Employment confusion

[andrewducker]

When I was unemployed for about 18 months back in 1994-95 (just after graduating), I was sent on a few training courses, and put into unpaid work placements. Is this actually different to what's currently being proposed?

I'm not trying to snark - I'm actively confused as to whether this is in any way a new thing.

I am sorry. I completely misunderstood what you were saying. You sound very courageous, and I admire it. Good luck with it.

Not at all, Sir. Your initial response was entirely reasonable, though I thank you for your kind words.
I have a terrible habit of saying what I think I mean, rather than what I actually mean.
