[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 297219, member: 1408"] On the subject of Job Centre experiences , I had some similar to those quoted above. Around 20 years ago I was employed doing supervising and estimating , firm goes bust ( not due to my estimating) . At the Job Centre I saw similar things to those quoted above , blokes covered in plaster dust , blokes with compo encrusted work boots, a plumber complete with van adorned with copper pipes and apart from them I was the only ethnic Englishman in the place ( OK it is B,ham I 'spose) . A 12 year old lad inspects the form I filled in and says I may not be entitled to benefits as I may not have enough NI contributions . After putting him right on that count and carefully avoiding the issue of how long all these other guys have been paying NI I ask if there is a list of vacancies . Not in your trade I was told , just the ones on that board. They were all for part time catering/bar staff/cleaners experience required. So I was given £48.00 per week for a couple of weeks. I was then offered 2 weeks work by another spark on a school shutdown job in Wolverhampton. So I tell the Centre I can't sign on for 2 weeks... I'm working . They say well we shall stop your benefit then!!!! I say please do , I shall be earning around £1400 for the 2 weeks , I don't expect any benefit. Three days later I receive a letter from the Benefit Service ...We have been informed that you are fully employed and have removed you from the system ...or words to that effect . At this point I delared myself self employed :C Couldn't stand it anymore. [/QUOTE]
