    I have the nasty feeling that you are only allowed to earn £5 a week whilst on J.S.A. Numpty if you're single and childless..its been that figure for years now if my memory serves me correctly on that. Daft isnt it? - thats not even 1 hours worth of money is it?

    good luck ...

    Hi Numpty - just read the entire thread. Sorry to hear that you were made redundant - I join the ranks of the unemployed next week too..... Got an interview tomorrow though....

    You don't sound like any warehouse people I have ever met - it suggests that you have been under using your talents - Take this opportunity if you can to upgrade your skills...

    Well according to the Houseing Benefits Office I've never made a claim,
    so I have to make a new one from today's date, and apply to get it backdated

    "a pain in arris" - I'll have to remember that phrase Numpty:rotfl: :rotfl: You've just given me a laugh to start the day with - I can just picture you saying that....

    Hope things get better soon for you Numpty.
