Wrong, wrong, wrong. I am a landlord. I once rented one of my flats out to my ex-mate of 26 years, who is a dole-scum-good-for-nothing. The "social" as we call them in Glasgow (Jobseekers, benefit people...) paid the rent money to him, which he was in turn to pay to me. The do noy pay the landlord directly. They do this in order to give some sence of resposability to to worthless scum they are supporting. Make them feel like they are part of it. I once went along with my ex-mate to meet his assigned worker. She did not know I was the landlord. He told her he was hard-up for money. She told him to keep the rent money as the landlord could do nothing about it for 3 months, and even after that, the court costs are so high that most don't bother chasing it, they just evict you and we'll get you another flat. Needless to say my ex-mate Fuc**d off with 4 months rent money, left my flat a stinking mess, and left me to sort all the bills and pay the mortgage. So don't give me all that pi*h about wealthy landlords. Go speak to one and get your facts straight.
Not quite sure what to do with my early mid-life crisis. Ideas on a post card to P.O.BOX 150...
