Otter
The first post from Northern Ireland! Written in a public library! It smells of damp clothes that were not hung out to dry soon enough!
The interview for unemployment benefit (in old money; "Job Seeker's Allowance" in decimal) was straightforward, and benefit was kindly backdated to the 22nd. The most amusing aspect was the poster of the young, happy family, which some wag had defaced: the child now asks, "Mummy, why does daddy always drink the giro money?".
They weren't very forthcoming with advice on starting your own small business, however. In fact, the interviewer seemed to become reticent when FLAG was mentioned, and mumbed something about visiting LEDU, which is located in a shed in an industrial estate outside town. LEDU's website isn't working right now either.
Oh, and I saw a dead otter on the road today :(
