hi Gavin! I'm going to wear a trouser suit (I'm a girl) and not going for white socks either! I'm planning to start after Christmas, if I pass and everything goes as hoped
I already have a medical, have to renew it soon actually... was really easy to get an appointment at Gatwick and the day went smoothly with a nice nurse and doctors, though I was quite nervous as I was anticipating I might not pass... so that doesn't take much time to sort, but have no idea whatsoever about what the bank will require and how long time that will take...
