    So that everyone concerned may have the same account: I'm not wearing any trousers! Also my interview went really well. They're going to phone me tomorrow to tell me if I'm successful. If I am, I start a four week try-out period on Monday at £3.50 an hour. If they like me, they'll keep me on for a further three months. If they STILL like me, they'll keep me on for a whole year! If they STILL like me, I'll have a job permanently!!

      @thelastgherkin £3.50 an hour? How did they exempt themselves from minimum wage laws exactly?

        @ceruleanspark Minimum wage for apprenticeships is £2.60 an hour. So £3.50 is actually quite generous.
