I've always said no one is poor in this country.

The Queen & the DoE are pensioners. They can probably afford a 700 GBP
TV -
but that doesn't prove that all pensioners are rich - and certainly
doesn't
prove that no-one is poor.


In order to obtain a 'Pension' ; off the state, one is required to have made
the appropriate number of _contributions_ - they used to be called 'stamps'
but are now a percentage of salary. [One can, of course, pay for the
contributions oneself].
I doubt that either the Queen or DoE (Dept of Enviroment?} have made the
contributions. They have attained 'old age' but (presumably) are not
pensioners


Of course a far greater concern is the number of people who don't
understand
simple logic.


Ooh! Fancy! A do-it-yerself petard hoist! [the only relevance to d-i-y in
the post]
