They said they haven't said whether it would be worked notice or lieue. Taking the crappy job would make interviews difficult when I would need to keep taking time off for the hour drive back as I'm planning to work closer to home if possible. -- Carl Robson Get cashback on your purchases Topcashback http://www.TopCashBack.co.uk/skraggy_uk/ref/index.htm Greasypalm http://www.greasypalm.co.uk/r/?l=1006553

The price they are there's no real reason to torture yourself with an N/A diesel, surely ? *plastic, really ffs. -- Tony Bond / UncleFista www.bradford7.co.uk Love is like a snowmobile, speeding across the frozen tundra.

I think you know that. What he said. Take the pay cut and start looking for another job. It is way easier to find a job if you already have one because to the potential employer it looks like you are already wanted. Fraser

ISTR he kept it for 2 years, only put 3k miles on it because all his miles were local, and sold it for more than he paid. Didn't let him down once in that time, and only one bit of trouble he had was a hose that popped off the intake between the turbo and the engine. Only took a few minutes to put back on and clamp tighter. -- Carl Robson Get cashback on your purchases Topcashback http://www.TopCashBack.co.uk/skraggy_uk/ref/index.htm Greasypalm http://www.greasypalm.co.uk/r/?l=1006553 |
