I wonder if the reason it lowers blood pressure is because they have less blood (hence less pressure?) my non medical mind at work....

Also, surely a better idea would be to have a blood donation drive instead, same idea, but then they actually get something beneficial and it might actually help save a life! :)

The 10 devious new scams you've never heard of (and how to avoid them)

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 
One of the latest scams to break out in the UK is the mobile phone bolt on scam supposedly being run by O2. they call you from an 0800 number and give the impression they work for O2....I have had 3 calls in 3 days and each time i just put the phone down.But they are persistant and in some cases they will quote personal details to convince you they are O2.If you get a cold call from an 0800 number just answer and put the phone down, they are paying for it not you.DONT TALK TO THEM.

My week in the man desert: In some parts of Britain, 70% of children live without fathers. YASMIN ALIBHAI-BROWN visited one of them and discovered the devastating consequences
Ladywood, Birmingham, is utterly dominated by single-parent families
Relationships break down fast and frequently
Children of single mothers often end up single mothers themselves
Absent fathers are a common factor among criminals, drug addicts, and self-harmers

All they need to do is marry the DNA that the police hold to The Child Support Agencies computers and hey presto 80% of single mothers children will have an identifiable father. Do not know if this will help the problem because most of the time its the mothers themselves that want to get pregnant.Either through absolute laziness or problems at home. in my local Wetherspoons during the afternoon its almost like a single mothers convention....90% are just fat lumps of lard, uneducated and unemployable and contrary to popular opinion most are white. Strange thing though despite the so-called crack down on benefits all can afford to buy booze and run smart phones on contract.I have two elderly friends who are trying to downsize into what we used to call granny flats because of the Bedroom Tax.Both are in their 60s and on benefits but they cannot move because there is nothing out there to move into. Hackney is now offering fully furnished houses in Hull if people want to move out of London.The only answer is to go back to Hostels for Single Mothers and stop The Right to Buy, as they have done in Scotland last week.The girls know the system inside out.How much Housing Benefit they can get. Grants for this and that.They have been brought up in the system because as you already stated,its more or less certain their mother was also on benefit too. Stop money payments and emulate the Americans, pay them in food stamps redeemable only in certain shops because a large majority only see the child as a source of income.

How can they afford to be in Weatherspoons drinking, smoke/ smart phones, (drugs etc. )I can't on my pension - it is sooooo unfair. Then piddled go to pick up the children from school !! Agree they all get pregnant for housing and benefits.
I was speaking to one of these benefit youngsters to-day, he just won't work, nothing wrong with him. He offered to fill in forms for me !!! told me I just had to know the system, he said he was ashamed of what he was getting compared to what us pensioners get. :banghead::banghead::angry_smile::angry_smile:
Scroungers, the lot of them.

A few years ago it came to light that a school in Portsmouth was actually teaching teenagers about how to get benefits....including single mother benefits................
...............there was one slapper who used to plan to get pregnant every 2 years to the dot......not just for the benefits but because she was making a fortune by shoplifting and (quote) ..."If I has a kid under 5 it keeps me out of prison".................another equally brain challenged slapper from the same district once threw her baby at a store detective to avoid being caught for shoplifting..........and social services gave the child back to her !!!!!

Hardly any wonder we have "Benefits Britain" .........

Can I point out that not all single parents are as you describe - and neither are two parent families perfect. I am a single parent, was a home owner in the UK and a higher rate tax payer.

I don't think I could live in India, and definitely not in Hayana, with attitudes like that - and the attitudes of some of the younger respondants - unbelievable!
