Californya.

That's all I'm saying.

"Another female neighbour in her sixties, who declined to be named for fear of retribution, said: "They're the wrong sort of people for round here".

I lurrrve the names of the twins, makes me want to have more children and for dh to stop work.

IMHO doesn't seem fair on those of us who do either work or don't see our dhs as they are working all the hours god sends just to provide basics

actually it is Kalifornya [runs off looking the other way]

Sorry but am rofl at those names.

Don't forget Parris

[Listens for sounds of sharpening pitchforks in distance]

they would earn less if they worked. Who could blame them for not working?

The problem seems to be it's in leafy surburbia where it's just not cricket

Give 'em a marquee.

'I was born to have children.' She forgot the 'be a low life' part.

I was thinking tents, hunker .

nice expat, nice

they could live in a shoe.

expat - step away from teh thread containing dual references to housing and benefits.

I could blame them for not working! Maybe she was 'put on this earth to have children' but I wasn't put on earth to pay for them!

And cigarette lighters and Kalifornya, goat .

I'd say 500K is a huge underestimate.

presumably they don't own the house, and will have to downsize to a smaller house in a less salubrious area when the kids leave home...

perhaps we could send the children up chimneys to assuage the poor tax payer's feelings.

Weedy bloke, IMO.

Oh, yes, zoo, it's so nice that people making minimum wage subsidise able-bodied peoples' deliberately procreating to avoid working.

Blimey, she's only 35. She could have a dozen more!

You think it's OK to have children and children and children and children that you can't afford, ZK?

If I have another 10, will you send me a cheque each month, please?

I am a bit envious

No, zoo, maybe we should reform the benefits system to reward working where possible rather than handing over £500,000 homes.

It's a neccessary evil of the welfare system
