And thereby you prove my statement about people making vague judgements from minimul facts. You watched them on wifeswap and just how long is that show ? 30-40 minutes maybe, but from that you can without doubt say you know their lives inside out ? Total poppycock. You saw the 30-40 minutes that was put together from a week or so in someones life. Its like saying I saw a picture of someone on DLA kicking a football with their son, that picture depicts a split second of the moment, but
you would convict on that evidence alone Just because someone kicks a football about for 5-10 minutes with their son or mows the lawn once a month etc does not make them workfit. I can kick a football about for about that long but afterwards I
have to sit down for a good hour to recover and I dont do it that often either, but to get those 5-10 minutes in when I can is damn worth it despite the after effects of doing it. My wife has just helped her sister settle into a new house, she will now be laid up for at least a week because of 2 days of helping out a member of family for free, if you saw her on those 2 days you
would say how come she is on benefit, she is fit to work. but if you saw her for the rest of the month you would maybe have a different opinion. Things are not allways what they seem especially when you only have a small ammount of facts to base your opinion on. When need arises most can do something, but can it be sustained is the real question.
