    Hi,

    I've earlier complained about your shops in Liverpool City Centre, Sunderland and Fairfield, and I've now moved back to Walton, and the Summerfield-shop has become a Tesco Metro.
    I don't really like your custommer-support who doesn't let me escalate, etc., so I have waited very long, before I've sent a complaint, but now I think I have to complain anyway.
    Today, (18/8), at around 9 PM, I went to Tesco Walton.

    Five or six boys on bikes obstructed my way, when I went in to the shop.
    The security-guard just stood there, a few meters away, and he didn't tell the boys-crowd to make passage for the custommers.

    So I had to kick some cartoon laying on the ground, to make a noise, to try to make the boys move their bikes.
    Why does the security-guard get his pay?

    To just stand there looking at boys-crowds obstructing the custommers, like an idiot?

    There was even a boy looking at me through the window when I picked up a basket there.
    Tesco was invaded by bike-boys, and the security-guard just stood there like an idiot, and didn't try to break up the congestion.

    Also, this shop has two types of baskets.
    Half of the baskets are Sommerfield-baskets, and half of them are Tesco-baskets.
    So there's always a caos, in the check-out, since these baskets don't mix.

    So always untidy basket-piles at the check-out.
    I've worked as a Shop Manager, and know these baskets aren't that expensive.
    In the chain I worked in, a company came once a year or so, to wash baskets.

    Something unheard of in Tesco, I think, because some of these baskets are really dirty and greasy etc.
    Also, the ailes in this Tesco are to long and to narrow.
    It's always a congestion everywhere.

    I wish this shop could have been more like the Sainsbury's-shop, in Rice Lane.
    It's really a much better shop in almost every way.
    Except for that the prices are a bit lower at Tesco for nudles, etc.

    Also, no self-service check-outs, in this shop, which other Tesco Metro has.
    It's fine with a Tesco Metro, but here you have put a Tesco Metro into an ordinary Sommerfields-shop, I think, and it doesn't really fit in.

    So custommers get stressed shopping in this shop, I think.
    How about making it bigger?

    Hi,

    there's also a complaint 5.
    I contacted the Jobcentre by e-mail, and then they send me an e-mail asking me to contact them(!)
    It's almost like I have to call them something bad like idiots then, I think.

    Why do these people have a job, while I don't?

    And these people also have power over me.
    If I don't act like I think these people want, then they're going to stop my jobseekers allowance, (like has happened before), so that I can't buy food, etc.

    This is power-abuse, I think.
    Regards,
    Erik Ribsskog

    Hi again,

    other things that almost shocked me, with this jobcentre, (Aintree).
    Was that I went there just to sign-on, today.
    The guy by desk 2, (where I normally go to sign on), starts talking about a 'part-time-job'.

    And don't let me sign on.
    I have to sit and wait for the manager to be finished with a meeting.
    So there was an unscheduled meeting, today.
    Instead of answering my e-mails the Jobcentre just grabs hold of me, (like happened at the Jobcentre in Williamsson Sq), when I'm there to sign-on.

    So no agenda for the meeting.
    So I have some more complaints:
    3.

    Jobcentre Plus didn't give me time to prepare for a meeting, (about my businesses), but just grabbed hold of me, when I was there for a regular sign-on-meeting.

    4.
    The Jobcentre-manager, (I think she was, a woman with blonde hair), asked me a personal question, if I had a partner, during the unscheduled meeting. I think this was a strange thing to ask.

    (People on the internet call med 'the refugee from Norway', but the UK don't let me be a refugee, so I have to be an 'EEA-guy').
    Anyway I'm not sure if you are supposed to ask people about (sex)-partners, in Jobcentre-meetings.

    I think Jobcentre Plus goes a bit close, to be honest.

    Best regards,

    Erik Ribsskog

    Hi,

    I've had a small web-shop, for a couple of years now.
    I've updated the Jobcentre about it the whole time.
    Last spring, Mark at the Jobcentre, Williamsson Sq., Liverpool, said the web-shop was a 'hobby'.

    Some time later, I ended up on the Work Programme.
    Ingeus in Sunderland, (where I lived some months, last year), told me to buy a Double Entry Ledger, for the web-shop.

    Ingeus in Liverpool, sent me to speak with Ralph, from Elect, who told me they had no founds for marketing, for my web-shop.
    I've now started self-publishing some books, and at my sign-on-meeting at the Jobcentre, in Aintree, two weeks ago, I explained about some royalties I've got from the books.

