Benefit St (channel 4)

Its a very rough area :thumbsdown:

In 1995 just around the corner in Dudley Road I got badly beaten (head smashed in with a baseball bat) and robbed by 4 black guys, I'd only pulled up and popped into a post office at lunch time, only handy thing was there is a hospital in Dudley Road so ambulance didnt have far to go.

In 1997 I was driving down Winson Green Road again just 100 metres around the corner, in my company Audi A4 and heard a bang, didnt stop until I got to my destination at the other side of Birmingham and found a bullet had gone through the front wing and was embeded in the engine.

I resigned from my job working in and around Birmingham a week later
 
f**k me... I have to stop watching ... I should know better than to watch program's like this ... The doll one I just think is funny and a bit weird but they are harmless (till they tie you up in the boot of their car and plasticise you) but that street one... Sweet Jesus on a cracker

Why do they have to leave the street like a shithole? They do chuff all in the day can't they tidy up? Why leave it in the s**t tip with mattresses and the like?

I did see a couple of minutes and clocked the Zed. How was it still in one piece?
 
So it doesn't get used that much then....

We used to have them turn up to our retail stores and I'm told you can tell they don't want a job as they are totally disinterested but they have to go on a number of interviews so they keep their Jobseekers allowance, however our vacancies are no longer registered with the Jobcentre.
 
I've just watched Benefits Street on catchup. :o
Only one with anything going for him is 50p man. Alan Sugar should give him a job.

Provided he's not claiming benefit at the same time....

Fair play to the 50 p man , I thought he had some good ideas about himself.

Was about the only "reality tv" I have ever found entertaining.
