    Also very true, but I think we are getting side tracked which we have a habit of doing :rolleyes:
    Did anyone hear the item on the radio this evening about the old ground?
    I missed it and would be interested in hearing a summary?
    LOL :D:D

    I agree, we do tend to get side tracked but I feel that if people are going to boycott a business it is no harm to have a full debate on the issues and why a business might act in a particular way.

    I'm not trying to defend any business, I have no vested interests but I feel that hotels are not operating on a level playing pitch at the moment and perhaps some hotel owners are using the internship scheme as a way to cut cost and compete etc. (As I said before I'm not condoning this).

    I think the point made by Maiden was excellent and the best contribution so far as it sums up problem with this scheme.

    When i started looking for a job a few months ago, every job that suited my qualifications were WPP's. I wanted a PAYING job to pay my mortgage etc NOT work placement! I needed work placement when i was 18, not now.
