Jeez...

That sounds about the same hourly as I was getting when I was a School Technician three years ago - and I don't think it has gone up much since. With the Technology technician's job, I needed to be able to work with timber, metal and electronics while getting lumbered with all sorts of other work (including keeping kids in order when cover teachers were late - or didn't turn up). That's not to mention maintaining tools and equipment - including lathes, CNC machines and anything else that they decided I should repair because the caretakers were "too busy"!

While I was signing on, I was obliged to apply for any job that I could do. You wouldn't believe what some firms expected for the Minimum Wage (or less!). While I am still unemployed (but no longer signing on), I am looking for a job I would like to do and can exclude tele-sales and ones where the wages don't cover the cost of the car needed to get there (no suitable buses).

A friend's son had to go on "The Work Programme" (as everyone has to after four months) and is working at a well known "catalogue shop" for 25hrs a week. He gets the basic dole (in his case, somewhere around £50pw) and has to pay his travel costs (a 35mile daily commute) and had to buy a correct jumper and safety gear out of his dole!

I was glad some of Mother's legacy came through the day before I was going to have to go on TWP. The DWP lady was a bit surprised - I was still entitled to the £70pw allowance! OK, the Council Tax was discounted and paid by the DWP, but you still need the phone, electricity and water (the fixed costs were about £180 a month). If I hadn't written off the old Golf and got the insurance payout after Mother died, I would have been in real trouble. I had borrowed the money for the "new" Golf from Mother and had intended paying part of the loan back with the insurance money. If she'd died a fortnight later things would have been really dire (as if living on cheap white bread and marmalade isn't!)

It's well above minimum wage and probably the only part time job that is these days. Or rather it was. In 1998 when that advert was placed!

Ah right, run by one of Dave "Chuckles" Charlton's old firm, that explains a lot!

Charlton himself has just been through the mill at the hands of HMRC and this time, it looks like they'll get the twisted **** sent down at last.

More about this shower of sheisters is available at the offclubten victims' forum, an invitation only site for anyone who's experienced the Furb DC/Sizecheck brand of abuse at first hand.
Two of the faces are currently serving bans as directors so this should make interesting viewing on a more widespread basis.

Hands up who thought Cramlient was a boring place?
