I’ve been for jobs in recent weeks where they wouldn’t give you the wages over the 'phone and wonder why you get stroppy and end the interview when you find they offer NMW or close to 
. One of them I submitted an invoice to for fuel and lost time (although I wasn’t workig that day anyway 
). I doubt I’ll get paid, but it made me feel better anyway . I’d sooner have a couple of days agency and get something decent . At least they were up front about it in that ad and didn’t cost anyone anything 
.
Why are you looking for permanent work over here when you said only a few months back that you were definitely leaving for New Zealand in February. How come you’re still here ?
Things change.
When are you going ?
FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE I’m not.
Have you bought your tickets yet ?
No
Looking forward to reading about your new life over there 
.
Tough .
Back on topic .

I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, the best/good paying jobs are never advertised and usually go by word of mouth.
i have been applying for jobs recently but not advertised. i went for the off chance option and came up with bugger all. in fact, one of them cant keep their current drivers on the road. one of their wagons is parked up til they can find something to deliver in it

All firms that advertise these jobs at these prices are doing so knowing that they will only get desparate drivers who cant get anywhere better, & you have to feel sorry for anyone who who applies for them. Also i have been told by a friend who works for the job center that haulage firms who advertise at the lowest pay rates know that not many drivers if any will go for the job, giving the haulage firm the right to say WE cant get UK drivers to work here so WE HAVE to employ a migrant driver who will.
This sounds more like it, pay peanuts get monkeys, and no doubt they will be paying them with Lidl’s peanuts at minimum wage. Is this how we are competing with European companies now?
