Just been told the system,its weird,it seems to be weighed in favour of the folks who have never worked
Correct as I understand it, and then people wonder why some have no incentive to work.

If i strolled down the JC tomorrow to sign on, what sort of money would i be expecting a week?
What the hell are you supposed to do with £71 a week?£71 per week if your over 25.
What the hell are you supposed to do with £71 a week?
Half a tank of diesel, 7 tins of baked beans and a smartprice bog roll I guess
I know !
Im already down to 4 hookers and 2 bags of coke a week.
Cant trim back any further.
;-)
Cheers Trev, having read most of the posts on here, it seems alot of resentment to people who sign on.
Now I know I don't have to justify why but feel maybe I can get a point across. I am 35 years old, worked full time since I left school at 16 and paid all my taxes. I have been self employed since the beginning of the year. I have joined a scheme paid my insurances. My van remains taxed and insured at all times.
I have had a reasonable amount of work come in too survive, but recently it seems to have dried up. Now looking on this forum it is not just me having this problem.
But there comes a time when you don't have money but the bills and rent still need paying every month, my partner only works part time, but is looking for another job or full time work but can't get anything.
Now unlike some people who seem to have a reasonable amount of money saved up and don't see a need to do it, I am not in a privileged position to be able to do that. Although I have waited as long as possible before actually doing it in the hope work would come in. Now the strange thing is I have priced 3 jobs up in the 4 days although not heard of I have any of them yet.
The system is there to help folk when in need, now I know opinions divide on this but when i have paid my dues surely I am entitled to take from a pot that I have contributed too for the last 19 years?
I sign on when there nothing to do, dont see the shame in it, you just need to lie constantly yes mr advisor ill be sure to apply for the that courier job, blah blah blah, whatever p*ss off. I got a written warning last time for being 10mins late. its like being back in school.
Aye, they once did that with me too, so thereafter whenever they were late, I used to write a letter of complaint to the manager cc d to the district manager. I did the same thing if I thought the staff were being rude & disrespectful too.
You must have had to write a lot of letters, they are always rude, disrespectful and late.
