What absolutely brilliant remarks by dad-of-three Michael Grimshaw after his five-year job hunt ended successfully when he obtained employment with Hyndburn Homes (LT December 4).

Just to repeat his comments for those readers who missed them he is quoted as saying he was ‘willing to do anything’ and most significantly ‘I’m a Dad, I should be in work. I’m loving every minute of it’.

Surely that is how every responsible father should feel. I share the frustration he must have experienced and I am pleased for him and with Christmas looming it certainly restored my faith in human nature.
