[Margaret Pilkington]

I have only drawn dole once in my life and it was through the winter of discontent when there were power cuts....and weavers were laid off (though we had full order books).
I have never been unemployed, I have always figured it is easier to get a job when you have a job....so I have taken work that was not to my taste, as a stop gap, and to keep the wolf from the door, until I could find something that did suit me.
This to me makes good economic sense....or am I wrong in believing that too.
