well all i can say is what a load of tosh.
i've been made redundant twice in two years (without redundancy pay). do ithink its been good for the soul? do i hell!
in the last two months of unemployment i have done everything in my power to get back to work to no avail. I have been in contact with over 300 coach companies plus the many other related vacancies i have found on the net/jobcenter and had how many redponses? THREE.
no-one is hiring and those vacancies that are there aren't responding
I am worn out, I feel degraded having to attend the job center Every fortnight to claim my pittance of dole money. I cant support my family,
My home is being reposessed and I am in debt up to my eyeballs because tger aint enough coming in to pay the bills.
I have been through every channel to look at the opportunity to retrain or go back to college and I am getting nowhere. College courses dont start untill september so I have to either stay unemployed untill then (which I do not want to do) or dind a job (ha ha) and pay for the course myself come september (which I cant afford).

good for the soul - I think not. I have never felt so low in my life and personally I cant see things getting any better.

They used to say a public flogging was good for the soul, and after a comment like that i think it would be good for mine to see this guy get one.
