I wish people would stop the woe is me attitude tbh,we aren't living under four poles with a sheet on for cover, where our water is limited and dirty and where they have probably never tasted ice cream or coke,can't we for once be grateful for what we have most of which are luxuries, ok I know there is a lot of room for improvement,but we do have it pretty good compared to a lot of people.

I don't think we are in a depression, no, we have a lot to be thankful for, no era is perfect

However, being thankful for ice cream and coke doesn't come into it when you're disabled and having your money slashed to the point you can barely even be supported to live even the most basic of lives. |

I just have to smile at some people who ring up about their benefits on Ł600 smartphones, and Jet that DOES happen.

It's easy to judge someone at face value with no insight into their actual life. But then how many people have you sat watching ringing up about benefits on their smartphone? Last edited by Marsh.; 15-03-2018 at 01:40 PM. |

I wasn't on about your situation,I know nothing about it,I was commenting on my own experience with them, I aint gonna lie just to appease anyone, they were really good with him,the only stumbling block we found was the council, who wouldn't even give him a ramp for by his front door, but we had no problems with anything else.

I haven't asked you to lie. "Did she moan?" However implies that everyone "moaning" is in a similar position and moaning over nothing. The world extends beyond our own front yards sometimes. Last edited by Marsh.; 15-03-2018 at 01:56 PM. |

Some think that poverty these days means not having a smartphone and a big screen tv.
When we were kids in the late 50's/60's we couldn't afford coal for the fire, there was no central heating, we had the most basic of diets and we got our clothes handed down from the bigger kids. We had no TV, only a radio. Sweets and biscuits caused great excitement because we rarely got any. Most families were in the same boat - and you know what? - we were Happy! I worked bloody hard long hours to get where I am today, which is pretty well off. Life isn't static, things change, you just have to work towards better times because nothing stays the same forever, including the economy. |

The smartphone argument is kind of tired.
Owning a mobile is no longer a sign of affluence. |

Local authorities and the underfunded special schools which don't have the staff to offer the children the one to one attention they desperately need. Who have one standing frame in the whole school when a lot of the kids require it's use for several hours a day.

Our council is pretty reasonable, you can have a stair lift or lift, providing you have little funding yourself and you apply when they have funding to spare. My OT from the council said your wait for equipment depends on what's left in the kitty for that year. Half steps, grab rails, perches and a few other things are free for all who need them, no matter if you have cash or not. |

Explain to me how high interest rates, the highest I've seen recently was an ad for loans at 4729% interest makes life 'better'?

Cause i was a lazy ****er to lazy to go to work, then to lazy to look for work.. Look at me now though, i have everything i need and want because i finally got off my arse and realised what lifes all about...now if i can get a good paying job with my past employment record then any able bodied person can...
