They, too, have their public resorts, promenades for layabouts to walk in, resorts that bear some relation to ours, but which only go to show the futility of the endeavour.
Those two months are the beginning of the layabout life which no teacher and no pupil wants.
These people, categorised as layabouts, should have to report every morning to the local authority for community work before being entitled to benefit.
When it suits another, they are layabouts, strike-bound and always causing trouble.
The prejudice is that if someone is unemployed he is a scrounger and a layabout.
I suspect that he thinks that there is a lot of malingering, and there are many layabouts, behind the figures on absenteeism and ill health.
These are not layabouts; they are people waiting for the opportunity which we have to offer them.
I do not believe that they are idle layabouts.
