Shouldn't be telling anyone mate as they all will be trying it as the recession tightens it's grip and jobs become harder to find

[prestige cleaners]

I remember earning £7.50/h - wasn't much money but the good side was I was finishing and didn't have to worry about anything or even think about work, the downside not being able to afford lots of things

the prices are on the high side,  but a lot of have lived here for a few years and only paid 30 k for there homes,  a lot down here have big familys and get lots in CTC which works out to be about £50 per kid,  my mate in the village has got 5 kids and gets about 600 a week as he is on the sick, (this includes his rent)

[darren clarke]

regarding houses, a lot of the cornish wither still live at home will they get married, or build huses on land there daddy owns  or inherite houses,  but you get a lot that work summer months  get there rent paid by council and spend the winters in the pub,  its a weird place to live till you understand how it works down here,  but i live in villages   the likes of truro might be like you towns
