"Press '1' if you speak English."

''Press ''2'' to disconnect until you can.."
Have a nice day.

Unemployment benefit in Australia for single people is around $500 dollars  a fornight,about £294,Wouldn't it be amazing if this was introduced in the UK Smiley Wink

 

And regards the social security phone announcment-I don't believe it as there are many Indigenous people to whom English is not their first language,But to recognise this would take a bit of English common sense,wouldn't it?

And rent assistance, (housing benefit), for that same single person would be a maximum of A$124 a fortnight, about £72 or £36 a week - Wouldn't it be amazing if this was introduced in the UK Smiley Wink

 Smiley LOL I see one of the very sad gang. You will need strength after that childish remark. That I promise you.

 

  The evidence of your bad manners to other posters is very well known. I and others watched you with a well respected poster.

 

  How you have got away with it so long I don't know. But  the evidence is still there and he will remember for sure.

 

  I will have a chat with someone tomorrow.   Yes your MR XSmiley LOL

 

You are indeed a strange person...Got away with what.... Typing a few words on an internet forum... having a bit of fun... sense of humour bypass springs to mind...

I should quit now if I were you and your mate creeky, who came on to the thread to answer for you. And as usual gave the game away. If only he had have waited at least a while then he like YOU would not have a RED face now.

 

Smiley LOL 'having a bit of fun' is that what you call it ?!   (A selective memory Mr X)   You remember alright someone else not me. 

 

'You are indeed a strange person'  I would be if like others I let you and your mate get away with it. Hard luck!

 

Now move on or you'll get this thread locked too.
