why did you think all that happened?

Based on how he reacted it should have been

He would have to be told to sit in the chair and then you point at the chair you require him to sit in.

Re: Unpaid workschemes are illegal

My apologies - I misread "take a chair" for "take the chair" ("take the chair is a colloquialism for running a meeting (being the chairperson)).

Just leave it as "take a chair"
it doesn't work now with "take a seat" and Hugh will just more confused than he is already :)

That woman you loosened up with later on. didn't she have chance to pop home and get changed out of her work clothes before the interview?

Like Cait Reilly, I learned one thing from stacking shelves and packing boxes: jobs like these are only worth doing for money

Quote:

On the BBC's Andrew Marr Show, Iain Duncan Smith suggested that many "smart people" overlooked the importance of effective shelf-stacking.

Quote:

"The next time somebody goes in - those smart people who say there's something wrong with this - they go into their supermarket, ask themselves this simple question, when they can't find the food they want on the shelves, who is more important - them, the geologist, or the person who stacked the shelves?"

Quote:

Mr Duncan Smith argued that "most young people love" their work experience placements.

Quote:

The scheme had been launched to help young people trapped in a vicious circle where they could not get a job because they did not have any experience on their CVs, he said.

I agree, but someone has to do it. I think that people on the dole should be asked to clean up litter or remove graffiti, something like that (part time). Give back to society while they are looking for a better job......
That would get people like Anjem Choudary to stop sponging from us for a start.....
