My interview was on my mother's birthday which was the day of the heavy snow across the UK. I nearly telephoned to reschedule but thought I would 'go for it'. The Skoda had one frozen lock but the other side was OK and I soon scrapped all the snow off. So I cautiously set off having programmed my car 'sat nav' to the company address in Southampton. I new the A27/M27 would be gritted so I just slowly followed all the vehicles in front of me. I logged 4 roadside incidents which were all attended by the AA, RAC and Police. The snow on the roads soon turned to slush and was not too bad. Anyway I was offered one of the jobs. So I am very pleased I made the effort and it obviously impressed the company that I had driven all that way in the snow!
If things work out the manager has offered me long term employment which is what I want.
This is why I am not comming to the Lakes this year.
PS Trev, what car/cars do you drive in Portugal. Can you post a picture!
