I've said this for years, i'm sick of people comparing Sunderland to Newcastle, its pointless.

Sunderland need a plan, and not these half arsed things we've seen over the years, the council also need to support local enterprise rather than hinder (Sunniside Live, car parking charges, get rid of traffic wardens etc).

We're seeing shoots now, the Vaux site should act as a catalyst from which to grow local businesses.

I still believe the problem Sunderland has is easy access to Newcastle, the Metro for all its good takes money out of Sunderland.

Yeah I agree. Just concentrate on that part of the town. The likes of over Blandford St want flattening and have just a Smaller and busier town centre.

Another 2,600 on top of that from OVO to be announced at 9am this morning.

Some tough times ahead.

Very concerning.
This is the beginning of a tough period ahead. Lucky to work for a caring business however every business needs to be able to generate income and maintain survival. Some cope better than others.
It’s the school leaving generation right now I feel desperately sorry for with prospects not looking great. Despite all of this we will come out the other side. Best advice only look no further than a week at a time.
 
Lad who works where I do has 6 kids. He’s keep coming in for a week then going off for a week saying the kids have symptoms. He’s barely been here and as far as I know can have no action taken against him. Someone else has just gone off as they’re worried in case they catch something

Aye but try working for them and seeing the shit from the public they have to put up with. I did and nearly every day was told it hope you die’ etc. Spat at the lot. Difficult circumstances and shit clarity from the government
 
Still unemployed. Can't see me getting a sniff of a job until July at the very earliest.
I'm waiting for another spike in the virus so the likelihood of restrictions being lifted are slim.

Thanks a bunch to all the f***ing morons who can't social distance and decided to have a V E Day party

That’s not the reason you haven’t got a job.

It’s still 99.9% tat. If you manage to find stuff then fair play.

Mostly dealing with the worst of society and with the most desperate and frustrated at times like this. Often giving people answers they don’t want to hear.

And it’s comments like this that are just as boring as the people you’re making this remark about

It’s not a situation anyone wants to be in. Sadly for those working there there’s a lot of people trying to get something for nothing and the training/information is very poor for front line employees in JC and phones. Ends up a mess. I used to work on the UC Medical side of the process and the HCPs used to see some unbelievable stuff. People going to the ends of shitting themselves in the waiting rooms to be sent home. Imagine your average young lass who’s broken a leg or something and is there for her medical and having to see that. I seen some absolute f***ing scumbags come through that place.

Or a funeral director.

Actually it's not, have to provide more PPE for staff at a substantial cost, max 10 people are allowed to attend so there's no limousines, catering etc, more people are having cremation without ceremony. So yeah, there are more funerals, they are as busy as ever but they are making a hell of a lot less per funeral.
