    Where are all the unemployed people?

    Not in all cases. I am desperate for a job, I was made redundant in 2007 after 27 years of continuous work. I have applied for loads of jobs basically anything from about 60% less than I used to earn. I have taken a night shift job with Royal Mail until Christmas in one of their data centres...

    Penalty charge notice in england

    I arranged to meet someone to discuss a course so we met at a McDonald's near the M1, he was running late which wasn't a problem - so I thought. I had a coffee inside and then we had another coffee. A couple of days later I got a parking fine for overstaying, there is apparently a 2 hour...

    Experience needed - Free help

    I hope this isn't against the rules, but I am desperately looking for work but I don't seem to be having any sucess. On Friday I received a negative response within 1 minute of submitting my application via the Reed website - surely not enough time for someone to even open my CV. I was made...

    Web purchases: how long for delivery?

    I am pleased to see I do not have unacceptable delivery expectations :D I have recently bought items from Amazon and one book took 10 days and a print cartridge was about the same, I ordered a micro SD card which was cancelled by the seller but they failed to inform me. I won't be using...

    Most press releases are written by someone else. Still think it is an odd way to post about yourself.

    Taking on new staff

    Apparently that is the going rate, I applied for a job the other week got an interview only to find there were another 11 people out of the 75 who applied, we all had a few numeracy type tests to do and all had exactly a 10 minute interview. There are a lot of us looking for work at the...

    Post office Travel Insurance

    That's hardly the fault of the Post Office now is it :rolleyes: And surely your friend could have found a convenient time to call within the 14 days you have the right to cancel. [SIZE=2]

    Which bit do you hate?

    probably not as much as the homes you are delivering to :D I get the same old pizza and takeaway leaflets week after week, they go straight in the bin.
