Sorry mods, but I just couldn't help but post this:

I've just actually read the full ebay posting - get right down to the bottom and read his latest update. This bloke doesn't need a job he needs a knighthood (as well as a job).

The jobcentre is a joke anyway,my mate recently came out of work in his 50's after working all his life he enquired at the job centre as to what his options were only to be told "we're not here to give advice"!

Yes but that's what I'm saying - they SHOULD be there to offer help and support to get people back to work.
They don't, but they should be.

They should be helping people write and print CVs, giving interview tips, giving advice on how to approach employers and helping with writing letters as well as acting as a state run employment agency, primarily acting to get people into jobs and long-term careers, so people genuinely trying to find work aren't left feeling they need to 'think outside the box' to get a job, like in the story in the Mirror. As it is they're just another bloated waste of public money which serves only to stop the lazy jobsworths who work there from having to sit the other side of the desk.

Do you understand what I'm getting at, Phil?

The fella who's doing this looks mighty familiar to me, I just can't think who the hell it is.
