Council homes !

[tamborine]

Young cpl gave me JRussel y'day as they have 3horses, 2cats & 2staffs. They live in council flat in London suburbs and expect a 3b council house + garden after 3rd babe due soon. He's scaffolder (little work presently & she's a mum = not employed).

My point: how is it possible to own so much without income or mortgage? Bit hard on the tax-payer ?

In my opinion txt speak looks lazy and sloppy, I think daffy has a good point x

I certainly don't know how the couple .in the original post seem to have so much and yet make so little contribution to their own welfare.

I realise that life can be very unfair and that a benefits system can be well exploited.

However I don't spend time trying to analyse it all. Life is too short for that.

My kids own flats & houses that they have to work hard for. They've been out of work, refused council properties due to their parents owning a property.

Nowt to do with snobbery.....unless its the Council's snobbery only giving properities to those borne into the system.

[ummmm]

My sister got a council house....she wasn't born into the system.

[ummmm]

Perhaps the 'Council' are 'animal rights' minded type of people. :-)

"OU (Open University) test you on txt speke as part of IT Diploma. "

Do they really?

Well nobody with an OU diploma in IT would get a job in my IT dept. then, I'd rather be working with people that can speak and type in a manner that is at least close to proper English.
