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

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.
