Some good points up there. Still dismayed that folk are enquiring....
As for the volunteers required for open days etc.... who, amongst those in the system, would really say with conviction that to shell out a huge amunt of cash for a possibility of getting a TR that you will pay for anyway, is a good idea now ?
The "foundation" phase was hiked up a while back, that's before the "bond" which also went up...
It's not a bond, it's a huge lump of dosh you have to give them.
"The industry will pick up..." etc etc "we're looking out for you.." etc etc
The TR contracts with EZY are so grim but folk signing up just keep the spiral going. "Bend me over please...!"
Tough times and all that. Can't take any more cliches (how do you do an
e acute ?!)
