    Also, t'beggars get an extra allowance of something like £8 per week if they are responsible for a pet. I really don't understand how this allowance works, or even if it still exists, but I rather suspect it gets spent on Tennants Super instead of Winalot Beef 'n' Tripe.

    If people weren't such gits, the Welfare State would be more easily defensible.

    When you reach a certain age(soon for you ) all these weird catalogues start coming through the letter box. The big slipper, the wrap around glasses, etc. Some of them are hilarious. My father-in-law(89), sends away for all this stuff. He tries it out, then hands it out to somebody for their Xmas present.

    I don't know why but when I saw the thread I thought it was going to say Homless people shouldn't able to decorate.

    I recall an old busker who had a rather beautiful white alastian. However, they clearly adored each other and the dog was almost certainly his best friend. I know some people gave him cans of dog food so I guess his dog ate ok. I think it would be a hard hearted person (or JP ) that would have taken his dog from him.

    However, I have seen the drug addict attached to a dog by a piece of string syndrome and I believe Manker is right in that there used to be some kind of additional benefit attached to owning a dog. Somehow after a couple of years of Blunkett as Home Secretary I doubt if this is still the case (unless the benefit is five minutes on the wrong end of a stun gun).
