Forget the silver spoon crap , enough kids born in 2 up 2 downs with an outside lavvy have raised themselves up through either their own or their parents efforts to suceed in life without a crutch (see William Woodruff /Road to Nab End thread) .

I know what you mean Jack.
When I left school I had nothing - I've got twice as much now.

Was eaga a registered not for profit company? If so it would have had rules about excessive profits being mad and not put back into the company.

Please explain what you mean about us not having access to the gas supply for this company, this is interesting

Eaga was set up as a non profit making company to issue the free grants, they have been questioned about the profits, and do the usual ducking and diving on the subject.
Our gas was north sea gas I believe, and am told that most of this is sold of to other countries, and we buy ours in from Russia, predominantly, at a much higher cost than we sell our north sea gas for, not sure about the politics regarding this, but we do pay much more for gas than we would have to do if the nationalised industries had remained that way, as it is, most of our resources are foreign owned and that, along with gulf wars, is th reason we are fleeced.

I can't get it because they say so. Who am to argue with the rules (even though I did put in an appeal and lost). It seems your ex could be getting Income Based Job Seekers Allowance or Income Support. Either way I can't get anything unless I try for DLA which I have tried for before and been refused 3 times. Apparently losing the use of your arm and being unable to cope with everyday tasks are not a disability. Blow that for a game of marbles. My stubborn nature will get me a job one way or another. I can be very tenacious when I want
