    Oh but I know it's cheaper to eat at home when you are doing lunch for more than one person than it is to make a full sandwhich for one person.

    i dont think so.

    If i was at home for lunch for more than just me, it would be a darn site nicer than the wrap i take each day, with two lettuce leaves and a slice of cheap ham!

    I love this bit of the article

    'If people who are fit for employment, still haven’t managed to find a job after the intensive support provided by the Work Programme, we want them to do community work and get into the habit and routine of work.'

    Wonder what the intensive support is? LOL The WP is a joke!

    I think you'll find that 'a full sandwich' costs the same per person irrespective of how many you make! :T

    Easy to eat cheaper at home than at work if there is no fridge to put food in like you have at home - you will then have to go out to buy something for lunch
    Disabled people may be able to do certain job, just not all.

    How about you just stop moaning in the WORK forum and go and moan in the benefits forum or back in The Arms?

    With your attitude I am genuinely glad you'll be finding yourself doing something constructive when your turn comes at it, perhaps it will help you to get out of yourself.

    best idea I've heard in a long while. I've always thought there should be a programme like this. After all, if you're claiming JSA, you should be free to spend 30 hours plus per week working. About time people were made to do something useful, especially when you keep in miind this is after 2 years, so more for the long term unemployed, than someone having a run of bad luck!
