I find it to be brilliant for helping my eldest with his homework, whenever he needs to draw a picture of something, google images comes up trumps, also helps me with my coursework too.
I completely agree with u alot of the people in my area are on benifits when they could easy wor, i have been out of work for a year due to ex screwing me over and my son was very young he is now 2yrs old now and i can't wait 2 get back to mental health nursing

Yes, this extra �25 per week if the weather dips below the threshold for enough consecutive nights is means tested.
You are not entitled to it simply because you are old enough to claim a state pension.
Boo - the government has no money, it is taxpayers money it is giving away. If it wasn't means tested and given to everyone, your tax and my tax would go up to pay for it.

I agree Legend (now there's something you didn't expect eh?)
I know we're straying off the topic- sorry Grapey, but you wouldn't believe the amount of dole spongers who come into the Co op for their daily booze, fags, scratchcards and lottery tickets. The money they spend on these items is sometimes mindboggling, and quite frankly I'm bloody jealous as I can't afford those things despite both me and my husband both working. Something wrong somewhere
