Yes,like I said the old boy network exists,but even that network only goes so far.In any case we were talking about start in Life though,weren't we?

Yup,that's exactly what they're doing to get kind of a guilt trip going,or maybe to paint themselves as victims and poor creatures who shouldn't have to sacrifice?

Rubbish... he's just wondering how it's possible for someone to work full-time and not be able to afford such trainers and for someone on benefits to be able to do just that. Is that sensible?
Work should always pay,that's the bottom line.If someone on benefits can afford more,or as in some cases families on benefits have more disposable income than working families then there's something seriously wrong with the system. Agreed?

Maybe you should go and see your GP about your 'Dave depression'. If Dave's face and voice are enough to cause depression I'd say you got problems.Get help,Gary!

Neither,I just rebuked your nonsense assertion that most of Britain is depressed.... in any case most of the population on this Island isn't working anyway so your statement is a load balls from the get go.

What if the sky falls in tomorrow?What if a massive meteor hits us tomorrow afternoon? What if the Borg really exist and invade later tonight? What if all the nonsense predictions the eco-fascists and luddites made don't come true and man learns and adapts and thrives for a long time to come?
Questions that no one has answer to and don't matter in the slightest right now... how about that.
