My closest workmate (who relies on me to get to work) seems to be taking the cut in hours, too well.. He's only 31, and seems to have no get up and go.

Our hours have been slashes last week. I've applied for over 50 jobs since then (hence the interview today)

He has applied for zero, saying 'it will pick up' iit's been slack since Nov)

So is it hope, or laziness?


Mate its a ****ing mindset,has to be. Not meaning any disrespect to your mate

I started working in a high school.in the late 90's and when we were about yo take in the next lot from primary I spent a few days getting to know the young uns at their primary school

So I asks these kids "what do you want to do when you grow up?". You'd be surprised how many said get a job down the mines

I was like wtf? There hasnt been a mine open for ****ing 20 odd years around here. Or a pot bank and your dads a have had to retrain and take other work or sign on etc

Its madness

Thailand has nothing to do with this mate. I just see people don't want to work,

People i like, and then they complain about money, that saddens me

I hear you mate.

Its a strange one. With my kids I guess I'm at fault as I provide and if they play their cards right they won't need mortgages etc as they will have a house, even if they sell it to go.elsewhere its a step up

But living in stoke I see a sense of resignation that has appeared in people over the years and I suppose Sunderland has had similar experience where people could walk from one job to.another bug have had generations on the dole getting by
