Mmmmmm a bit rather unnecesary to be critical of the man once he has got back on his feet considering the nature of his OP.

His OP made him sound like a (long term) benefits leech.

Perhaps, but if somebody is spending all their time seeking employment for a well paid role that they are qualified for, then I have no problem with them claiming the JSA. That's what it's there for surely (although my point is meandering the subject matter I guess and isn't necessarily based of the OP alone).

It's there to bridge a gap in employment, not to support a family for two years.

But the OP has unusual circumstances, so it isn't the same as if Dazza McChav was unemployed for the same period. He just didn't include any mention of it in the first post, so it was understandably misinterpreted.

I refuse to let this post get into a flame war!

The message is about hope, helping out others and discovering stuff about yourself!

I'd lay off those pills if you want to keep your new job.

Never had to resort to happy pills, probably should have, but too scared about getting back off them.

My happy pill is life right now!

Unfortunately, unemployment is still increasing.

Still no sign of the 'private' sector picking up the batton.

A poor standard of English is often a barrier to gainful employment.
