would be getting £520 assistance per annum...you wouldn't sniff at that. And it is only form filling in...even if you didn't get help with your CT then it is still £260 - better in your pocket than theirs.

I was supposed to be able to upgrade in March but I went to the 3 store and they have stopped you upgrading in store 3 months before your contract ends...I can do it by calling Customer Services on my mobile (333) but I can't bl00dy talk to anybody if I call off my mobile!!!!! GAH!!!!

if you'd gone through the stress of them complaining you'd been overpaid and they wanted it back NOW! .. £5 a week for that security is more then worth it x
