Agreed. It's a bit off that he's being mocked on here for that.

Yeah Its definitely off. The guy has had a job with the same company for 16 years, appears to have fallen on hard times but is trying. How many Wayne and waynetta slobs do you think would have done a load of prep work for the council workers coming in??

I guess the football shirt photos and living in Hull make him easy pickings but I think its says a lot more about the people picking on him online, than it does about him.

It's completely over the top.

One day out of date...mistakes happen. Close the store for a whole day? Makes me larf.

I'd have just eaten it. It's fine.

'Now, the mother of four, who relies on Universal Credit said she has been left without means of providing for herself or her children'

Yet....

'told she would not be allowed to take her shopping home from the Hessle Road Asda despite paying the £474.90 bill on her card'

How does it pay some so well to live off the state? Some 10 years ago I was in a bad place health wise, with no work, for the first time in 16 years of full time work I needed help. £78 a week, and interest only on my mortgage (at 1%, my mortgage was 4.4) was all I was entitled to from the state, I would have been buried within months, had I not figured my way through the mess. I'll reiterate, a £475 shop, whilst on benefits.

That's something to be 'raging' about, love.

Hull and Grimsby basically try and out council each other every day. Terrible places.

That's one thing I don't miss about living in North Lincs!

universal credit is basically 1 benefit. instead of someone getting XX amount in 'jobseekers' or ESA, xx amount on child benifit etc... they are means tested as normal, and all the money is paid in a montly lump sum. instead of every 2 weeks for one benefit, or 4 weeks for another, etc...

My in laws live in a village near Grimsby, being somewhat Hyacinth Bouquet, they tell people "Lincolnshire".

If I'm there I always helpfully chip in "just outside Grimsby".

I worked there for 6mths (Feb to Aug) and it didn't seem to bad from an outsider's view - certainly not really worse than most other places of a similar size

He's being soft, due to wage stagnation I'm almost exclusively eating out of date or "whoopsy" as they called them in Asda.
