    Phil, at the very least you are still contributing to society by paying taxes.

    Yes, a house I won't be able to afford to live in without a good job.

    with no mortgage :rolleyes:

    how much could it cost?

    and you'd probably get help

    oh, so the people that work there first hand through the week are school kids, are they?

    you're such an idiot.

    No, but I couldn't work there through the week as I have another job and honestly does Tesco have a good career structure for staff?

    Maybe we have, but I have tried and I do work hard but no openings are coming good for me. I thought hard work was mean't to improve your chances and career, but it doesn't seem to for me.

    then go somewhere else!

    Let's see, council tax is £100 plus a month, house insurance is hundreds of pounds a year, then water, gas, phone-- I don't think 400 ish quid a month would cover it all.

    But that's the whole thing, I have no skills to offer another job and that is why I can't get another.
