Well, as far as anyone can tell, a single person only needs £45-£50 a
week to live on after all housing costs are paid. This must be true,
because it's the Income Support level, and that wouldn't be wrong...

To be fair, pork projects are a good way of keeping the employment
figures up.

Now, we might prefer they were *our* GNU/pork - but that's probably our
fault for not having the pork-bidding teams Crapita/MS can bring to bear...
