Guys
your all bleating on about how maddening it is to have to move north.
Here's a thought - why do all trainees have to move south?
To get into this job - some of us have had to move our families south to a more expensive area - for
less money etc.
If your moving north you'll sell your house - make a killing and more than likely be able to afford a bigger nicer house in some of the more affluent areas in ayrshire.
If you don't like that use the money to put your kids into Private school to keep them away from all the local ruffians etc.
The company is to blame not the people of Scotland - so give it a rest and stop whinging about how hard you are done by.

I believe that the Scottish educational qualification in teaching is acceptable in England (my ex is a teacher [its also good for USA/ Canada etc] ) and the law degree is also the same it's just that the law itself is different - bit like Area and Tower ratings (both ATC but slightly different)
Rant over!
