Applied on line yesterday. I to was stunned at the two page form. Nothing on the application form to tell them what an all round good egg one is. The "Would my bum look fat in their uniform" part of the application form was as close as they got to finding out anything about the applicant. I can only assume that they have enough people and are purely using the form to sieve out the hundred that do not fit their profile.
i.e No one Welsh, (understandable), Irish or English over xxyears of age who does not eat all the pies!!
