It probably includes things like
housing benefit, child benefit, council tax benefit, free prescriptions, dental and eye care, free school meals, school uniform allowances, additional child credits for means tested benefits... and so on.

So once almost all of life's bills are paid for you,
you then get £67.50 left over? That's £67.50 a week more than I get.

He owes it to me first.
I bought him a beer before christmas and he never sent me a thank you card and with the interest payments it quickly mounted up.

No food or travel on the dole.
Honestly it's fucking hard.

This.
If you're single, on the dole and have no kids, you're knackered really.

Yeah, but if you have a mortgage, then you're basically fucked.
The last I knew, you had to wait 40 weeks before you got help on just the interest alone.

If I lose my job I think it's fair enough that I'll have to sell my house to pay for my life, to be honest.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 23 Jan 2012, 13:52, Reply)

Assuming you could sell it quickly I'd agree.
Not always the case, though.

Despite it needing work
I could sell mine in days, I suspect. My brother (who is up for redundancy) is not in the same boat, poor cunt.

We live in an area of town that is generally highly sought after.
Properties tend to go on the market and get snapped up more or less immediately. Our neighbour's put their place on the market about three years ago and didn't even get a sniff of an offer, whilst other properties around the estate were proudly displaying 'Sold' signs. No idea why.

Maybe they were only renting it.

I reckon the fact that it reeked of brown ale, gravy, coal and despair
is what put the potential buyers off.

That reminds me
when I next go to Davros' house I want one his gravy sandwich things from the shop near his house.

That and the neighbours were cunts.
