Probably not, I was just wondering how long a foreigner has to work there before he qualifies for welfare. They get 204 euro after two years here, or half of that for under 18 months. Madness!! Thats nearly the minimum wage in the UK.

Some of us have different attitudes, for me there is shamed attached to claiming benefits and would rather clean floors then do it.
