Just completed the application. Numeracy test was trickier then the usual 'How many apples do you have if you have 6 and Mary takes 1 away?', especially with the standard windows calculator
I'm wondering if the 'Alton' location they advertise as having vacancies is the same Alton I live near (Alton Towers, Staffordshire) as its only a little village or if its another Alton the other side of the country. If so the closest to me is Birmingham or Manchester which is a bit of a commute for £12k.
Ah well, fingers crossed.

I enjoy doing Mensa quizes and I found them hard with the time limit

I think the time limit made it harder much harder, 2 mins to answer each question with massive paragraphs to read. I didn't even get to the last question on the literacy test and I got an A in GCSE English.

I still got 7 Cs, 1 B and an A though.

I'm not bragging, I just had immense fun smashing shit up and back chatting teachers who were themselves bullied at school and though they could pick on us.
Fucking pricks teachers, up there with Police officers.

I used to be a famous rock star playing to crowds of 2 in a pub.

I cannot get over to you in words on a website how little I cared about learning, not because I was stupid but because laughing all day everyday and smashing things up was awesome.
I remember all the kids like you at my school ... constantly smashing up things, not paying attention, failing everything. I always wondered what would happen to them... I used to chuckle about how one day they'd regret their position and have to live with their shit life...
... Yet you own an Astra VXR and a track corsa and are about to get married to an absolute fitty who likes cars.
Fuck, I should've smashed more stuff up at school and bunked off

Adio/John, Did you get a confirmation email following submission of your application using the online facility?
Is there anyway to log in and check your current status, ie. Application pending review?

No, I didn't receive an email at all. Just got the call this morning which I missed and luckily they left a voicemail.
After booking the hub day the woman said I should receive an email about a week before with all the details and directions.
She said that I completed my application a few weeks ago
