Funny you should say that I was a cycle courier once...dunno, he said he got on his bike to find a job an thought he became a courier :C
wasnt directly aimed at you Nicky,i didnt knock the polish in my post, i just said im sure we could find a polish vet for £7 an hour.
There is not a workforce shortage only a descent wage shortage
No - I don't believe that my generation will be able to afford to retire. I can't see the country being able to afford state pension when my generation (that includes you) gets to retiring age. I can't afford a private pension, I have a mortgage.(Do you intend to draw a state pension when you retire? I hope not because the hypocrisy might be too much)
Of course I do, just like we make assumptions of every person we meet, or every person we come across on the internet. I couldn't walk out of my front door without feeling emasculated relying on the state whilst there was work out there. Look at the job pages - there are hundreds of them. We are getting people into their 3rd generation where they have not worked a day in their lives. Not saying that is you, but some people get used to being paid to sit on their fat arse. They seem to have a lot more free time than I do. They also seem to find the money for big TVs, booze and cigarettes. :CMr apache, you know nothing about me but because I have mentioned a government benefit system you have made many assumptions of me.
I have no-problem telling people what I think. I have said exactly what I have said in this thread to people's faces. People actually appreciate honesty, there are too many people in life who will tell you what they think you want/need to hear.I really have no reason to explain why I made the decision to sign on to anybody, least of all to some stranger over the Internet who I know for a fact would not say the same thing to me if we were face to face.
I have. McDonald's are recruiting. Flip burgers. Clean toilets. Sweep the road. Empty the bins. Dig graves. Get A job. It's easier than you think.Last point before bed time: not one person on here so far has offered any advise to find employment, only criticise my own personal decision about something quite trivial.
Its not as easy as that. I could give many examples but here's a current one. An old Friend of mine, husband ran off (now divorced)he had fiddled the mortgage and everything else she ended up with nothing. She had worked most of her life. She now lives in a rented room in a shared house & also gets some money,all via various benefits. Shes around 50 now and seriously looks for work but none she sees even offer enough to cover her room, fares to work and a food. She does voluntary work in a hospice and charity shop 5 days a week to fill her time. I have even picked her up to take her to a few job interviews because she could not afford 4 extra fares in one week. Even the off peak subsidized bus pass she was given was knocked back at the beginning of the year.How I hate the word entitled. MacDonald's are recruiting. If I was out of work I would do anything that was legal and paid the bills. Your post reads that because you have paid in to the system you are entitled to your share back. Funny thing is there are loads of jobs out there that no-one wants to do.
