get this. My mate is on the dole in Holland and him and his girl are going to Greece. This is through her work and my mate may actually have a chance of getting to meet some people there for a potential job. So he calls the dole here because he had an appointment with them to tell them he can't make that appointment on the grounds of going out country for an interview. Firstly, before he told them the guy on the phone he was hit with, "well you better have a good excuse!", lol. And then when he told the guy he was advised that his benefit will be stopped. So this women phones him up to assess if his benefit will be stopped, and told him it would be as he's not available for work. However, under the Dutch system he get 20 days holiday allowance, lol. So the women said, well if you tell us you are going on holiday, we won't stop your money. So that's what he did. He just said, "okay, forget everything I said, I am going on holiday". And the women was cool about it....ffs, systems mad!
