Should people on benefits be given a few extra quid this week so that they can drink to the health...

[sandyRoe]

...of the newly married couple?

[ummmm]

Errrr no.

[sandyRoe]

spoilsport ^^^ ;-)

[maclarencat]

NO!! NO!! NO!! on many levels that is so wrong

[bednobs]

well they get a christmas bonus (even the ones who aren't christian) so why not?

[ummmm]

I don't mean to be Sandy. I just think we're so lucky to even get the benefits we do in this country.

[jackthehat]

Splendid idea.
It'll end up in the tills, anyway, and be recycled to the treasury one way or another. :o)

[sara3]

lol.. why don't you treat them all, Sandy?

[wolf63]

Why do people lump all people who get benefits together. Most pensioners get benefit from the government.

[sandyRoe]

I was wanting those in gainful employment to treat me. An extra £20 would allow us to toast them: Good health and long life

[sara3]

ummmm might share a can of Stella with you, if you're lucky.

[ummmm]

I DON'T DRINK FECKING STELLA....x

OH would give you one though :-)

A can of stella that is...

[sandyRoe]

There's champagne on offer at the local offie for just under £20 a bottle. A glass or two of that would serve as a toast

[starone]

Yes please, although I am not guaranteeing to drink to the health of anyone or spend it on anything I don't want to spend it on. Just a thought, is retirement pension counted as a benefit?

[ummmm]

I don't think so Star.....

Some get pension credits though.

[owdhamer]

The Queen could buy everybody a pint and not miss it.

[Postdog]

I'll make do with the day off work - oh, hang on, no change there then.

[brenda]

Definitely sandy -- will be able to borrow a few bob of my friends.

[mrs.chappie]

No....let them buy the drink from the benefits they already receive.
