Crikey, you are quite young. Do your parents know you're posting on forums? (52 episodes of Andy Pandy were made in 2002 :p )

I keep my photo on my profile page. My avatar is a cartoon drawing of my by my niece. :)

It is an unnecessary burden on people. It wasn't beyond the intellect to just state that when a property becomes vacant it has to be let to x, y or z size family or a reduction in HB will be made.

Ah, I see BB. MOET. Medical Only Evidence Transcript ...

Erm, but you do work. You are your husband's full time carer for which the state pays you.

To those who may question my current lifestyle - I'm fairly nocturnal and get up at an hour many my consider late - my answer is always the same. You're welcome to my lifestyle, but you have to take...

Indeed. Irritable Duncan Smith.

Pension Credit was from age 60 for years. However, as with all things, it's being changed. It's slowly being raised in line with the standard pension age. At this particular moment it is (I think) 62...

As said, it's all down to personal choice and what level of help you think you need. I've nothing against the B&W site and will only chip in to remind people it is a subscription service. Like many,...

I'm so lucky having a GP who doesn't charge me for letters. Obviously, I'm presuming that is because I'm on benefits. When DLA wrote for a report, she charged the DWP whatever the normal fee is and...

I was awarded my Blue Badge some time before I even applied for DLA. This was under the discretionary rules and there was no problems at all.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. This quote is absolutely marvelous - for all the wrong reasons!

I've always said that you can't have democracy in a party political system. I'd like to see all MPs as Independents.

Crikey, m'duck, wasn't that exactly what I did and, ergo, have no need to recall what I already know?

googly, I'd have had Screaming Lord Sutch for PM if I could've had my way ... :D

Yeesh. What a muddy, ugly quagmire of comments. At the end of the day there is a host of differing opinions. For those of us, like me, who are old farts and remember just how much poo we were in in...

Crikey, googly, Suez was even before my time! :D
I'm not going to defend her as, like many on here, I think she wandered a bit off the rails. However, to put her first election into perspective, we...

Whatever our thoughts and memories of her may be, at the time of her first election the alternative was far worse. I fully remember the Winter of Discontent. Three day working week. The dead...

You think that was waiting? :D

I found this elsewhere which seems to make sense of how tax works ...

£5.8m could be saved by not having taxpayer subsidised bars in Westminster. To put it into context that equals:

7,967 homes paying an average £14pw bedroom tax.
or
1,570 people on the single...

Many thanks, Gel, a good and well written song. At the end there is a list of many towns up and down the country where protests have been arranged, here's hoping that they are well attended. Duly...

I don't want to give you bad news here, sq, but it is Spring. :eek:

Yep, still got all my heating on, but not as expensive as yours! Works out to about £3.50pd. Assume you don't qualify for any sort of winter heating allowance?

Well, I can but hope. I don't mind things coming in if they are both necessary and fair. The BT certainly isn't fair.

Or not, as it transpires. MUD, your profile isn't showing the vcard option. I suspect you may need to tweek your privacy settings or some such like.
Isn't technology fun? :D