    I was told this was a part-time-job, and got some forms.
    Some days ago I was frustrated when filling out the forms.
    Because I now have two small business.
    The web-shop and the books.

    Where as I only had one form.
    I wrote a complaint about that the Jobcentre have been inconsistent, since they call the web-shop a 'hobby', and the books a part-time-job.

    I find this comfusing.

    Today, at the Jobcentre, in Aintree, they got me to write a form, for the web-shop(!), (but not for the books).
    I still find this confusing.

    Now the web-shop, (who has been at around the same size, (a turnover of £20-£100 a month, for a couple of years), is a part-time-job, it seems.

    Why this change all the time?

    Last year the web-shop was a hobby.

    Now it's a business, it seems.
    Was this to get me put on the Work Programme?

    (Which seems a bit un-conventional to me, with business-coaches instead of business-advisors, etc).

    So my complaints are:
    1.
    Jobcentre Plus have changed the label on my web-shop from 'hobby' to 'part-time-job', from last year to this year, (and have possibly wrongly put me on the Work Programme it seems to me).

    2.
    The Jobcentre in Aintree told me today that Ingeus have lots of founds, for businesses.
    Still, Ralph from Elect, (who Ingeus sent me to), told me, (on a meeting at Ingeus), that there no founds for marketing, for my web-shop.

    This doesn't add up, I think.
    Hope you have the chance to look at this!

    Yours sincerely,

    Erik Ribsskog

    PS.

    I send an update to EFTA, since I'm from Norway and have started updating them a bit, about the problems with my web-shop.

    Hei,

    jeg søkte på 'Granum, Rømminga', på Google.
    Også stod det at dere bor i Granum 2, i Rømminga, i forbindelse med noen hundeutstillingnettsteder:

    Skriver også om det her på blogg, forresten.
    Sender også med mitt skjema fra Folkeregisteret.
    Mener du at det er dere som eier det lille to-etasjes huset?

    (Det var soverom for Pia og meg og to stuer, (mener jeg å huske), i første etasje.

    Og mora vår hadde soverom i andre etasje).
    Eller mener du at dere eier den gården, hvor jeg gikk til en gang, og så hu bondekona, som melka kuene og skyfla møkk?

    (Og hva het hu bondekona?.
    Og hvem leide vi av, på begynnelsen av 70-tallet, tror du?).
    Skriver også om det her på blogg forresten.
    Håper dette er i orden!

    Mvh.

    2012/8/18 Irene <irenesoe@online.no>

    Hei i full fart :)!

    Vet ikke hvordan du fant meg for det er svært få
    som vet at eiendommen blir betegnet som Granum. Hva søkte du på eller hvordan
    fant du meg med Granum? Er du medlem i Larvik og omegn
    turistforening?

    Det er riktig at vi eier den eiendommen på Rømminga
    nå.

    Jeg er innflytter, har bare bodd her 8,5 år og vet
    svært lite om de som bodde her før. Vet at det ikke er plass til to-etasjes
    køyesenger i 2. etg. slik det er nå i alle fall. Du må nok spørre f.eks. Ragnar
    Løveseter for å høre mer om historien.

    Jeg har dessverre ikke tid til å svare deg mer nå.
    Skal av sted på jaktprøver med noen hunder og de som blir her da vet enda mindre
    enn jeg gjør.

    Forsøk Ragnar og Gerd Løveseter for å få info. Det
    er deres familie som eide huset tidligere. Vet at en som het Møller har eid
    huset og etter ham legen Høyer Dahl. Vi kjøpte eiendommen av hans barn da han
    døde.

    Mvh

    Hei,

    jeg så på nettet, at dere bor i Granum, i Rømminga.

    Det står på skjemaet fra Folkeregisteret, at jeg bodde der, som
    tre-åring, i 1973.

    Mora mi, Karen Ribsskog, (som døde i 1999), leide et lite, to-etasjes
    hus der.

    Hu hadde skilt seg fra faren min, like før, men ble kjent med Arne
    Thomassen, for hu gikk til diskoteket Hansemann, i Larvik, (for hu var
    idrettsmenneske vel), og flytta sammen med han, noen måneder ut, i 1974.

    Jeg husker at jeg gikk til en gård der, og så ei bondekone, som melka
    kuer og skyfla møkk.

    Men hu lever kanskje ikke lenger.

    Jeg husker ikke hva navnet på dem vi leide av var.

    Men jeg husker at mora mi fikk meg til å sette ut grøt til nissen
    der, på julaften, ved et vedskjul, eller noe, vel.

