Luckily I've not needed to as yet, but its something to remember should my circumstances change. Numan, I trust you'll be investigating this one? 200

Our teams are currently based in West London (Hillingdon and Ealing), East London (Waltham Forest), Slough, Maidenhead, Gloucester, Oxford, Newbury, Medway, Wakefield and Manchester. We welcome applicants who are local to these areas. Handy for many I'm sure, but I'm nowhere near any of them (100 miles to Gloucester is my 'local' one!)

Also added short title descriptions. Please anyone feel free to disagree or suggest alternative titles / descriptions. -Moo, maybe if you always copy/paste the latest one into your OP, newcomers would see it first instead of having to trawl around for it?

Supreme Being Group: Forum Members Posts: 169, Visits: 0	Chris - descriptions might detract from the at-a-glance layout, also it's not such a bad thing if people visit the sites out of curiosity. There's a pub near me which could be described as "slightly dingy but otherwise typical pub with restaurant". Had I not popped in I would never have known that in fact they serve the best all day breakfast in a 10-mile radius! Job-seekers (myself included) need that pro-active element. Moo - Good job on Dennis Phillips, result! Any word on Dickie Branners? "It is like a finger pointing away to the moon. DON'T concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory."

Supreme Being Group: Forum Members Posts: 169, Visits: 0	Umm, how about- Is there an internal disclosure policy? (i.e. are other employees made aware of newcomers with convictions) Do ex-offenders tend to remain in employment as long as anyone else? Have you any success stories of ex-offenders rising through the ranks? "It is like a finger pointing away to the moon. DON'T concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory."

Supreme Being Group: Forum Members Posts: 169, Visits: 0	Hmm, a few. I've tried everything to fix it, not happening. Any coders want to copy / paste the list and take a look? Maybe someone else can spot a "[" out of place or something... "It is like a finger pointing away to the moon. DON'T concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory."
