In league with the Devil!
After this thread, I think I must be!
I start on Monday at 9:00, the job pays 7K more than the last one, I get a 60 plate Focus diesel.
Unemployed for 4 days!
I am chuffed to say the least
Thanks to everyone for the support

Nice one! Unless working with the Devil is code for becoming a tax inspector!

No, not a tax inspector, a senior estimator with a major main dealer - falling on my feet or what!

So what are you estimating, and what does the dealer sell?
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!

You'll have to trade in your 8 digit calculator for a 10 digit one though if it's a main dealer

Great news Mark - very pleased to hear good fortune has been found.
It's often said redundancy can be a change for good, but it rarely rings true.
Make sure you give that diesel Focus what for too

Bodyshop estimator, and the main dealer has franchises for Ford, Fiat, Subaru, Peugeot, Mazda, Alfa Romeo, Isuzu so I will have access to more
technical info than the average bear!

please please please sit in one and see how it feels using the switch gear. Love driving the g/f alfa but the window switches are in a stupid place i
can't even reach without contorting. Can't see what any of the other switch gear around the wheel is so had to learn it before i drove it.