    Og søstera mi Pia, og meg, hadde også noen barnepiker der, som bodde
    nærmere Nanset, mener jeg å huske.

    Og der vi leide så stod den noen høye barnesenger, som vi ikke var vant
    med, fra Bergeråsen.

    Men så vi leide vel møblert, tror jeg.

    Bare lurte på om dere som jeg så på nettet, at har kennel der, vet
    hvem hva den gården heter, eller hva de vi leide av het.

    Vi hadde en scafer-hvalp der, som het Cora, som vi fikk i 1974 vel,
    og som var aleine der, da Pia og jeg, var hos min fars foreldre, på
    Sand.

    Og den hadde bæsja fælt på gulvet der, husker jeg, i den ene stua, der vi
    leide.

    Uten at jeg skjønte hvordan den hvalpen kunne ha gjort fra seg så
    mye.

    Men den var vel lenge alene der da antagelig.

    Beklager at jeg sender om dette litt på lykke og fromme!

    (Men
    dette er snart 40 år siden, så jeg husker ikke det her så nøyaktig,
    da).

    Mvh.

    Hei,

    jeg skriver enda en oppdatering.
    Jeg så nemlig tilfeldigvis den Tweet 4 Tweet-sekvensen, hvor de prata om meg, på YouTube.
    Jeg hadde ikke på lyden, på PC-en nå, men ifølge de engelske tekstene, (som noen har lagt ut), så sier Jenny Skavlan at jeg både forteller historien min og selger godteri, fra bloggen min.

    Det er ikke riktig.
    Jeg driver en nettbutikk, på sin egen nettadresse, Godteposer.net.
    Men bloggen har en annen nettaddresse, (nemlig johncons-mirror.blogspot.com).

    Så at dette programmet, som er et humorprogram om internett, hvis jeg har forstått det riktig.
    At de skal klare å bomme sånn.
    Hva gjør Jenny Skavlan i et IT-program, hvis hu ikke veit forskjell på en nettbutikk og en blogg, liksom?

    Og Thomas Seltzer sier også at jeg 'skriver hundre sider hver dag'.
    Det er ikke riktig.
    Så dette programmet deres er ikke informativt.
    Det er bare tull og tøys.

    Jenny Skavlan liker ikke logo-en til bloggen min, og sier at 'det lukter psykose'.
    Men jeg er en som har overhørt at jeg er forfulgt av mafian, og har kanskje vært litt i sjokk, siden jeg ikke får rettighetene mine av politiet.

    Her utnevner Jenny Skavlan seg til psykolog og.
    Hu er jo ekspert på alt mulig hu.
    Hu er en besserwisser, vil jeg si.
    Hu mangler dømmekraft, og bakkekontakt, og har ikke noe på skjermen å gjøre, vil jeg si.

    Dette virker som noe spesielt laget fra NRK for å tulle med en flyktning, fra Norge, (nemlig meg).
    Hvordan kan jeg si det?

    Jo, for NRK har ingen informative programmer, om internett.

    Men likevel, så lager dere tulle-program om internett.
    Da er det noe galt, mener jeg.
    Det er greit at Nytt på Nytt tuller med nyhetene.
    Men da har dere først Dagsrevyen som er informativt.

    Hva har dere som er informativt om internett?
    Ingenting.
    Derfor ligner dette Tweet 4 Tweet på en konstruksjon for meg.
    Her er det russisk mafia, eller lignende, som får frie tøyler, av NRK, til å bruke skattepengene på å mobbe flyktninger.

    Charlo Harlvorsen sitter og styrer i underholdningsavdelingen, og mobber meg der.
    Mens Kristin Halvorsen, (kona hans), kødder med meg, og nekter å behandle sakene mine, (siden jeg måtte bo alene som barn, mm., og har mange klagesaker, fra 80-tallet og fram til 2000-tallet), i Kunnskapsdepartementet.

    Her er det mafia og samrøre og det som verre er, mener jeg.
    Dette er skandaløst, og ikke et demokrati verdig.
    Er Norge en mafiastat, lurer jeg nå, etter dette tullet deres.

    Hei igjen,

    jeg har også store problemer med at Kunnskapsdepartementet ikke svarer på mange klage jeg har i forbindelse med utdanning, i Norge.

    Og der har jeg nå måttet sende helt til topps, ifjor, eller noe, til minister Kristin Halvorsen.

    Som ikke svarer.
    Og hvem er hennes ektemann?

    Jo, Charlo Halvorsen, som er sjef for underholdningsavdelingen, i NRK, og dermed også sjef for Tweet 4 Tweet.

