The post you are reporting:
My wife is dependant on 10+ different drugs per day and me as her carer, plus much more, just to keep her mobile for some periods of time throughout the year. Both of us would be the happiest people in the world if she was not disabled and we could both go back to work and what you refuse to understand is that there is far more genuine people like us that are not part of your Benefit Dependency culture by choice.
In the last two years my wife has had her travel tokens removed, had her funding for Tai-chi (therapy) removed, given up swimming(therapy) due to cost.
We no longer visit various towns in Kent on Saturdays for a day out shopping or visit Deal town on a daily basis, when my wife is able to, because of fuel costs, both of these activiities were for pleasure but were also for exercise for my wife.
We have both stopped smoking and rarely socialise. Holidays are awkward because of my wife's condition but we only book cheap midweek or weekend breaks through the newspapers now, due to cost.
BarryW's statement is entirely true.
"People usually live to their means and a sudden reduction in income causes problems with that"
This rise in water rates has left us £2 short already; add that to the inevitable increases in electricity, gas, fuel and food,along with the cutbacks that we have already had to make, I can now rest easy because according to Barryw, its all GB's fault for introducing the 50p tax rate and when DC removes it, we will be better off.
Thank goodness, a light at the end of a tunnel.
