Bad luck Jacko. 
There's feckall jobs about atm as well.
I'm working at Ford for a couple of weeks (work experience) and yesterday, there was so little to do I couldn't believe it. I was working with like the main tech of the commercial side, and we just had about 5 jobs during the whole day!! Some 'sold' transits to service, a misfire/fuel problem (bloody ECUs) and a van with a clutch problem. The tech said its the worst he'd known it, and it's because the other trades can't get work, so they're not using the vans much and the knock on of that is that they aren't breaking down. I genuinely don't know what to do about getting a paid job atm either, as I was gonna ask if Fords would keep me on after the W/E but if theres not enough work for thier own staff they aren't gonna want any more!! And I'd assume its the same with most other jobs atm.
