Funnily enough, I found out Lord Gnome had worked there 15 years before, and had been dismissed for exactly the same reason.

Ah, bugger
Still, the dole office (if you're stuck doing that) won't look down on you; everybody's losing their jobs these days.

Funny you should say that.
After about two months on the dole, my benefits were abruptly cut off (because I'd not applied for a job I hadn't even been aware of), but as I'd started full-time work again on the day I got that letter, much of the sting was removed.

It's a good thing I'm not a pensioner, or else they'd have probably sent a gang of lads round to beat me up.

They don't even check in an office down here, if you've applied
I'm not entitled to a penny now.
