to be annoyed that i have been harping on about 'Work for Dole' style Work Placements

[GodzillasBumcheek]

...to anyone who'll not tell me to fark off listen, only to be told by DH that it's only been done in about three towns in England - and that's it!

Is this true?

If it is true then it sure explains the dire number of unemployed persons in this town.

No it's not true, it's been rolled out in at least 3 suburbs of Liverpool at least your DH is talking shite wrong.

the number of unemployed is rising.

LOL @ DH talking shite...he said he might be wrong, as it was told to him by someone else. At least i know i haven't been talking out of my arse posterior all this time!
