I have a few acquaintances like that - happy to claim from the taxpayer but too big and clever to stack shelves or sweep floors. Misplaced pride perhaps?
Not lumping everyone in the same boat here - I'll repeat again that some people give others a bad name! But sadly there are a lot of people like that :bang:
i know of some people which have been turned down jobs in supermarkets, even if it's a job they've done while at sixth form etc. but there is a lot of people who like you say would rather be on a little amount a month than working doing some such job untill a more suitable job comes up which means they'd earn more money.
