    Why on earth would the mods on here remove my post offering to buy the job centre staff a drink?

    Since it's been removed relatively quickly I can only assume that they haven't read the other posts by the OP.

    Personally I wish people would stop responding to the OP full stop.

    To be honest, it was only a matter of time. I'm just surprised it took so long!

    Maybe now's the time to drop your TV package and switch to free FreeView like millions of other people?

    Sorry but that statement about hours are not true, I applied for some positions about Jobs without state hours and adviser looked up Jobs where I applied for and some of them doesn't state hours, any way, he told me on Friday, why have I applied for Jobs that doesn't state hours? he said, what if buses don't run during work hours? and I got told by him, I need to be realistic when I am applying for Jobs.

    This is what you said in the other thread,

    "also some don't state hours of times, can't apply for Jobs if don't state times because how an earth would I know if I can get to work in time? or if they any buses available during work hours."

    So you can't but you did, yeah right. Adding information to bolster your argument when the majority of people disagree with you never looks good, just give up.
    It's someone else's fault.

    So, I filled in a application for hardship which I posted today which is better then nothing.

    The best thing is my housing benefit won't be affected as I called in Contact Burnley and got told my housing benefit will run as normal but need to bring in bank statements, that's the main thing as I don't want to end up homeless due to Job Centre thanks to them I lost my main Job Seekers because my advisor doesn't believe a word about applying for Jobs, I even bring in proof and he said I am not actively looking for work, well I had a interview this afternoon and the manager is going to contact me in the next few days if I am successful or not and I only applied for that Job on Friday.


    If that is not Job Seeking then I don't know what is!!!

    Anyone that has been unemployed for three years has little intention of getting a job. I personally think that job seekers allowance should only be allowed to be claimed for 1 year maximum!

    You wouldnt be saying that when your taxes rise and when prices go up due to the increase in crime.

    Many countries time limit availability to benefits, and what effect does it have on the crime rate? Zip, not a bit. Time limiting benefits acts as an incentive to find work, not some ridiculous justification to commit crime.

    Then why are there always job vacancies, including many thousands that anyone could do?
