1278003 2012-05-28 22:47:00 How is that a "luxury"? That's needed for little kids, unless you want s.hitty kids, literally.

You ever seen the price of dispoables?
I just think some young mums are too lazy to wash cloth ones!

How do you think they managed before huggies, treasures etc?

1278005 2012-05-28 23:46:00 They get bonuses for not giving out extras.

No they don't. Good mate of mine works at WINZ, no bonuses for that stuff.

End of the day a large amount of the people who claim poverty are wasting their money on other things. It's the people who quietly slug it out that are the real heroes, taking just a small amount from the government, doing all they can to get by until they can get a permanent / better job...

Bring on those card thingies that will only let them buy XYZ from grocery stores. Stuff the brand-name bread or biscuits, get the budget brands too. You're taking a free handout, you don't get to be picky as far as I'm concerned! You don't bite the hand that feeds you...

Give em a bundle of cloth nappies, a block of lard soap, a wash board and a tub of cold water.



Sorted.

I agree with those thingies as you call them but I'm not sure about those budget brands of bread as there is nothing to them. Far sooner pay twice as much and eat half as much.

1278009 2012-05-29 01:13:00 You all talk bollocks.

Really? Got any proof that we're talking rubbish.

You prove it.
You have never had to go there and apply, you just come up with this fantasy. Plasma TVs. They'd immediately be investigating their accounts to see how they could afford relatives to stay, checking the relatives aren't also listed as beneficiaries, asking how much living costs these relatives would be contributing to the weeks costs, deducting all that off the benefit.

They do not pay car registrations, they do not pay rates. They do not even pay power bills unless it's the final notice, they sure don't pay for TVs.
They don't even pay for much - they might - note, might, loan you money for something, certainly not a TV.

Why the hell should I prove anything, you prove your crazy wild claims before plastering them all over forums.
All this friend of a friend ****.

And yes Chill, they DO get bonuses.

1278012 2012-05-29 01:56:00 We used cloth nappies and a paper nappy liner so we didnt have to scrape off the No1. They were washable if only hit by no2s.
Just thought you ought to know.
