I didn’t know whether to rise to your so-calleds yesterday – it seemed like no-win pedantry, but I’ll have this one.
The ‘Plus’ is in fact the benefits bit, i.e. the old ‘Social’.
The implication now is that you are there to get a job and if you manage to get any benefits well that’s a bonus to be enjoyed by a lucky few.

Feeling more than a bit Unfortunate Gwatkin too, as the post office never got back to me about Xmas jobs, despite loads of ads from them and repeat applications by me thereunto, today I received an email about one single vacancy for a mail sorter, for which they will doubtless get thousands of applications.
So it says you’ve got to click on apply and then you’ll get an email telling you how to apply. Which contains the same link exactly, which sends you another email … which contains …. yes you’ve guessed it…..
