Says Ray: "The market for my skills dried up 10 years ago - there's a total lack of work in my area of expertise."
This boils my piss. Get another fking job then you useless sod. ANECDOTE: The unemployed guy who used to live next to me used to always go on about the Polish who took away his plastering work, fair enough they do generally work for less money. However a massive new Sainsbury's opened near our building. Less than 5 mins walk, probably about 3, you can see it from my kitchen window. Did he apply for a job there?Did he fk.
Great, so they 'get' nearly £100 a week more than me doing 40hrs a week. I don't have Sky either or smoke!
So his area of expertise has dried up? Is he not capable of retraining or taking unskilled work?
And I notice the Mrs is 'disabled' with the trendy but unprovable tag that many doleys claim to have.
They are a typical caricature.

240 pounds a week on food?
Exactly, that's astounding. Get down a good local butcher and on your local market and you could cut half and eat better.For a start they can cut:
Food (£120)
Shows (?£10)
Booze (£15)
Fags (£50)
Sky (£15)
Mobile (£30) - buy cheap PAYG and use landline for outgoing, so say £2 per week
That's £240 a week for a start.

So the wife can't work and his work dried up 10 years ago (but can't retrain), yet in the middle of all that they decided to have an extra child.
Perhaps he was thinking about the possibility of retraining as a sexeducational software writer, or he mistakenly went for the easy pink rather than his usual preference of the difficult brown one night after several of his weekly 24 cans lager
Astounding
Other £91 - Will give benefit of doubt on this.
Entertainment £20 -Certainly NOT essential so £5 (rent a movie once a week)
Phone+Internet £7 - OK, could be cut but will leave as is
Water Rates £15 - OK
Sky TV £15 - Certainly NOT essential
Council Tax £18 - OK.
Public transport £30 - OK.
Mobiles £32 - Certainly NOT essential.
Energy bill £38 - OK
Rent £76 - OK (Bargain actually! )
Weekly shopping £240 - £150 (£50/60 must be fags/booze at least).
So, current weekly total is £582.
Savings made, total is £430 - that's £150 saved, easily, per week.
The cap is £82 less, so that's still nigh on £70 a week more than they "really" need.
