Oh and also Sheffsal, in response to your second post. I am a tax payer and I for one also pay tax on 2 jobs. So dont judge everyone who is merely passing comment on this subject and certainly do not tarnish everyone with the same brush. The reason why I have been referred to A4e before in the past is because I was made redundant and therefore qualified for help and assistance straight away. This was only a 2 day thing and I was in out quicker than I was able to sign the 100 forms they give you. I am more than aware that they do help some epople into finding work, although there is just as many that cannot and will not be helped. So once again, rather than moaning about being a tax payer of 2 jobs, remember that your not the only person out there who need to do that to make ends meet and to keep a roof over your head.

Jesus chill out like. The reason why Sheffield has allowed people to post their comments on here is because it is a public forum where individuals are entitled to post their "OPINION" on an issue or subject that they feel strongly about. If that is the way they feel about this person regardless of whether you class this as "SLANDER" or not, then surely they are entitled have their say and put their own point across however they like. Who are you to tell them that they are wrong. Freedom of speech and all that. The last time I checked I was living in a free country where individuals were allowed to make up their own mind, without being judged or pressured into thinking a certain way. get off your high horse mind you dont fall off your soap box on the way down.

This I like the sound of, and then they can let the bolt go that holds the wheel in place and just let roll to wherever it needs to be, woop woop woop. I would pay really good money for that :thumbsup:

lol, well there you go lol. Although you can bet that the funding will suddenly unexpectedly appear wont it? Funny how the power of someone in government can have a massive effect on an issue, especially if it directly affects them. Tut, disgraceful :roll:

Nice one. I like BEST training because they actually listen to what people want. I have a few friends who work for them, one being the business manager in Leeds. The nickname also sounds quite fitting. I just think its ridiculous that the government are Monopolising with providers because A4e have just won the bid to take over Direct Payment clients as well. So maybe soon Emma will be running for Prime Minister because it certainly seems a little bit like domination of the UK. Cant go anywhere these days without something cropping up with regards to A4e. Hmmmmmmmmmm think I might just move to Cambodia or something lol.

wow excellent. I can only imagine just how nice it would have been being stuck at work all day. Still I managed to soak up a little of that glorious hot stuff :hihi: :P:P :thumbsup:

Went to the cinema to see The Wolfman. Thought it was excellent. As with all films there were a few rocky moments in it where the acting seemed a little garbage, but overall excellent. Benicio Del Torro was superb. Anthony Hopkins I was seriously dissapointed with. Still worth going to see though.

OMG I sat and watched this with my partner. Crickey. I had an idea as to the plot to the film but I never in a million years thought it would be like this. " grown men sat and cried constantly all the way through. lol. ANyone would think we were gay or something pmsl

Well Well Well. What a long time waited eh? It was absolute bliis being able to walk out fo work today on my lunch and actually not have to take my coat. How wonderful for it to feel a little bit like spring with the sunshine. Woop Woop Woop :banana: :clap: :wow:

Its really weird actually because it was only last night I was camping out, quite literally in Ecclesall Woods and I heard these funny noises too. When I flicked my little pink torch on to go and investigate the noises suddenly stopped. I then flicked off my torch to go back to sleep and it started again. On closer inspection, I realised that it was me who kept waking myself up snoring. My bad, but maybe you should set up a voice recorder or even better still stick a peg on your nose.

I fr one would like to add that jealousy does not play a part on my behalf also. I had never even heard of this woman until I was sent to A4e and was told to maybe read her daily blog, thats when a slight fascination came into play and decided to do some searching the net for her. I for one am not from sheffield so therefore she aint a local person to me. I whole heartedly agree with what you are saying with regards tot hose who are willing to try and gain the qualifications that can only make the job prospects greater than they already were. In am merely commenting on the assistance that is available to Graduate students. Having walked out of Uni with an excellent grade in my chosen subject, I was then sent here to aid my search for work. Everyone was spoken too in eactly the same way, undermining, patronising and belittling. I have had a high standard of education and needed someone too assist me with bettering my job searching skills, not to teach me the importance of Self Esteem, Confidence Building and Team Work. These things I already although after my 2 weeks stint, I feel that they had been shattered as I felt like I was back in Nursery. I know that in those kind of situations you can only work as quickly as the slowest person in your group, but even when issues were raised these fell upon deaf ears. Also never even heard of CTS or WYSE. Just for the record.

I can applaud you for your post Pony. Makes me laugh that a forum is created for open discussions, then when someone airs their own views and opinions, they are quickly shot down and told they are in the wrong. Hmmmmmmmmmmm Feels like a nazi nation being interogated by the Gestapo. Wonderful.

yes Spyke all of this all fine and well, I aint disagreeing with anything that anyone has put, I am merely airing my opinion on hjow that awful place is ran. Yes she may have built the business from nothingness, with or without a golden goose, I am more interested in the fact that people are pressured into working somewhere so that targets are achieved. I was mainly aiming my criticisms at the company and the staff there from personal experience. Although I do not like Emma, good for her for making a success out the business that has brought her so much fortune. Obviously, if I was in her position then I would be feeling extremely thankful. yes I have said things about her, but that is because of her lack of empathy towards the people who are actually giving A4e the profits it is making. As long as bums are on seats and the moneys are rolling in, then thats all that matters. not whether people are actually matched to jobs they want to do.

