The handcart to hell is still on target

When I was at Nikki Beach last week, it was €14 for a bottle San bastard Miguel! Where were you buying £12 pints?

 

Out in a fancy craft beer pub near mine. Didn't read the board properly, ****s serve drinks in halves now. To be fair it was an 11% beer, was sort of worth it as it was very nice.

I would just laugh if a barperson tried to sell me a 14€ San Miguel, it's ****ing horrible stuff. Was it a little bottle or one of the big ones?

 

Just a 330ml bottle

 

FS Probably buy 12 of them in Lidl for that and that's more than likely were they got them

 

You can get 12 bottles in a supermarket for about €6 here.

 

What ****s

Do you get any fancy craft beers in Spainland or are they still on lager?

 

Not really sure to be honest mate. I'm not into my craft beers, I don't look out for them, so they may have them in pubs but I just don't notice. I don't like change.

 

Fair play.

You're missing out though, I'm like a kid in a sweetshop with some of the pubs here.

 

Someone on the PL board told a funny anecdote about someone ordering a pint of 'Senorita Beater', made me chuckle.

(I know, Senorita refers to an unmarried woman but nevermind)

 

Well I hope you corrected the uneducated ****?

 

No, I leave the PL board mingling to people like Aldo. Being part of the Elite Whatsapp Group comes with a certain level of responsibility, don't want my online street cred damaged.

 

Women work on averages less hours so get paid on average less .


Charging men £5 for a beer and women £4 is blatant discrimination based on gender something that we have eradicated supposedly.

A woman barrister on £150k year pays less for a beer than a street cleaner man on minimum wage .

Plus we are constantly told that gender doesn't exist .

Weird that you side with the woke brewery .

 

These rules apply to all EEA citizens (including Croatians.who applied before 1 July 2018). A person is self-employed if they run their own business - often as a sole trader.

If someone is self-employed and that activity is genuine and effective, then they have the right to reside and the consequent benefit and housing rights. They do not need to earn enough money from their self-employment to be self-sufficient. They do need to be engaged in the business, not necessarily full-time, and not necessarily earning any money from it.

A claimant who for time being has no current business can still be self-employed. It is the nature of self-employment that there are periods of nil or little work and periods of heightened activity. In the former the person may be engaged in various tasks that are necessary to continue the business such as administrative work, maintaining the accounts, marketing and business development. Although a minimum amount of work is necessary to maintain self-employment whether it is sufficient can only be decided in context of the facts at any particular time.

The DWP has issued guidance for assessing in-work claims including those made by the self-employed. It requires decision makers to ask claimants further questions to test whether the work is 'genuine and effective' where the claimant's average weekly earnings over the last three months are less than the national insurance primary threshold (£166 per week in 2019/20). The guidance cites Bristol City Council v FV [2011] UKUT 494 (AAC) (where the claimant was a street seller of the Big Issue) in support but the decision is clear that if a self-employed person relies on benefits to top up their earnings that fact cannot be used to determine whether the work is effective and genuine. It goes on to say 'Indeed, the tax credits and housing benefit schemes are based on the fact that people in work will need to have recourse to those benefits to live'. But in another case about a Big Issue seller (DV v SSWP [2017] UKUT 155 (AAC)) (pdf) it was decided that the claimant’s earnings must provide a real contribution towards the income he/she requires. In this instance the seller only sold 40 magazines a week and made a net profit of £50.

All you need to do, if you come from Romania, is sell the big issue and good old Blighty will give you a house for you and all you family.

 

Not really, but it's nice that you fall for **** like that.

 

Yes. Really.

 

You conveniently skipped the bit about having to reside here for 3 months before being able to claim, followed by an assessment to see if you're actually going to work. You can't get benefits for more than 6 months.

There's a years long waiting list for council flats, so it would have to be rented from a private landlord. For this, you need a UK bank account, often need a reference, proof of employment, a large deposit, etc...

The idea that people come here to claim benefits is ****ing pathetic.

 

I have to agree with Toby, what big Senga's ride said is utter pish

 

I didn’t skip anything. That was lifted from housing-rights.info

 

It will all come out in the wash.

There, there, my precious dearies.
