I'd agree with that. Low level crime and some not so low level crime are usually how they have cash. £75 a week off the social isn't a lifestyle choice.
Very few folk can live off the state nowadays DD, exist maybe, but not live.

When I was growing up in Torry we had a family of 'minkers' live close by. They didn't bother anyone, always had money but didn't work. Scrap was a big part of their income, was always cars over the garden getting stripped down.
The dogs they had weren't allowed to sleep in the house overnight so slept in a van outside and the husband was so put out by this he slept in the van with them too. What a sight that was. His blankets were old coal sacks. :d
What a time to be alive
