Thanks to the 'China Effect' (huge increase in world shipping trade due to the booming economy) I enjoyed a 23.40% pay increase last year. Projected this year 27.50%

I have just been informed that I will get Jobseekers Allowance - £60.50 per week, but only until November, something to do with my NI contributions. Got no idea how all this is calculated.
