did anyone read in the paper about the woman caught out claiming benefits and working? she took her kids to her interview and was asked if she had a job and she said no but her little ones (4 and 6 i think) said "yes you do mummy"

oooops

Haha, have you got a link to that Emma?

Reminds me of my long ago ex...when the police tried to pin something on him. Kids dropped him in it big style!!!

emamum · 19-03-2009, 21:32

sorry, read in a paper in a cafe yesterday, not sure which

Lilly · 19-03-2009, 21:33

Ha! Well, they would drop her in it, wouldn't they?

Kids that age just tell it how it is and she was a fool to expect anything else.

Mind you, she must be a fool to claim benefits whilst working.

Silly woman.

That reminds me of the old gag, Hello Mrs Jackson, can I have a look at your other face please, my mum says your two faced

A mate of mine who was a VAT inspector dropped his mate off to check someones books.When he returned to pick him back up he jokingly said right now show him the real ones.

The mans wife said "He must mean the ones under the bed"
Oh dear!!!

you are allowed to do a certain amount before you declare it, you can earn £20 i think it is. I did an hour or so of cleaning here and there for a while before i was pregnant that i didnt need to declare ( i know that because i asked my lone parent advisor just in case)

Its not worth the risk of getting caught and prosecuted over a few quid

flashy · 20-03-2009, 10:43

did i mention your name Emma?

Jay, you work that out how? just because you have a puppet master pulling your strings doesnt give you the right to say whats good and whats not, is that actually you under your name today or is it a certain someone else?

It's only pot and kettle, if this vast crowd of accywebbers have posted on here against such actions.

I notice though the no tolerance brigade have yet again lumped the genuine receivers of benefits in with the ones that pretend to be ill so that they don't have to work, hardly a fair bit of thinking is it?

Are sheep allowed to claim benefits and work?

Damn these sheep taking the work away from our Polish brethren!

people like to slate other people for doing the exact same thing that they are slating them for
