Do any of the dossers worry about a mortgage? No bank is lending you £200k on the basis of two pockets-full of pound coins!

Also, what do you do if the profit falls out of fruit machines? if MTRs become non-existant? its all very well saying 'then ill get a proper job' but no-one is gonna employ you when they ask "so we see you have been out of work for some time, how have you used this time productively?"

"..oh, i play fruits."

"riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight."

It is harder than you think.....i thought getting a degree would fast track me to a job, but no!

Any decent jobs related to my degree i don't get due to lack of experience and better interviewees......and rubbishy jobs people won't offer me, because they see i've got a degree and smell a rat. I've been asked twice now 'why are you applying for this job when you've got a degree etc' and whatever answer i give to that i miss out. They'd rather have a braindead 16 year old school dropout who might stick around, and can't think for themselves and question their superiors.

This is such a difficult situation, Mortgage companies
would just laugh at your employment, fruits!
I have been a slotter now for 10 years, i gotta mortgage when i was
employed, i could'nt move house unless i got a job, and i
cant get a job cos i bin a 'ghost' for the past 10years, by that
i mean not signing on and not paying NI..etc
PS. i dont consider us as dossers, u gotta b out there earning it!!!!!! :wink:

well at least youre doing SOMETHING I guess. yeah, I suppose you could get a job and a mortgage then quit, bit of a pain and you'll need to have yourself a big deposit AND if your fruit income wains, not only do you lose out on money, but you also lose your home!
