  Thank you Barry much appreciated - I'll talk to my brother first before sending you his CV.
  
  Gary: you could argue for any of those questions - he has had very senior and well paid jobs in the past, but since being back in the UK (about 2 years) he has struggled to get a job because most if not all employers have said that his overseas experience is not valid for the U.K.
  
  Having read the Archbishop's argument (and posted it on here) it makes a lot of sense, Ross's posting raises similar points.
  
  I think losing the will to work and losing any aspiration to better oneself through training and/or working is awful and there must be a way to bring that back.
  Maybe making people realise that sitting on your bum and waiting for your cheque or bank transfer to come through is not an option and retraining and finding work from that, must be the way - for us, our children and their children - better role-models.
  
  The trouble is though, that there must be jobs to go for, so creating an environment for employers to expand, not shrink, is a must.
  
  Just been announced on the 6.30 news that we are on the edge of a double-dip recession, so that won't help with finding work.
