This one aint gonna be easy. Some may even turn against me. Lets see. After many a year on here and elsewhere we have a craic. But very often threads crop up about benefits (or lack of them). Unemployment is also a big issue. There's no jobs. I read this often Really. But what does it take to keep a releationiship, a marriage,a family? It takes love, trust and money. Many are gonna disagree with that last word. . You love your wife,your family. Everyday i see posts by Welder, Home and Away etc. All working away, from their families, for the good of the family.. So why dont more do it? Without digging to far (ive already dug it deep enuff) why dont more people (inc. this board) go of and do this. Instead of conplaining about benefits, cuts, ****ing goverments etc?) Im sure this is going to annoy and upset some folks. I apologise for that. But for one brief spell coming back to sunderland, i have never seen a job centre. I dont understand fully. For me there is always a job, somewhere. If you want one that is. Cue the abuse I just dont get it.
There's different types of people that exist in this world. That's the simple answer. Some people will go to extreme lengths to prove that this world owes them a living, sometimes they'll work at a low output and complain, like the ****ers I used to work with, or sometimes they'll just sit at home, putting the world to rights and claiming they're not getting enough from the gov't despite never lifting a finger. Then you have people who can't work, often confused with those who won't work. Individually, everybody who won't work will give you a reason why they can't work. There's the problem and where the system falls down. Where there is an option to take the path of least resistance, people will take that option. The fat person who thinks they deserve everything on a plate (excuse the pun) will tell you they'll go dizzy if they have to operate machinery on a building site and could kill somebody... the fact is, they won't, they're just thinking of every excuse to not be outside, on the cold, wet building site. That's how I see it.
Also, just like to add, there's plenty of people who can't get jobs who want jobs out there. Some people are just unemployable, many people in fact... not clinically unemployable, but '****ing hell' unemployable.
Ok Tel. Thanks for that. I was half expecting a tirade of abuse. I already admitted i dont understand. From leaving school i have worked. Where ever it may be. Are folks so relucant to get the money and spend time away?
I've worked all my life in two jobs The first job I worked all year round outside on top of houses freezing cold. Lifting heavy materials etc etc dirty environment low pay. My second job was mostly INSIDE not very good conditions Nights and many days way from home.difficult situations. A little better pay. I'm now not in good health with back problems.definately caused through my First job. Im currently on the sick only just since yesterday but have work through the the pain barrier for two years. I see many people in the pubs and clubs drinking every day and this has happened for 48 years that I know.there is many jobs out there available for people.unfortunalely they are not high enough wages for some people. Most think it's not worth working for low wages and some say they will not work nights or shift work.i think these people want to pick and chose there jobs. It's more difficult for educated people who have been to university and gained degrees to get there chosen career. Sometimes you have to work in any job available at the time. I changed jobs for money reasons as at the time my pay was bad. There is jobs out there but may be some people have to take a compromise Just my opinion
I can't talk for them mate, I've never been unemployed. Many people want jobs but it's a tough market, if I was in that boat, I'd always try to find something else, a bit less well paid, less skilled, but then you get told you're over qualified... each individual circumstance is different mate.
But how far would you go? Does it have to be within 30/40 mins? What about leaving your new wife and going to get a job where you may not sed her for 2/3 months. Could you do that?
I joined the military with a long term girlfriend, so yeah, I could. I don't have to though and I don't want to, so I don't. I wish I could get home in 30/40 mins from my office

Thats better. You didnt **** that one up. What did you go and do and how far away from family? Yes i am a nosey ****.
The transport routes here are ****! I couldn't sit at home, it would ruin me. I need to be active and busy.
I used to work 9 months of the year on long hours and six or seven days a week and then have the three summer months off on the lash. Didn't claim benefit but signed on to keep my N.i. Contributions right. Had an agreement with the Nash that you leave me alone, I will leave you alone and sort graft out again in September. Had a good few years doing this when contracting AND single. Can't recall ever getting any benefits at all. I was shocked mind by how much some people do get. I can understand why the govt are trying to cut benefits but it's a logistical nightmare.
I would love to get away and work from home, I'd probably not come back, in all honesty. I'm an office worker and certainly not a manual worker so finding work abroad is extremely difficult. My way of getting abroad to live is to save the money and hopefully retire abroad, would love to do it sooner as I make no secret that I've got no love for England any more.
Moved into digs with 2 old ladies (never want to see frozen mix veg again in my life) Only about 20 miles away, but 7.30 starts and at 16 only buses to get me there, plus it was the company's policy
