Doley is Australian slang for someone who claims unemployment benefit.
Someone who's only means of subsistence is the money paid to them by the state to avoid hardship because they are unable or unwilling to work. The obvious trappings of poverty such as "clothes by Tesco", were a constant source of amusement to those children who were lucky enough to have slightly more affluent parents. Strange how they could almost always afford to smoke and drink but not buy decent food, clothes or shoes for their kids! The "Thatcher Years" were a depressing time for the British.
Insult directed at povvos, doleys and so on. Derived from Fine Fare supermarket's economy range of "Yellow Packet" products. Being seen with a bag of Yellow Packet crisps was tantamount to admitting you were receiving free school meals. "Ey, them trainies are dead yellow packet they are!", (Used during the early "Thatcher Years").
