No Chuggers
Feb. 6th, 2015 03:34 pmWell folks, done the Ashford visit but bit of a wasted journey as the chuggers (slang for charity fundraisers or muggers) were not around anywhere despite the fact I remained in the town for at least thirty minutes. Still get paid, of course, for the observation job but not as much as it would have been if I had spotted them and interacted with one about doing a donation to the charity. C'est la vie!
So currently in the Office planning out my trips for the days ahead.

Today, work and pensions minister, Esther McVey, will be grilled by a parliamentary committee on the increased use of benefit sanctions. I wonder if she will be 'reduced to tears' as so many benefit claimants are. Is this really England?
And a link about "as a jobcentre adviser, I got ‘brownie points’ for cruelty"
