which post is it mate?

If it's that bad, maybe report it?

If it's the one I think it is, then the thread has been closed.

It wasn't so much that the OP was abused, but assumptions were made that they were a money grabbing, dole bludging, lying cheating so and so.

The OP then abused those making such assumptions.

All's fair, etc.

What's interesting is that a thread about an almost identical subject was started by another poster around the same time...and they weren't set upon by Pavlov's dogs!

I wonder what was different about the OPs???

Dreamy

I'd noticed that too!!

bcworld

I tell you...there is a pattern to it, it's happened a few times before...and it's rather obvious.

Did you ever see that program Location, Location, Location?

bcworld

Yup, it's very important...you better make sure you're in the right one!

To be fair that was fairly tame in comparrison to some. This happens sometimes cos some people get the wrong end of the stick

Anyway seems like everyone went back to sleep again

thanks guys

Ahh.. so to some people it's okay to enquire about perfectly legitimate benefits available once you're here, but it's seen as being a bludger if you ask about them (so you can be prepared?) before you arrive?

I'd rather know all the pros and cons on a 'just in case' basis before I committed to going somewhere. We knew we weren't entitled to owt on our temp visa, so it wasn't an issue

bcworld

No, that's not quite it.
