i put my smart trousers on, that i havent worn since august, and i found a fiver in the pocket.

Never mind the fiver did you get the job?

the fiver is now lost =[ lost it somewhere inside landrover offices today. i will find out in 2-3 days.

Well here's hoping its good news

With the growth is their overseas markets, if you don't get it this time, I'm sure you'll get another chance.

But lets not go there

"lost"..you bribed the bloke with it didn't you....

i wish it were that easy. 1000 jobs there, over 20000 applicants. i have a 1-20ish chance, and i hoped i did my best to make those odds as good as i could make them.

Now who wanted a defender headlight??

I know from talking form employees past and present the temps were the worst for pilfering at one point, toruble is now it will directly affect your long term employment, if JLR lose shed loads on theft, they will shed jobs its that simple.

Ive heard of whole wheel sets being taken, gearbox components, full hifi set ups etc etc.

I think its been clamped down on now in fairness, but tom i will be PM'ing you if you do get it, theres a certain thing i like from there and i dont see many people from there these days not illegal btw.

when i was temping at castle brom jaguar, a guy who worked there for years got caught with three or four boxes of the "leaping cat" badges in his car.
he was flogging them on ebay.

im intrigued now mate, if it involves any kind of escapades that would befit the somalian gulf, them im steering clear.

Just had the call back and they are happy to offer me the job, starting monday at 7am.

I'm happy as a pig in the proverbial.

Well done Tom!

I've applied for a placement there for 12 months starting in July in Mechanical Design.. fingers crossed.

Did you have to declare that time when you threw an imperial mint onto the queens highway?
