    And your question is??


    If you are complaining that people who live in council houses seem to have nice lives & nice things, well, why not?? We are all entitled to the good things of life..

    What about the good old British traditions of decency, tolerance & fair play??

    Cheers!

    How do you know that everyone is on the dole (or did the Daily Mail tell you..)?? No, you don't do you. Many might suggest it is just idle speculation & spite. Chances are as many are decent, hard-working, honest people as you'll find in the some of the "Millionaire row" places in London

    I am shocked and surprised at your bigoted attitudes.
    it is a topic I am not too clear on

    Blimey, you can say that again..

    Not very judgemental are you?

    Smacks of jealousy to me, you have no idea about these people at all, and how is it your business if that woman has 40 kids to 40 different fathers, it isn't exlusive to poor people you know, look at Ulrikakakaka!:money:

    Are you saying they're all unemployed and you as a worker are aspiring to their standards?

    To answer your question though, most places i've been also have a mixture of old people, young people and children. They also have unemployed people people who work full time and part time and people who are self employed, what does sound different is the masses of community spirit.
