sorry to revive a dead thread..
Hullo!Thought I'd give this thread a bit of life for a while..just to say that I've got myself a placement for the next accademic year (works different to normal working year methinks). Thanks for all your help, really appreciated it. Just to say that all those still looking for placements, keep trying. One of my lecturers, who happens to work for Rolls Royce training new recruits in 'the way', had a saying - "Anyone who's searching for a placement and works for it will get what they want". Best of luck to you all
(mscar, have you sorted yours as yet? let me know)

P.s. If u wanted to know where I'm working just out of shear interest, I'll tell you if you pm me
