Throughout the planning process, Tesco said the store would create 450 jobs and later pledged to target long-term unemployed Hyndburn residents for half these posts.

and .. what happens ...

Jobs have been given to 64 people classed as long-term unemployed, while a further 127 people have been recruited to work in the £32 million Eagle Street store.

Of those, 44 were Tesco employees transferred from the Nelson store which closed this summer.

now surely tesco should be good at maths .. seeing as they have to add up all the shopping we are going to buy ... and that should be 86 people long term unemployed ... rather than 64 ...
have just realised something my maths are off as well ... the excuse being it was 00.36 when i posted it .. and i only got CSE grade 3 in maths ... and i dont have to add up too often ... so that last bit should read ...

now surely tesco should be good at maths .. seeing as they have to add up all the shopping we are going to buy .. and that should be 96 people long term unemployed ... rather than 64 ... (half of 191 is 95 1/2 and you cant have half a person can you? )

sorry folks .. though im surprised no one else picked up on it .... but then if im in the wrong i will admit it .. rather than other people i could mention ....
