I had an interview to go to, it was a good job, doing my trade, I took the letter to the job centre hoping for expenses.
No sorry they said can't help you, you're interview is abroad.
Yes said I, but it's in the European market, I thought I'd be helped.
No, we'll help within the UK bit not abroad.
OK I replied, if you won't help, I'll find the money somewhere and go anyway.

Well if you do you'll have to sign off jobseekers, you won't be classed as available for work.
I asked various other questions and found that I wasn't allowed abroad for any reason, holidays, (I wish), or anything, without first signing off.
It had seemed a good job, I wonder who got it?

That's always been the case Less, if your out of the country you can't claim dole, but it does seem a nonsense when you were in Europe looking for work, its another case of Jobsworth
