The job sounded OK but the pay was shite. Mainly the hours were on rotating shifts, earliest start 7am, latest finish 7pm. 7 day week.

On doing research on bus routes it would have not been possible to make weekend early starts. In fact weekdays would have been pushing it.

I am not averse to early starts but it would just not have been possible.

I was going to go anyway for the interview experience and maybe a confidence boost if they offered it to me as I could have sneered at them and told them to fvck off. But I decided it wasnt worth it in the end.

Also, I had a call from our local NHS HR dept this morning that was encouraging.

Thanks for that.

Why would working for the NHS make me a 'parasite'?

They are after electricians in here. I was behind a company van approaching a roundabout this evening. In the rear window was an advert with a phone number and the message "Electrical vaccantcys"

I assume you flagged them down and explained the error, which might put off the hoards of applicants?

I once got a torrent of abuse from a smallholder when I stopped and helpfully pointed out that he may be losing passing trade with his blackboard offering "Cabag Plats".

Ooh, I like Cabag Plats. Does he still sell them?

No, he had an accident with a chainsaw.
