In theory, benefits cap is £20k outside London or £24k inside.  But you probably ought to add in freebies like TV licence, council tax etc etc.

To get to £30k you'd need to add in some sort of disability (not hard in this day and age). Then you can add more money, plus the benefit of notability car etc etc. I would imagine £30k is achievable.

this guy had 2 houses being knocked into one, between them they had about 10 kids,

a few had "syndromes" so he was carer for them his wife was his carer, they had 2 free cars,
he told me he got £30k in payments.
to earn that he would need nearer £50k

other than being well overweight there was nothing stopping him working.

I wish I could afford a notability car.

There are 'exceptional' cases like this, the tabloids and channel 5 used to get plenty of mileage out of them. The way I look at it is: despite the apparent unfairness, I certainly wouldn't want to live like that. And for them to actually brag about it, well, it show the level of their aspirations.

You angling for a job as the forum's Rachel Riley?

Couldn't agree more Steve.

Now that is funny....

I'd like a 'Bat out of hell' type of funeral where a large motorcycle comes out of the grave and runs down all the mourners I don't like.

I'm going to have The Stones Hey you, get offa my cloud! played at mine.

......with a Marina estate as the hearse, obviously.

May I also recommend:
- Living in a Box - Living in a Box
- Jamiroquai - Deeper Underground
- The Jam - Going Underground
- Ash - Burn baby burn (if cremation is your preferred modus exitus)

If we were allowed funeral pyres, you could shove me in the back of the Volvo and set it alight! 

What could possibly go wrong? 

[ronnyd]

I,m gonna have "Breathe" by Pink Floyd at mine, because that,s one thing i won,t be doing.

[BazaJT]

What about "Fire" by Crazy World of Arthur Brown? Maybe in the near future cremations will be banned when Greta gets her way?
