Yeah, longer trains wouldn't fit in the stations.

we should make them taller instead, like double decker buses.

We just had a new station built nearby with longer platforms because the previous one (which was pretty bloody long) couldn't accommodate current train lengths. Get off of carriage eight at the old station and you'd face plant into a bush, then roll down a fairly steep hill.

Hello

I am unemployed atm and now I have to go to the job centre every day for half an hour so they can presumably supervise my internet job searches. Essentially they're taking 1.5-2 hours out of my day to travel there and back which could be better spent looking for jobs

Also they've changed the sign on thing to an electronic tablet which never works and you have to do it several times, streamlining nothing :doh:

I don't like being benefit scum :(

Being unemployed and at the whim of the job centre is the worst, hope you find something soon!

I signed on for a few weeks earlier this year, they were changing to the electronic pad and holy poo poo it was bad. It didn't work once. (not even on the session they told me I had to go to in order to be set up on it, ahead of my actual appointment...)

This was pretty much the catalyst for me going self-employed and starting up my company though so I guess it was useful, sort of?

I was on the dole once. It was a little paper booklet you had to fill out with vaguities about your job search. I was looking at getting similar work to what I had before, but it's not a particularly common job in the UK, so I was writing things 'checked newspaper, nothing suitable'. Never a hitch, always got paid. Popped in every fortnight with (iirc it was a few years ago now) 10 jobsearch records in the 2cm by 4cm box for 'details'

They didn't seem to know what to do with me. Eventually they asked me to come in one extra morning for interview skills training. I conducted interviews at my last job, but still I had to go. There was me and about 8 yoofs, and it had a League of Gentlemen Pauline ring about it. Everyone knew that when you say 'I can do XYZ' you should have an example, but only me and one other guy seemed to understand that by answering we would all be out of there faster, rather than responding with bored silent detatchment.

Anyway it all turned out to be a ploy to get us jobs by honing our competency-based interview skills. Pointlessly, I might add. The Job Centre (or at least the council) had taken a huge chunk of cash from Morrisson's, who were opening a supermarket nearby. Our evidencing of competency was pitched a little high for the trolly trackers, shelf stackers, and checkout slackers that they were paying the Job Centre to funnel us towards

people become unemployed by being lazy and if they weren't made to go and sign on every day or do work for free they would only sit around coveting brightly coloured tracksuits and argos jewellery all day

Oh I forgot the part where banked and spent jobseekers retroactively became taxable income after I went and found a job in a neighboring county because the 'employment advisors' were poo poo where I lived.
