    Never post clever quotes if you can't spell/don't have a grasp of punctuation/can't remember how they go. You'll just make an a55 out of yourself.:D

    Again you and your assumptions,

    I'd give you a ladder to climb out the hole you are digging, but the nasty stuff you are coming out with, your not worth it..

    What has that got to do with anything? Does it somehow make you untouchable?

    For all you know, I might have a neurological disease too. It didn't stop you making your "a55 out of you and me" wisecrack, did it?:cool:

    Ah the attack from the Ivory Tower..

    The OP hasn't given much information, yet you say they are all bone idle, did she say why they don't work? no she has not, yet your the one, being rude, so rather blame everyone with their posts, comments, look at your own.

    One day you may need help and advice.

    I agree completely with Mupette (of course I do, she has a neurological disease). She also told me that the earth was flat the other day...:D

    The OP hasn't given much information, but what he/she did say is:

    That there are 6 adults in the house, 5 of whom he/she is supporting solely on his/her wage.

    Suggesting that there are:

    a) no disabled people giving him her/her some of their disability benefits

    and

    b) that there is no retired person giving him/her some of their pension

    Now, if the OP hasn't given the full story, and he/she is actually getting DLA/her kids' JSA money, then that's hardly my fault.

    Must say I agree with elvis here. The op does make out that he/she is the only one bringing in money (from anywhere) If they are getting benefits of any description then they should be factored in. This unfortunately is what happens when people are not getting the full facts, speculation runs riot, and everyone ends up at each others throats!!

    The OP, or me? I'm 5"9, a little too tall for a troll (granted, not much).:D

    Yes, but do they all live at home and sponge off their parents, or do they cough up their JSA as board? There's no doubt the job situations in some places are dire, but nonetherless, they should be paying something towards their keep. I think (depending on age) the single JSA is 65ish quid a week, not sure about the "younger" rate, but all 4 of them should be giving the "worker" at least 40 quid a week out of it!!