    Det lukter nesten litt kommunist-mafia her, synes jeg.

    Er dykk med på den her fislinga?

    Hei,

    noen sier at Tweet 4 Tweet bare gjorde narr av meg.

    Og det er det jeg har skrevet i en klage tidligere, at å tulle litt med Harald Eia, eller andre, som dere har latt bruke programtiden deres tidligere.

    Det må da være en ting.
    Men å bare tulle med folk, som dere ikke har presentert for det norske folk, på en ordentlig måte tidligere.
    Det har noe brutalt og fascistisk over seg, synes jeg.

    Så her forlanger jeg erstatning for tort og svie.
    Det stod i en nettavis, at dere ikke slapp gjennom en eneste klage, ifjor, og dere svarer ikke på e-postene mine.
    Så man kan lure på ka som førehev i Kringkastingsrådet og Kongedømmet.

    Beklager å skuffe deg, men da Thomas Seltzer "skrøt" av deg som forfatter på Tweet4Tweet så er det dessverre ironi, og ikke noe han mener alvorlig.

    Det er tross alt et humorprogram. Om du ikke tror meg kan du jo kontakte ham på mail for å bekrefte det jeg sier.
    Beklager om dette kom som et sjokk på deg. Ønsker deg lykke til med de videre kapitlene i bøkene dine.

    Ingeus in Liverpool, sent me to speak with Ralph, from Elect, who told me they had no founds for marketing, for my web-shop.
    I've now started self-publishing some books, and at my sign-on-meeting at the Jobcentre, in Aintree, two weeks ago, I explained about some royalties I've got from the books.

    Hi,

    I've had a small web-shop, for a couple of years now.
    I've updated the Jobcentre about it the whole time.
    Last spring, Mark at the Jobcentre, Williamsson Sq., Liverpool, said the web-shop was a 'hobby'.

    Some time later, I ended up on the Work Programme.
    Ingeus in Sunderland, (where I lived some months, last year), told me to buy a Double Entry Ledger, for the web-shop.

    Ingeus in Liverpool, sent me to speak with Ralph, from Elect, who told me they had no founds for marketing, for my web-shop.
    I've now started self-publishing some books, and at my sign-on-meeting at the Jobcentre, in Aintree, two weeks ago, I explained about some royalties I've got from the books.

    I was told this was a part-time-job, and got some forms.
    Some days ago I was frustrated when filling out the forms.
    Because I now have two small business.
    The web-shop and the books.

    Where as I only had one form.
    I wrote a complaint about that the Jobcentre have been inconsistent, since they call the web-shop a 'hobby', and the books a part-time-job.

    I find this comfusing.

    Today, at the Jobcentre, in Aintree, they got me to write a form, for the web-shop(!), (but not for the books).
    I still find this confusing.

    Now the web-shop, (who has been at around the same size, (a turnover of £20-£100 a month, for a couple of years), is a part-time-job, it seems.

    Why this change all the time?

    Last year the web-shop was a hobby.

    Now it's a business, it seems.
    Was this to get me put on the Work Programme?

    (Which seems a bit un-conventional to me, with business-coaches instead of business-advisors, etc).

    So my complaints are:
    1.
    Jobcentre Plus have changed the label on my web-shop from 'hobby' to 'part-time-job', from last year to this year, (and have possibly wrongly put me on the Work Programme it seems to me).

    2.
    The Jobcentre in Aintree told me today that Ingeus have lots of founds, for businesses.
    Still, Ralph from Elect, (who Ingeus sent me to), told me, (on a meeting at Ingeus), that there no founds for marketing, for my web-shop.

    This doesn't add up, I think.
    Hope you have the chance to look at this!

    Yours sincerely,

    Erik Ribsskog

    Hi,

    I can try to start again.
    A couple of years ago, I read on the internet that they had stopped selling the Glacier Mints, in Norway, and that custommers in Norway, missed them.

    I was unemployed so I thought I could sell them on QXL, (a Norwegian version of E-bay almost), since I'd found them, here in the UK.
    QXL wanted me to send them a deposit, since I didn't live in Norway.

    I was unemployed, so I couldn't afford to pay the deposit.
    But I could affort to rent a web-hotel, (because One sold them for £10 a year).
    And I found a free web-shop-programme, (osCommerce), on the internet.

    So I started a web-shop, which I explained about, to the Williamsson Sq. jobcentre, which was my local jobcentre then.
    Mark there told me this business was a 'hobby', so I didn't have to explain about it in detail to the Jobcentre.

