    So?

    Why should scum waste their White Lightning reserves on pointless first class stamps and inkjet ink if the application is going straight in the bin? An upfront 'no saps too useless to have a job need apply' policy seems sensible all round.

    that is an american article but I have yet to see anything like that here.

    It maybe that people who are out of work are scrutinised more to find out why they are out of work but to prevent them applying at all I can't see happens alot if at all
    The Googlewhacker referance is to Dave Gorman and not to my opinion of the search engine!

    If I give you advice it is only a view and always always take professional advice before acting!!!

    I have been down the bookies a few times because of the world cup, and a lot of the people in there are betting away their jobseekers :S
