that's just excuse making defeatist BS.

Wales is a huge country and has lots of bikers. & because just over 1 a day takes a tumble, you're dismissing it as a mode of transport to get to work.

Come on TD, you're making yourself unemployable with an attitude like that.
Do you think that Vlodik from Warsaw would say 'sorry boss, I can't take the job because I can't get here on time' or do you think he'd say 'is there somewhere secure that I can park my bike and can I start on Monday' ?

When you see those bunches of flowers on the A5, it seems like a far more frightening prospect believe me. I wouldn't even know where to start with a motorbike or where I would get the money to pay for one or the lessons. Is Wales a huge country? I guess I must have missed the memo about us invading somewhere- I don't think they count patagonia in that assesment.:rolleyes:

TBH, what I'm hearing is a series of excuses not to do something.

The one thing that helped me get a job quickly was a positive attitude, and willingness to be flexible.

I'm sorry but why the hell should DWP pay for driving lessons?
p.s my grandad is from Llandudno :beer:

Because I can't get a job without them. And yes they will pay for HGV but not the regular kind (believe me I have asked, again and again)

yeah but no but isnt going to get you a job, when I ready your OP I did have a little sympathy for you but as I read on it was like reading one of SP's posts, you are either his AE or on a wind up, if you really wanted a job you would have got one, so you have to get on 2 buses to retrain, so what ?? if it means doing it for a couple of years so it enables you to get into paid employment then you should be doing it, no ifs no buts

cough, ahem, cough

the link does go over 6 pages.

My area, rural Wiltshire, has over five pages of jobs, ranging from administrators to welders, cooks to labourers, accounts clerks to engineers. Pay scales are from minimum wage up to £30,000pa.

Plenty don't require a driving license. Buses between the villages are reasonable, if not brilliant.

I'm as flexible as I can be. The jobcentre are happy with what I have been doing and they are picky. Murphy, yes I know- I have looked at those jobs, and every one of them I can't do. It seems unlikely I know but it is true.
