"They haven’t worked in 11 years, claiming their weight is due to a hereditary condition.
Instead, the family spend their days in front of a television borrowed from a friend. "

"Yet of their £22,508 a year in tax-free benefits - equivalent to a £30,000 salary - Mr Chawner said: ‘What we get barely covers the bills and puts food on the table. It’s not our fault we can’t work. We deserve more.’"

Always nice to know your tax money (or in this case the English taxpayers money) goes to people who so fully deserve it.

Oh jebus not the whole it's my genes excuse again!
The fat gene only indicates if you are more prone to gaining weight,the way people throw it about as an excuse annoys me so much grrrrrrr:mad:,like eating all those crisps had nothing to do with it!

Well I would say it takes a lot of money to feed their fat arses.

Maybe they could apply as elephants for the zoo. Free food!

They would have to borrow a dictionary and look up the meaning of the word first.

They'd probably eat him. It's the logical choice.

Its what I was thinking. They mention they love TV, its on from first thing in the morning and take naps between.

When asked why dont they diet- 'We dont have the time'.

Im sorry, I have to go there- Id say the smell in that fücking living room would make you vomit.

I'd say they have a chest freezer stuffed full of frozen TV licnese inspectors too...

1) They'd probably barely cover breakfast with him

2) They seem like the home delivery kind.

"What we get...barely puts food on the table".
Insert your own punchline:

PS Why does the shopping list have 0 pears? Why not 0 everything else not on the list? Why, so specifically, pears?

Mr Chawner said: ‘We love TV. It’s on from the moment we get up. Often I’m so tired from watching TV I have to have a nap.’

When I grow up, I wanna be like him.

Gummy Panda

How can they watch TV all day when its so bad?

I don't mean bad as in unhealthy but bad as in TV channels are crap. They must be retarded now from watching so much rubbish.

how can you not have time to not eat??????

They're not really that fat... before I saw the pictures, I was expecting something like you'd see on the Discovery channel where they can't even get out of the bed unassisted.
Surely there's some job that involves sitting on your arse all day eating biscuits, maybe they could monitor CCTV cameras or something... just tell them it's a new reality TV show.

Exactly... play to their strengths.
Maybe get some kind of endorsement deal for biscuits or couches... "Such and Such Co. sofas are so comfortable I just want to stay at home all day watching TV and eating biscuits".

might be a bad advertisement for bikkies though - eat these and you'll be just as fat and disgusting as us lazy fúcks

skyhighflyer

I have to give Mr Chawner credit for winding up the Daily Mail reporter as much as he could:

"I bought some pears once, but they tasted funny."

"Sometimes I'm so tired from watching TV I need a nap"

I think its the Mail readers who are really being made idiots of here: getting their panties in a bunch while Mr Fatman laughs on the couch at the idea they're paying for him to watch TV and generally be a fat mess.

Not condoning this kind of laziness but still.

They could be life coaches...if you don't eat well and exercise you could end up like us dun dun dunnnnnnn!

ejmaztec

They'd make more than the dole money if they did a family non-work-out video. 90 minutes of them touching each other's toes cause they couldn't touch their own (probably haven't seen their own toes since 1993).

That doesn't make sense. I know you swapped "genes" and "jeans" in an attempt at a joke, but "jeans" makes no sense in the context of this situation.

Edit - I might have it: People wear jeans, and the Chawners are also people - is "people" the connection?

Thank you! I was trying to make sense of that...clarification needed
