I waited 20 months to get a job with the police, 7 weeks would have been a breeze.

It only took my ex 12 weeks to get into the RAF, from first applying to going through all the selection and starting training.

I've been thinking about buying a new 1098, but after today, I really don't see the point!

Oh and don't feel bad about the police lot ... I have turned down several jobs/interviews now!!

This man is training to be an MP. He keeps avoiding the question

That, or it's simply too embarrassing to say

I got off at Fratton once...

Anyway, the company I'm working for now took 6 months to reply to my initial enquiry/CV, and that was just to say they had no vacancies! Mind you, they really did keep my details on file, I thought that was just an expression.

And let me guess ... you took one look at Pompy, did an instant U-Turn, got the feck back on the train (rapidly) and out of there - back home as soon as possible?!!?

Took me 18 months to get into Staffs, 6 months after I sent my application form off I got a letter back saying I had passed the papersift, I'd forgotten I'd applied.

Not a speedy process the Police, thousands applying for one job.

I have to say it's a good career, good pension and they have looked after me wonderfully since my off. Best career move I made and worth the 18 month wait.

I had to fill in pages and pages of application forms ... with all sorts of stuff/guff ... they have now invited me for an interview based on that and want me to fill in more forms ...

Talk about red-tape ... that's not a good sign of things to come is it

besides ... I can't work for the rozzers; poacher turned gamekeeper or what!

I thought of applying to the Bill once.Just to see if their supercomputer could remember who I was and tell me to £&ck off.
I dont have a criminal record but I do have a past which led me to be "of interest" to the authorities.I often wonder if that "interest" is still logged somewhere.
