Thought this was brilliant. Saw it over breakfast this morning, and they're trying to justify getting back onto the dole. Email responses while they were was brilliant as they didn't convince anyone, and the council rep outclassed them.
Scratchcard couple

John and Louise Nickels who won £100,000 on a scratchcard in 2006 are asking for housing benefits to help pay their council tax.
When the couple from London won the money they owed £11,000 in arrears in council tax and rent, which they paid. Their benefits were stopped but they still received incapacity benefit of £90 a week - their rent is £80 a week so they say they haven't enough to live on.
John has a frozen shoulder and plans to soon return to work while Louise is waiting on an hip operation.
In February they ran out of money after spending it on a £22,000 caravan which is now worth £6,500. It is currently up for sale as the council expect them to sell it. They also went on holiday a couple of times and bought a second-hand Ford Mondeo second hand for £16,000.
They claim they have no money left and need extra benefits to survive.
