    Do people still get giros in the post?

    Back in the 90s, after I was made redundant from an automotive firm in Hertfordshire, I signed on the dole for a while. I think I used to get about £40 a week, which paid for a day's drinking. I'd received a decent redundancy payment, but I blew most of it on a long trip to Iceland.

    Never claimed dole/benefits .

    Only time unemployed was when I was made redundant … on say I was about to hand my notice in !

    Had a start date for new role , so had a nice 6 weeks off with my redundancy cash.

    Maybe Trevor Phillips had a point when he said the measures that were put in place a few decades back made the situation worse. :emoticon-0126-nerd:

    98.8% of teachers in Wales are White

    It's clearly racist that it's not 100%
