You know it is really bad of you to make assumptions.

I was in the Post Office today.......I picked up the pension for my elderly disabled mother.......£400.......it sounds a lot of money doesn't it?
This was three weeks pension for her.....she can't get out on her own much anymore.
So what looked like a lot of money is already spoken for with bills and shopping.
My mother is 83, has cancer and worked every single day of her life (up to the age of 65) to bring up 7 children.
The money she gets, she has earned.
No-one is giving her anything.