Oh right of course, yes I can see now, thank you for opening my eyes to how hard working and wonderful this lady is. As I have said before. You slamming Pony and myself for airing on an open forum may I add, our thoughts and views regarding a certain subject. Obviously, I am not that uneducated that I expect everyone to understand what I am saying or even to agree with me. Although these are my views, my opinions and also my thoughts and beliefs. Therefore if they are wrong, so be it, although I am not going to be told they are wrong by someone who I have already said, is bullying their way around telling me that these are wrong. they are not wrong, they are my opinions, I am an adult who is able to make judgements of my own and form my own opinions. Thank you.

I just believe Pete_jim that you are the one in the wrong here. HOW DARE YOU tell someone that because they have had the front to air their veiws and opinions over a subject that they either feel a) strongly about or b) may have a concern and disliking about, that they are in the wrong. Not one person who has cast any issue regarding A4e or even Emma Harrison on this thread are wrong because it THEIR view and THEIR opinion. Regardless of how much you may not like what has been written, this does not constitute you with the right to tell them they are wrong for having beliefs and thoughts. Are all Christians, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh or even Catholic people wrong because of their belief in their faith. No they are not, so get off you soap box with the bullying, arrogant persona that you have have and yes, please give your thoughts and idea's, but dont YOU dare tell people they are in the wrong for what they have put. Oh and the massive hand that Emma had came from the business already being established by her father first. Common knowledge that everyone knows.

lol. Nothing like quoting the whole thing lol. Still never mind. As PonyBabes says Exactly mother dear !!!! lol

Well like I said. I am entitled to my opinion over whether or not I like a person and I most certainly do not like her. making her millions out of other people's misfortune. Mind you, I suppose you have to give her the credit where its due, if it weren't her it would have been someone else, but at least that someone else may have given a S**t. Plus it isn't private or uncommon knowledge as to just how big her house, so please stop telling me I am wrong when in actual fact I may be making slight exagerations. When I say slight, I mean SLIGHT. She may not have a 30 bed mansion but it certainly aint going to be much smaller. Considering previous posts have commented on visiting her there, I think my claims have been jutifiably backed up. :hihi::banana:

well said grafikhaus. I must applaud you whole heartedly. Maybe if the time and effort was put into some sort of training with subastance and an actual qualificatyion out of it, then maybe the reputation of the whole company would have a dramatic turn around. Still neve rmind. I am sure that as long as everyone does not say anything about this, does not have their say or even report this to Jobcentre, even if people's findings were reported to FAM or ALI which is their governing bodies, then maybe that would have more clout than Jobcentre Plus. :clap::headbang:

Well if you were to have a look on the internet for her estate and also if you were to maybe take a look at what Emma's personal welath then maybe you will realise why I put that up on the forum. Yeah granted they may be SLIGHT exagerations, but I very much doubt I am far wrong. Although where she actually is an old converted Private Girls School just outside Castleton. Now I dont think that the building would have been built to have accomodated only 10 people now would it? You do the math. I do have a dislike for this woman, but then again I think there may be a lot of people who also have the dislike if not a greater one for her. Still, I suppose I am entitled to my opinion and if I wish to share on an open forum, then so be it.

she wore an itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini

Iceberg lettuce

for all of the above NO

Ghozer I certainly do not envy you because I am just glad that I have managed to get away fromt here and have completed everything I needed to do and also managed to get a job out of it all. As for the comments aboutt he money thing. I can see where you are coming from there although the money does not get stopped completely, it is merely sanctioned so you have so much taken away from you for not complying with the "RULES". A daily blog would be excellent as people will be able to read a day to day account of what goes off in that nut hole. believe me. I seriously hope you survive this programme because there are many that dont. My thoughts and prayers are with you (even tho I aint religious, I give anything a chance) If all else fails, just get absolutely smashed tonight and saturday and sunday and that way you may forget about the fear. Worked for me lol. Cheap cider, what a joy.

may I add that I hope your elderly friend makes a good recovery and that she is now settled. I know that incidents like this can cause alot of fear in wanting to go out again, but urge them to take the plunge and go outside again. Secondly, the claim aspect does seem fair to me, if the council were to concentrate more on actually making roads and pathways safer rather than charging people for having their Bins emptied or raising council tax bills, then maybe less of these types of accidents will happen. I know it is unfortunate and that alot of people from various ages mange to negotiate their way around, but I just completely have lost all faith in the government and local councils now. I think it is appalling. Make no wonder there is so many people wanting to move away to different countries if this is how the uK treats its residents.

lol, Yeah I can whole heartedly understand why the poor fella cracked up and ended up on happy pills. I think I would have done as well if I am honest with you. It was bad enough being on their for 2 weeks let alone having to be there constantly all day every day. I think i would end up in the loony bin. As for Secret Millionaire, yeah she was on it, and again never did herself any favours whatsoever. I think in the end, she gave away around 5000pound, out of all them millions. lol. What a Joke is she. Still I suppose its not all about the money you give, but the good name it gives you for throwing something at those under privileged people who live in deprived area's. Like a cooker. I know what you mean about the Health and Safety and First Aid Thing. I thought to myself I may as well get something out of this but when I started the First Aid Training I found I had an allergic reaction to the trainer so had to get out of there pretty sharpish lol. Mind you, I suppose it didn't help that he stunk like a tramp living in the sewers or hadn't brushed his teeth in about 7 years. Jaysus I could see what he had to eat everyday for the last 6 years so that just turned my stomach lol. :gag: I must admit, I do think they help some people a little bit and also those who realise just how garbage it is and force themselves to find a job just to get away lol. (I think I have just been artificially inseminated for me to just say that lol) Back to normallity, lets all boycott A4e and go to downing street and have lunch with the prime minister, or at least tea and cakes. I just want a little tug on his hair see if it a wig he wears. If so it looks like him and Emma go to the same place...............The dustbins outside Tony and Guys ..................
