  • I saw the font and was immediately hit with flashbacks to my Universal Credit days when I was counting pennies when buying tins at Lidl, keeping bread in the freezer for toast and seasoning it with salt, pepper and paprika so it had some flavour, or occasionally having to eat sleep because my part-time job (the only one I could get) was late paying me for the week.


  • OP, if you’re a Universal Credit signee: stay strong, just be polite and cordial with the in person sessions and they’ll do their best to work the system as much as they can.

    Trust me, being polite and positive with the person in the Job Centre brightens their day as it’s a break from them having to deal with the dregs of society.

    It’s a shitty system but having been there before at my lowest time in life, it can get better.
