Monoeuvre? Isn't that 'one egg' in French. Is cmon trying to confuse us even more by going bi-lingual( gobbledygook and French).

Of course it is, DinG.
My French lessons were a long while ago and our French teacher was a little German with a thick German accent so I did(and do) get a little confused sometimes. Mono- Latin for one? Can't remember any of that either

Not really. About 81% of what he wrote is correct ... which doesn't seem to fit with "totally" ... Oh, and by the way, I would brush up on your punctuation. Particularly the use of the apostrophe in contractions. Maybe you avoid contractions because you dont want to remotely be connected with labour

I nearly missed that one. Subtle.

But don't forget it's 'don't'.

Moving house is stressful and expensive. I should know - done it ten times.

The notion of relocating people into accommodation of a more suitable size is treating people like animals.

People who want to downsize should be assisted financially and physically to do so, but there are people who cannot afford it, cannot cope with the stress of it, and this legislation is arm twisting by a government who have no concern for the welfare of the people they are shuffling about like a pack of cards.

So you think its a great idea to let one person carry on living in a 3 or 4 bed property then, all alone

I am sure that some of the people who do live in oversized property would like to move. The saving on heating and cleaning are an incentive, but many of them are elderly and infirm, so imposing a house move on them is a life shortening experience.

Housing Associations should have extra funding to provide such people with a team of workers who will finance, physically pack and unpack, redecorate, - ie take the stress out of the move.

This 'arm twisting' is just one shade lighter than compulsion, similar to the forced moving of people during WW2, when the Isle of Man became one big concentration camp.

That's all well and good Margaret but the fact is these properties become one or two(man and wife) occupancies long before people become infirm and unable to cope with moving, most kids have flown the coop well before their parents become 60, its is the time to act. Its been a problem for years yet nobody has tackled it before

This legislation is using a 'stick' solution when a 'carrot' way might well be more productive.

like who this is going to affect people with just one more room,you really come out with stupid statements.what is the percentage of single people claiming housing benefit on 3 or 4 bed property

Another aspect to these 'rules' is the way that couples are expected to share a bedroom.

When one or both of them have health problems, such an arrangement isn't wise.

Lizardbreath and Phil the Greek have always had separate bedrooms so why should couples be compelled to share.
