Now that could explain a lot! On that basis Cashmans nephew and the others wouldn't have a chance.
That's one sharp company-ending up with the workers almost paying you to work for you! It stinks but it won't be illegal- just a caring company helping its new workers find accommodation.
You're right, cashman, 'Ignorance is Bliss', our generation were very lucky on the whole- jobs were easy to find and often for life. I came close a couple of times but scraped through. I don't know how I'd have coped with seeing all the things I'd worked for melt away.
But the questions I raised still stand, if you put on one side the behaviour of companies like Express.
Edit- hadn't seen cashmans last post when I did this one.