    Then the Jobcentre put me on the Work Programme.
    Where I got a complaint since I didn't speak Finish.
    I had to move to Sunderland due to problems with my landlord.

    Ingeus in Sunderland told me to buy a double entry ledger, for my web-shop.
    I moved back to Liverpool, this spring.
    I've started publising some old material on my blog, as self-publish-books, with CreateSpace.

    I got around £20 in royalites, for these books, last month.
    I sent an e-mail to the Jobcentre, (which ended up at your office in Sheffield), and agreed to bring this up, at Aintree Jobcentre on my next sign-on-meeting, (which was Thursday, twelve days ago).

    I was told the royalities were a part-time-job.
    Now I wonder why the royalities are a part-time-job while my e-business is just called a hobby.
    I think these are a bit similar, so I don't understand why one is called a hobby and the other a part-time-job.

    Why do the Jobcentre tell me one is a hobby and one is a part-time-job?

    Does this mean I have to fill out forms regarding the book-publishing but not regarding the e-business?

    (I think this seems a bit inconsistent) 🙂

    Best regards,
    Erik Ribsskog

    Hei,

    jeg sender dette til dere og, (siden jeg jo er en norsk statsborger, som bor i EØS, utenfor Norge).
    Som en oppdatering på mine tidligere e-poster.
    Mvh.

    Hi,

    now I got an unsigned(!) letter from the Jobcentre, about the Work Programme.
    I have some questions regarding this.
    It says this programme is for people who have problems doing job-searching.

    But, I've showed my job-seeking-diary, every forthnight, at the Jobcentre.
    I'm even on Ladders.
    But are you ignoring that there has been a finance-crisis?

    And also, why did the Jobcentre call my business a hobby?
    I had a self-employed business, (which you now call part-time-job, it seems), before I went on this programme.
    But the Jobcentre just called it a 'hobby', and put me on this programme.

    What comes to my mind, is the guy at the end of the movie 'Hair', who is being tricked to go to fight in the Vietnam-war.
    Was I set up like that?

    Because I've read that the company providing this programme, (Ingeus), is 'satanic', on the internet.

    When I lived in Sunderland, I got a job that was specially constructed for me, by some private company, it seemed.
    I didn't find that application-process to be transparent.
    I've read that there should be opennes and transparency, in society.

    I couldn't find much of that, to do with that job.
    Slavery and exploitation comes to mind, rather than transparcency.
    Also I went to an Ingeus-meeting, here in Livepool some months ago.

    There were swarming with police-officers outside and inside of the building Ingeus are at now, (after they moved from the Corn Exchange, if I remember it right).
    Also, a fire-alarm was started in the midle of a meeting.

    Without anyone reacting.
    I was told I was going to get to see a business _advisor_, but it turned out to be a business _coach_.
    I've gone to business-school and think this must be something 'new age'.

    And also, like we say in Norway, one should call 'a spade a spade'.
    Here an advicer was really a coach.
    That's not to call a spade a spade, like we say in Norway.

    Also, there were no founding for marketing on this programme.
    (Which was what I wanted advice about).
    I think I've been wrongly put on a satanic/New Age-programme here, it seems.

    Could I rather get to go on a conventional self employed programme outside the Work Programme, please?

    (Since it seems I've been put on the Work Programme wrongly, as part of some plot, or such).

    Hope this is alright!

    Yours sincerely,

    Erik Ribsskog

    Hi,

    a couple of years ago, I spoke with Mark, (I think his name was), at the Jobcentre, in Williamsson Sq., here in Liverpool, about my web-shop.
    He said my web-shop was a hobby, and that I didn't have to explain about it in detail, to the Jobcentre.

    Now recently, I've published some old material, from my blog, (which I started in 2007), as self-publish books.
    I've gotten some royalites from this.
    (Like I've informed you earlier).

    And now, at the Jobcentre in Aintree, they tell me this is a part-time job, and I have to fill out some forms.
    Why is the web-shop a hobby while the book-royalites are a part-time job?

    This is inconsistent and confusing, I think.

    I think the book-publishing should be a hobby as well then, when the web-shop is.
    I do this on my spare-time, and alway show my job-search-diary, at sign-on-meetings, at the Jobcentre.

    So this is something I do after finishing my jobsearch.
    How can one be a hobby and the other a part-time-job?
    I think this is very strange, I think that when you say the web-shop is a hobby, then you have to say the self-publishing is a hobby, as well.

    Hope that you agree with me on this.
    Yours sincerely,
    Erik Ribsskog
