But do you remember when we all thought that Wimpey Burger Bars were the mutts nuts and our parents told us they were crap?

If it was anything like the one they made me go on a few years ago it was like the Wimpey Burger ~ Crap but attendance ensures the money continues to roll in.

Ketchup, mustard, mayo, pretty display item. redface:
If they are all still tomato coloured, are you not in danger of a nasty surprise?

That may be part of her plan. A bonkers plan, but a plan nonetheless.

They are all kept in different places. Mayo in the fridge door, mustard on the fridge top shelf, ketchup in the cupboard.

Alternatively check out the gunge round the nozzle ~ always the giveaway

"Ohh! ... Red, please." redface:

What was the course like, like?
Terrible - mixed bag of decent people and scum - twas the unduction day. Nearly kicked towards the end with 2 guys getting stroppy.
12 twelve weeks attendance - CV writing, interview techniques, role playing etc - I am not doing them. Still have to attend for 3 hours a week to look for work using same media etc a s I use at home!

Ketchup comes in a sachet - waitress service comes in Polish.

I got a sick note half way through the course and didn't have to attend anymore. By the time they came after me again I had been reclassified as "permanently disabled"
Had a row with the "instructor" on day one because I sat with my arms folded. He claimed I was being defensive ~ I told him he was a twat and should give up the amateur psychology.

This is all about targets. Jobcentre passes you on to a contracted company who then give you a personal action plan - will it make a difference? Doubt it very much.

This is true, but you must admit the unemployment rate among "Personal Action Planners" is very low.

Absolutely ~ when this barmey scheme first started the company I worked for had two of us investigate whether we could make money out of it by setting up a "Training Agency". We concluded yes but the board decided to take over another company instead.

Been there, done similar, got the scar.
Still, I suspect your attitude was less than positive.
