Patronising 'old chap' approach combined with the old standard 'it was just a gentle joke' routine and the 'I am probably older than you' line miss the point that you tried to mock older people on benefits, perhaps you are a disgruntled 'hardworking' Tory 'taxpayer'.
However given that your 'springs' are 'off' perhaps it would be better to read my original post to try and spot the irony. If your offspring serving in the forces ever get wounded and have to come back here and claim benefits then I would hope your gentle humour will sustain them.
Nothing grumpy about me BTW....much funnier than you will ever be.
Seam to be very angry for some reason. At a loss to understand your point. I have had a very serious heath problem myself.And I get help for that.
A long standing supporter of the Labour party as well. In your first reply to me you said something about people giving their lives so that people like me can make fools of old people. My daughter is about to go into a war zone. My family, from Bootle lost many in the 1st & 2nd World wars.
My jokey post about picking coal etc was not far from the truth. In the early 50's in Bootle my brother would follow the coalman and pick up bits of coal. We very often had no heat in the house so every bit of fuel was used.
Bootle was the most bomb damaged borough in the whole of the UK and me and my older brother used to play in and around houses that had been hit. We were still on ration books till '54 so the early part of my life wasn't some spoon fed tory paradise.
As I say I'm at a loss to understand your level of anger, just for posting a 'python' type joke. Nothing to do with your personal circumstances.
Anyway I bid you good morning.
