Sorry about the edit, this whole thread seems to have had emails on it, but they weren't supposed to be there. We don't allow personal contacts on the site, because of the risk of phishing and possible abuse. This thread is very old, dating back to 2006, and it's a museum piece. Suggest you do a new post, where readers can see it's current.
The idea is that employers contact you through the site and show some credentials, like a website, etc, so you can check them out and make sure they're what they claim to be.
Have you tried the fast food stores? The jobs may not be spectacular, but you get training and some work skills you can use to get other jobs. If you work at it, you can even get management experience.
I did a review of the jobs scene around Newcastle, and there are a few things around, but it's definitely tough.

Your best shot is to talk to the big retailers, or larger organizations with good recruiting systems. They're better organized, and they've got in house training and HR people who have local knowledge. Newcastle City Council might have some ideas, too.
