    Wearing so many clothes I cannot find my body any more..

    To be fair; in the UK they get a single annual cold weather payment; here it is E20 a week solid fuel allowance, six months of the year, and also a good electricity allowance.

    None of which I have as when you move house, instead of simply transferring the benefits they make you reappy which can take many weeks... and weeks.. and weeks...



    ote=Noffles;63822753]Great comment on Talk Radio:

    "in the UK the old folks have been told to put the heating up and don't worry about the heating bill too much as there will be assistance given... In Ireland the old folks are told, lower the heating to a sensible level, wear plenty of layers and keep moving...."

    Gotta laugh!![/quote]
