I wonder if but it would be very easy to cause an on line voting site to crash making it impossible to vote.

A sister has done it several times. She contacted the Job Centre once the election was announced I believe. She's also done loads of casual summer work as a steward at air shows, concerts etc. I suppose you have to go looking for the opportunities. Rog OK, something I wouldn't mind doing myself, times are pretty hard at the moment. How did you go about getting your seasonal work in retail? I dropped a c.v. off in a number of shops ... one rang me for an interview. We've been doing christmas temp work (12 weeks each year) since 2007. I've done delivery driving for Somerfields (now closed down) stockroom at BHS, shop floor at B&M, and now my current post. Last year at B&M I was doing over 50 hours a week ... with my knee problem I couldn't manage that now, so have sought an easier job doing less hours. I have found if you are willing, cheerful, utterly reliable and prepared to graft, businesses love you and want you back year after year. Only minimum wage, and of course I get taxed as I have a pension ... but it puts some cash back into the boaty pot. To be honest ... we actually enjoy the interaction with people and it reminds us how lucky we are not HAVING to work the remaining 40 weeks of the year Rog

To be honest ... we actually enjoy the interaction with people and it reminds us how lucky we are not HAVING to work cut down a bit it's a bit like me. I don't have the financial need to work but I enjoy using my skills and working with people, I could do more with volunteering work but I prefer the crack in a good working environment. I also get brownie points that gets me free rides/crewing trips on lots of different types of boats It also keeps me physically and mentally active and maintaining a positive outlook on life. Sometimes it also takes over such a lump of my life that I have trouble doing everything else I want to .... but hey !!!

I have to go to work because God told me to murder prostitutes.

That makes us kind of colleagues seems I never actually left.

Good post. When I watched the election results it was amazing to see the dozens, or maybe hundreds of staff sat down putting bit of papers in boxes, or running around carrying boxes. Who are these people, where are the jobs advertised, how much do they get paid? It does very wasteful. Surely it wouldn't be beyond the realms to send a letter to each registered voter with a unique code and password on it, for voting on the internet? My wife works for our local council and she has been asked to do it a few times, both for local and general elections. And once my son becme old enough he did a couple as well. I used to go to 'the count' in Chester when I was younger.I then was an official at the count when I was available/older.Used to enjoy it.
