The dentist

I work ya daft get, I don't have time to carry out research.

Not angry or hysterical either, but you are showing your naivety if you genuinely believe the culture of benefit claimants is only as rife as the research you have seen claims.

So I'm naive for (mostly) believing that research and official statistics show an insight but when people say their views are 100% right I'm at fault?
 
Back to the dentist: don't they get paid by the NHS for treating us, then charge us as well? I mean, I work and I have to pay to go to the dentist. Yes I can afford it but by fuck does it annoy me having to pay a considerable amount for the privelidge. And that's before the arguement about kids, pregnant lasses and dolies.

I'm not saying I or others on here are 100% right. I understand my personal experiences will be different from others and the observations I've made over the years have directly influenced my opinion.
What I am saying, is you appear to believe the research, over and above what people are telling you are their experience and understanding. No one on here is going to go out and carry out research to quantify what they a saying, so that is a bit of a null question really.

I am also saying the official research can be biased, specifically if the subjects have something to lose by telling the truth.
 
It's not free if you're on the dole.

Well not if you're on contributions based benefits, i.e. if you've paid in (via taxes etc.) you don't get it free!
No idea marra, always paid, I just assumed if you were on the rock and roll you got it free...although wife's company always pays half towards it, good old American companies :lol:
 
Anyone know why you have to pay money at point of use for an nhs dentist (when working) yet for medical stuff the nhs will continue to wipe the arse of people who have expensive self inflicted problems?

There is an article on sky news app where a young lad who works in a supermarket has been ill from not being able to afford dental work. Go to the Royal and its full of scruffs getting free treatment from decades of living on pizzas, fosters, tabs/drugs
Just thank the Lord that most of the Jeremy Kyle generation don't avail themselves.

Been on the dole a couple of times recently, due to a couple of redundancies. I assumed it would be free but I was told I was on the wrong type of JSA benefit, contributions based.

I didn't bother to ask after that.

Like the wrong kinda snow, that's a bit shit tbh
 
The hysteria surrounding benefits atm may not be justified, however imo they shouldn't get the basic check up for free, they have 6 months to save 18 f***ing quid, or in similar applicable terms, two boxes of tabs.

@Frijj you getting a good bit of abuse for being a student for so long mind mate haha

Four years and a year of that was paid for

Some folk are just jealous I spent four years deeing nowt, getting pissed and shagging lasses

Okay last bit ain't true ha
 
Still got a temporary dressing on a tooth that's been there for about two years now. Dentist keeps wanting to repair it properly but I'd have to pay more for her to do that and it's not hurting so I've just left it as it is :oops:
