Anyway back to topic.....How does one qualify for these vouchers?

It is true I have seen it happen, but at no point did I say I was one of those people. I only wish I was.

People notice me for all the wrong reasons. I would be the person in a corner of the room trying to remember to breathe or mowing people down in my haste to escape. Oh yes people notice me alright. Very pretentious I am.

As for using my name it is merely politeness. Like signing your name on a card or letter or saying goodbye before you hang up the phone, but since politeness is obviously not wanted here I will remove it.

Good idea I think - this thread has all got a bit much. I think we should draw a line under all the confusion and try and get along.

To qualify for the vouchers you must be in reciept of income support or invalidity benefit, and have a child or children of qualifying age.

I don't qualify.

To be honest I wish I didn't.

I wouldn't be without my kids but the rest of my qualifying traits I could happily live without.

I think it is a very good scheme and hope the vouchers cannot just be used in supermarkets as I find their fruit and veg overpriced.

Buying fruit and veg from markets is much cheaper, but you have to be wary of where they get it from.

I like to go to a greengrocer.

I am going through a tinned raspberry phase.

I don't like shops such as Iceland who are promoted as selling family food when the majority of their food is processed, turkey twizzler type food. Iceland doesn't even sell frozen fruit.

We have garden centres locally with greengrocer's shops attached, and not only can you buy fresh, locally produced fruit and veg but you can also buy frozen. I like the frozen fruit pick and mix; there are selections such as red berries, tropical fruit and such, you scoop them into bags and buy by weight.

Has anyone else tried the frozen fruit Smoothie packs from Tesco (and other places probably). They're excellent!
