Well, assumptions based on things you've posted.
I don't think I'd be a million miles out if I said Bobby spoke for a lot of us.
Really? So you spend your life concerned about what other people have?
Couple of things should explain it.
1. The sofa and my PC were bought by Mrs JC when she sold her house. Before that happened she'd lost everything and had a haemorrhagic stroke leaving her disabled permanently. She lost her house and she has two kids so we needed a decent sofa and a spare bed. So she used her money to buy it and the TVs, given we hardly ever go out etc.
2. We don't claim anything we are not entitled to and have no more in savings than we're allowed. We've provided receipts for everything we own
3. When we got married our benefits were cut by 30 percent but we didn't care because we don't cheat or lie.
4. I get a set amount a month. I'm left with around £100 a month to spend as I wish. I don't go out, have no friends, don't drink etc. That's how I can save and buy things.
5. The trainers did not cost £90 Mal posted that not me but FYI just lately I've not been very well and had been,erm, injuring myself so Mrs JC bought them for me, hence me not confirming or mentioning the price.
6. Just because Mrs JC and I claim benefits does not mean that I should have had to post points 1-5.
How would you feel if I stuck my nose into your personal affairs?
