Welcome back from your jollibobs FF:T
And hello miss laid ( thank goodness she missed SFSB's comments the other day:eek::))
Don't know whether to go east or west.
It's either Vimto or Copella:cool:

Ah thanks TM. I think we're both a bit addicted to it tbh
Still, people benefit from it so not all bad. More and more people using food banks because of the current governments benefit changes. George Osbourne actually said that people go to food banks because they 'can' not because they need to. You need to be proven to be experiencing financial hardship George!
I'm not ok with people on benefits being demonised. Was on them myself this year through no choice of my own. Contrary to what the Tories say, we're not all scroungers, or even worse foreigners :eek:
I hate the man with every bone in my body. So that's why I do it anyway.
*gets off soapbox*
I'd like to see where "the Tories" said this!?

But not everyone who is on benefits is hard up, in need of foodbanks etc I am sure for some it frees up money for other things.
I know 50 inch tvs and Stella/Bud are not cheap especially when you are starting at 11 in the morning.
Before I get attacked I am not saying everyone not by a long way, but I have seen plenty of them that are out sunbathing all day with their cans drunk at 12 ish while the rest of us work.
It is these that can give the rest a bad name so to speak.
When I was on the dole I got £56 a week that was it, so I was not living the high life on that.When The Fun Stops Stop0 -

I'm not talking about a direct quote locarr. Pick up a paper, if its not benefit scroungers or foreigners being a drain on our health service....it's a subtle demonisation and the conservatives have been doing it for years.
I think it's safe to say our politics are radically different and I really don't want a row so lets leave it here.Debt free 6th December 2014
