It's not being on the system that's cause for concern, it's the blatant abuse of it that is. For what it's worth, I must be one of the lucky ones and have never had to ask for financial assistance for either myself or any member of my family in my life. Nor have any of my three surviving siblings who have all been successful and like me made it on a basic secondary modern education. I put theirs and my success down to a strong work ethic which our mother instilled into us all, oh and she taught us the value of money from a very early age. It's amazing how far the butter will spread on a slice of bread when you neither smoke, drink or gamble. Be careful your Halo doesn't strangle you Alonso.

Oh I forgot to add; it was also instilled in me to live within my means. And that's not being sarcastic just being realisitic.
