When your "luck" changes, I'll bet you won't be boasting then .....

I worked in the Insolvency Service for a while and dealt with hundreds of previously well-employed people who lost their jobs/businesses through no fault of their own and who had to seriously downgrade their lifestyle ..... I also worked for the DWP on DLA - again, life-changing injuries and illness can happen to anyone (there are over 3m claimants) - if there is anything that my jobs have taught me, it's not to be patronising or smug about employment .....
