Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Clinton Cards have had to apologise because of a Christmas card. It suggested that Father Christmas lives on a council estate as he has a history of breaking and entering and only works once a year.

"Shopping at Lidl"??! I've heard rumours that Lidl have upped their game. :-)

Clinton Cards - many a true word spoken in jest!

re: this Romanian character with his £25k pa benefits.


What is to stop retired people from going "self employed", dishing out leaflets etc, and claiming in work benefits?

Nothing, provided their total income including pension is low enough. In work benefits are not that much and only increase if you have school age children which would be unlikely if they are retired.

your nic as all your details you can not claim once you get your pension

Why not?

They are encouraging pensioners to work.

What a useless lot you are!

If you can't tell me how to claim some benefits on here, do you know another site that can?

Tanker is correct. But you can claim pension credit, housing benefit and council tax reduction if your total income is low enough.

Exec - we did at least try to help you with your door knob!

Are you encouraging Mauel to have more children.

God forbid!

Anybody can claim any benefit they want.

Wether they qualify for it is a different thing, but approx £13 billion of Benefits go unclaimed every year according to last audited figures.

Tory Peer says.

Pathetic and OUT OF TOUCH.

i have no idea of the context ..... though the comment is accurate, i'm afraid it is pretty much applicable across all social strata nowadays especially when it comes to eating on tight budget
