You only need to know one word in Euskera: beherapenak - sale!😛
 
Morning 5.7 for me today, productive day so far, application form submitted and a claim for universal credit (whatever that is) although apparently I have to be ready for a phone call at any time up to 9pm at night to report immediately to the job centre, that'll be fun given that it's 8 miles away I have no car and there are no buses after 6! They didn't tell me I had to be a marathon runner 😱
 
Good morning 🙂 5.3 for me today.

I think it's fairly obvious why there has been such a rise in employment, especially in PT and self-employed jobs - the govt. have made it so difficult to comply with their draconian rules that people will do anything but have to jump through their hoops! :(

Good luck with the application KC, I hope you can escape the lif of a 'scrounger' and join the 'hard-working' people as part of the 'long-term economic plan'! 🙂

The whole thing is a bit of a farce, if they ring me at 9pm I'll most probably be asleep, although I expect they'll tell me I'm not allowed to. I hope for their sake this is short term because I don't imagine I'm going to take this well 😱
 
Good morning all A pleasing 6.0 today. Good luck with that application Kooky. Sounds like you could be applying for a 'bush tucker trial' !
 
Good morning everyone 6.2 for me🙂
 
Morning all.🙂 7.3 here.😛

9pm?! And what happens after the phone call? You have to rush out somewhere in your jammies? Sounds crazy...:confused: Good luck Kcat.🙂
 
I agree that the direction our benefits system is taking is frightening
Is it really true that you can be expected to turn up at short notice with no public tranpsort and no means of getting there other than ( expensive) taxi- if the latter option is needed, are you able to claim back the cost?
If so then yet another example of how the system primarily operates to get people off of benefits even if they have no other means of supporting themselves.

I expect it's not actually going to happen, I think it's just all to make you think twice about claiming benefits, because obviously anyone who has to is intending to just sit around and do nothing. Much like their parting message on the website that says "did you know you could earn more working?"....erm yes I do know that as it happens. To be honest it's laughable, people who don't want to work (which I believe is the minority btw) won't care, those who can't will just feel humiliated and patronised and everyone else will feel pressured. I bet they paid some agency millions to come up with that peach 🙄
 
Morning a house special 5.2 for me 🙂
