Good morning :thumb:

 

Yesterday was a great success, it was their first bike meet, and over the course of the afternoon well over a hundred bikers came.

 

Some really nice looking machines too.

My good lady’s daughters bought her a voucher for a local hotel. We (she?) chose to go for afternoon tea. My word it was posh. We’re now really quite stuffed and will be foregoing tea.

That looks like the kind of setup Chuck and Camila would be used to lol.

Cheers

It’s something I wouldn’t mind getting used to but not at the price - just pleased someone else paid.

Good Morning :classic_biggrin:

 

So, having heard nothing since my on line application weeks ago I went to the jobcentre the other day!

the place was swarming with security guards and people with clipboards, after proving my identity (twice)

I got told I was in the wrong place , given a phone number to ring, and sent on my way. I phoned the number when I got home,

waited over 40 minutes for someone to answer and eventually got to speak to a person.

yesterday I got a very abrupt text telling me that I must attend an interview today! and provide the same ID again.

 

Guess where? Yep, the same place I went the other day! :scratch: to be told I was in the wrong place! :classic_biggrin:

Oh dear. It wasn’t quite so bad when I was unemployed ten years ago. Perhaps it’s a government initiative to show fewer people registering unemployed 🤷🤔

I'm sure the job centre's were all out on strike recently asking for a pay rise I don't think it's yet resolved. Sounds like they are worth every penny 🤣 anything. Gov.uk related runs of burocracy and chaos I'm afraid. I'm sure the employees have long since given up and just put their pants on their heads  and pencils up their noses

I've been! I've cancelled my claim for JSA! I don't need the NI contributions and I can't be bothered jumping through all the hoops for a paltry amount which would then be even further reduced because of my Army pension :scratch:

 

I'll go again if/when I need to but for now I just CBA!

 

I really don't like the idea of having to prove that I'm going for jobs by showing them my phone/e-mails etc!
