"Basically: As I'm unemployed, I've been assigned to enquire at 2 places a week for work in order to get my "job seekers allowance" if I fail to do so then I risk losing any future money. But since they don't check, as they won't have the time too check tens of thousands of people's "claims" they just accept it. I lie, say that I've enquired in such a place in such an area. It works and I get my money. I know it's wrong but it's a flawed system, but once I come back from holiday I'll start looking properly."
