    I would happily claim if needed, put enough bloody money into the system so wouldn't feel bad taking a bit back out. Touch wood have never had to claim so far in my life, and being an experienced wagon driver means I dont seem to struggle finding work.

    Good man fairplay, if only everyone had that mentality.

    amazing how the benefit system that was installed to help people out that fell on hard times is looked at now days, if i lost my job my first stop would be the job center to look for more work, but if i couldn't find it i would sign on not by choice but through necessity

    its easy to underline every body on jsa etc, when you have no real commitments other then cleaning your room at mum and dads house, i work day in and day out in dossers houses and i can clearly see where the benefit system is being abused which pisses me off, but to look down your noses at everybody that falls on hard times and has to claim is childish and pathetic.

    I would claim if I had to and not be ashamed as I have paid taxes for 16 years


    What pissed me off yesterday was I seen some utter dodgey chump I used to go to school with, he had just parked his RS4 up, got out looking like he had more bling than a rap star, this from a chap that has never worked

    All is well tho, had a text back from another mate, apparently he is growing weed, so he'll soon have fcuk all again




    Sadly everybody on JSA is tarred with the same brush, if only more people had Spuds attitude

    I'd claim what I was entitled to - no shame in a claim. Its what you do with it though, whether you just claim to what you're entitled for a short period to tide you over til your situation improves (i.e. find another job, get back off sick leave, etc), or whether you sit back, pop out some kids and live off the profits.

    I had to claim when I was made redundant was awful but if I hadn't I'd of lost my house so no option, thankfully now though I'm sorted and earning decent money again was a bad 18 months though I applied for absolutely everything to get off it had 2 temperary jobs in the 18 months. Hated going to the job centre as new people would be looking down there noses at me but was a necessity and I genuinely was looking for work unlike a lot of the tossers there that I went to school with that have never worked
    told you saloons are the future!!!!!!!
