sorry to off topic again but,
so,who are the actual people on the dole then (2.5 million ish ?) ?

is it that the indigenous population - the british don't want these jobs ?

do they automatically get higher paid jobs because they are not 'immigrants' from eastern europe ?

or are the british peolpe quite happy to be on the dole and 'milk' the benefit system where they are better off ?

i'm not taking the p**s,just asking out of pure ignorance

Yes and you have chosen to jump on all of them and ignored 99.9% of my other posts. Two threads out of 100's of others. You're getting paranoid and that's fine with me.

Political question, I guess; you could give plenty of different answers. One big one is that the jobs are often in different places from where the unemployed are and there are all kinds of reasons why people can't easily relocate (cost of housing being one.)

For the jobs picking veg in the fields in the fens, the British don't want these jobs. If you're a young East European and don't mind spending a few months living in a caravan with half a dozen mates so you can save up enough to buy a house when you go home, then it makes perfect sense. Not so, if you're a middle aged, recently redundant Briton with a family & mortgage to pay.

For the jobs I interview people for, paying £30-60k, we don't get any British applicants because there are almost no British people graduating with degrees in electronics and that's been the case for 10+ years.

Best stadium to watch SL, without a doubt. Massive difference from the Boulevard - certainly wouldn't have taken the kids to a game there.

There are plenty of British unemployed would love to do these jobs, the issue is that they only last for a few weeks and they are back signing on, the way the system works makes it bloody hard to sign off for a few weeks work then sign on again without any agrro.

Well make sure there's a bouncy castle for you next time

1 bar , + a hotel bar , + Leigh East bar 300 yards away , + Robin Hood pub opposite car park

Unfortunatley you being from Hull wouldn't know the short cut from the car park

Then again I'd be in the same position at the KC

The crowds so far have been at least as good as expected the LSV being the best all things considered.

Exactly mate, there's a cracking article on this here, written by a certain VT regular: www.internationalrugbyleague.net/fansblog.htm

Don't honestly know now mate, but i am pretty sure i have seen it wrote down somewhere as 12,500, the official website may not have been updated though.

that being the case, there weren't 10,377 people there yesterday

There looked a lot of empty seats to me
