I realise this is potentially not normal, but still, I would say a large proportion of people on tax credits COULD save that if they wanted to.

My concern, like others, is that if too many people take it up it'll give the govt. An excuse to say "See? Everyone CAN live on less, cut cut cut."
This has got to be a wind up - £40 a month on the biggest rotter of teeth known to man
