im sure this is all very amusing for you, but for me this is the difference between eating or not for the next two weeks. I came looking for help and advice, not 5th rate Ali G impressions.0

They will ask you when you last received money and what you spent it on, won't look good that you intentionally made yourself skint, but knowing a bit about crisis loan decision making you will likely get awarded something for food and elec if your on a pre pay meter and have run out...0 -

Check to see if there are any foodbanks in your local area - they may be able to supply you with a few days staples.0

As the "crisis" is of your own making they are unlikely to give you a crisis loan.0

Not always, people get drunk and lose their purse/wallet, give money to children for birthday etc and phone up for a crisis loan, more often than not they get awarded something, it's easier for the agent on the phone to say yes as a negative reply has to be justified and explained.0 -
No wonder this country is in such a state. A country run by idiots for idiots !0
