Re the woman in #2 complaining she cannot manage on £2000 pm benefits, turns out she's in Grimsby, according to our lad Thomas Micheal you can get a large portion of fish n chips for £3.50 in Grimsby. That price quite believable as you can get a 'Pensioners Portion' of fish n chips here for £5.50, not a generous size, but adequate
