The problem in this country is not people who find themselves with problems after working for x amount of years the problem is the hardcore unemployed, the wont work cant work brigade, these are the problem.
I would also suggest that you have no idea what is like to work 12 h ours a day 6 days a week and a few on Sunday to keep a famil when the other partner can not work and be constantly turned down for any help because you are working, but one gets on with it and works around family circumstances.

Ok if I misread some of your post I apologise but I certainly didn't misread that you think small business's would benefit from this scheme.
You woud be very wide of the mark to suggest I have never worked twelve hour days to keep my head above water whilst my husband was ill and unable to get any top up benefit to his incapacitiy benefit. The only difference to your situation being I was working for an employer who didn't pay minimum wages (before the laws were changed) so was working damned hard for a pittance and you are trying to keep your business going. Whilst I wish you every success please do not assume that I have not and am not struggling.
