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

Isn't that coke?

And no, for over a year it was all our youngest (who is autistic) would drink. Literally ALL she would drink. It was that or, well, death...
Basically. She will thankfully accept other juice these days...

No problems with her teeth though, but then, I've never had a filling either so we may just have genetically strong teeth?

Have you ever considered putting other juice in a ribena bottle?
