This area desperately needs housing, the sooner the better.

What about all the Pensioners who have never bothered to apply for Winter Fuel allowance or a free bus pass because they don't need it. The govt every year say that billions of pounds in benefits for pensioners and others are not claimed. http://statistics.dwp.gov.uk/asd/index.php?page=irb Also the comment made earlier also applies, the cost of means testing these benefits would almost ...

Lost camera

The serial number is sometimes embedded in the EXIF data (that is the time, date and camera setting details) is 'embedded' in the img details when you take the pic. Cameras that use this system, it is not a universal feature, can be found here http://www.stolencamerafinder.com/listmodels However, many people strip the exif data from images, especially when putting images online, and many ...

For the last few weeks I've had reason to be driving around all over the UK, and discovered the price of petrol varies by as much as 10p a litre in different areas.

If a person claims HB they should get it for what they need, not what they want, use it, lose it or pay for it. If I only used my car to take a grandchild to school for 6 weeks of the year would I be entitled ...

Much easier to just edit your post and put the t in!!

I am sure many people would like extra rooms in their house so friends and relatives can have a room to themselves if they visit but for people to think this is a right that should be funded by the taxpayer is nonsense.

All this means is people will either move or pay a more reasonable amount towards their rent, working people, like the lady I mentioned earlier had to move as she doesn't get benefits, she has to pay her rent from her wages which became too much for her, so she moved. Another person living in the same block complained to me that he now has to pay £5 a week from his Jobseekers Allowance towards his ...

Any system will have disadvantages for some people, that's unavoidable. But the number of people living on their own in large properties, especially old council houses, is very wasteful. My father ended up on his own in a very big 3 bed council house with a large garden that he couldn't look after, and chose not to move to a smaller house he was offered. He was not of working age, could afford ...
