I'm really not sure if this is for real, if it is it's very unusual for the BBC.

Just look at their outgoings for a laff.

Massaged figures ! Mobiles £32 - Other £91 -Rent £76 . Scrap the mobiles , cut the other down to realistic levels - and how come the rent to a Private Landlord - for an ex council gaff - is as low as that that price looks like what a council owned house should be . Poorly researched by the BBC - it`s never been the same since Agile Tony left

I dunno, it is wales so that rent could be right (weekly)?

Weekly shopping £240
Includes food and household goods, 24
cans of lager, 200 cigarettes and a large
pouch of tobacco

LoL, we are so ****ed.
