PAS can only tell you what they hear back from the guys (usually only the bad news
) as most of the details you ask are not part of the contract, but don't worry , they won't hide anything from you,I worked for a few agencies, and they really are good folk
but you are quite correct to ask on here, although the response will depend on how many of their guys are ppruners. . . One piece of advice though, last Winter was very severe, they say this one will be worse still, so allow in your budget for "suitable" clothing ( No such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes) Ah well, there is always "Acatraz"
if it still exists.
