The voucher thing was tried, you use to get vouchers for clothes and furniture from the dole it was like a provident cheque thing, one of the pubs I worked in would swop the vouchers at half there value for drink and fags behind the counter then sell the vouchers on. They also use to take milk tokens that were given by the dole for there kids:thumbdown: I never worked there long it was a horrible place.

That would have been easier, i knew guys that got community service one had to do 100 hours working in the local swimming pool

i think it was the government that paid the wages was it not? ( i may be wrong) i remember back then it just felt like a scam to bring the dole figures down. you had lots of yts lads doing menial tasks that were never going to end up in full time employment. They would have been better to pay for an apprenticship and commit to one person for the 4 years. But im sure it worked out for some employers and employees alike.

i done mine in a workcamp (well a government sponsered workshop) building kitchen units and going out to fit them, also done shop fitting but we would arrive with about 20 of us and a couple of joiners and finish it in a day, thinking back it must have killed the local shopfitters work. i never got the chance to get kept on i done my year then out.

Excellent

i was a yts as a joiner, £25 a week. i liked the job but i think that scheme was the death of apprenticeships in the country as an employer would not take on an apprentice when they could have slave labour instead. Well thats what i found when i tried to get an apprenticeship after the scheme finished.

im half way through it, its an interesting read i find his style of writing quite strange its like he has told the story and they have written it word for word as he speaks, there is no denying his mind set to be succesfull and he discovered it at an early age so i find that subject very intriguing , all in all its worth the read Mark
