Two Scousers worked together and were both laid off at the same time so went to the unemployment office to register and claim what they were entitled to.
When asked what he does the first scouser says "Pant Sticher - I sew the elastic into ladies pants."
The clerk looks up pant sticher and finds it classified as unskilled labour so awards him £75 per week unemployment benefit pay.
the second scouser is then asked what he does "Diesel Fitter," he replies. As this is listed as a skilled job, the clerk awards him £150 per week unemployment benefit pay.
Furious, The first scouser goes back to find out why his mate is getting twice as much. the clerk explains "Pant stichers are unskilled and diesel fitters are skilled."
"SKILL?" he cries.
"I sew the elastic onto the pants, he puts them on and says
"Yeah, dees'll fit er!"
