I do recall being instructed by one sympathetic benefits officer to 'go on the sick'
if I wanted to escape the intimidation and imposition of full time mickey mouse traing schemes,
and actually do an adult education course of my own desire
that would be genuinely to my benefit..

But my Doctor refused to sign me on as sick, even though I was clearly very stressed and at the end of my tether..
Guess he might have had tory principles...!!!???

So that was the final straw .. bye bye helpful and nurturing benefits system...
hello full time long term pennyless house husbandry..
