Not a problem, if ever the authorities catch up with you, I can spam a few folk that have the same name as you and find a sucker to take the blame. |

3 of my neighbours (in 3-bedroom houses) - couples who've been scamming the benefits system for years & whose children have grown up & moved on have been re-located due to the 'bedroom' tax - hoorah! Hope they are found fit to work on re-assessment (because they are). |
Re: BENEFITS hmmmm
Well I am from a large family(7 children)...but when my parents were raising us there were no welfare benefits - unless you count free cod liver oil (yeeeuk) and clinic orange juice(yum).
OK they got family allowance for the first child...and we got free school meals(means tested of course)...but other than that there was nothing. |

Another example of why folks attitude to those on benefits is changing. (For the record I assume she was trying to pull a fast un...£16k-£27k in the bank an she didn't know....yeah alright,obviously she wasn't that strapped for cash). |

'All scroungers are on benefits therefore all those on benefits are scroungers'. Similar to stupidity making people believe, 'all horses are mammals therefore all mammals are horses'. I'm sick of doing this in an attempt to enlighten the stupid:- http://www.martaandreasen.com/wp-con...dead-horse.jpg |

I will ask Ma.....I was under the impression that it was just for the first child and it was ten bob(which was quite a bit back then). I know that we didn't get much.
Ma worked at three jobs to try to make ends meet. I also,remember that she was checked out at Accy Vic because they thought she might have TB....she was very thin.It was because she would have a cup of very weak coffee and a fag instead of a meal....so that we could have what food there was. It was certainly a very tough struggle. |

Yes, that was the era I was growing up.
I saw Ma yesterday, but she has wiped that information from the hard drive - her brain. She says that at her age(86)it isn't important anymore. She used to send me for the child allowance to the post office on Nuttall St......I can remember always coming home with a rusty brown ten shilling note. She would then send me downtown the 'bottom shop' on The corner of Marsden St to pay off her 'tick' bill......things we had had without paying for until the family allowance was due. If it had not been for this arrangement we would not have survived. |
