I drove 400 miles round trip to Dorchester today for an interview. The journey took almost 8 hours, the interview lasted two and a half hours, after I had to perform a ten minute power point presentation. I had previously completed the application form of course and an on line Psychometric test. I thought the interview went well. I was honest, what you see is what you get with me. They smiled and looked at me when we shook hands and said our goodbyes. It’s when they don’t look you in the eye at the end that you know they are not interested. I also think we shared common views which is refreshing. Anyway wait and see, no news will be bad news.
I also have observations to make, some more startling than others, and the startling ones I start to write about here for a start, that is startling in itself I guess, anyway enough starting about the bush , get on with it, ok…….
Dorset, charming county, birth place of the Trade Union movement, the Tolpuddle Martyrs. Dorchester is quaint, surrounded by small villages like Piddle Hinton, Piddletrentthistle and Puddletown as well as Tolpuddle of course, and it occurred to me as I drove along the A35 passed these road signs, that there were bound to be puddles with all this piddling going on !!
Final foot note from our motoring correspondent: Are BMW drivers the worse drivers on the road?? I have a 3 litre V6 Jaguar that if I wanted to could see anything other than Jason Button off the road. The number of times today BMWs were in my rear view mirror forcing there way and guzzling expensive fuel. Now I am no slow coach. I have done taxi driving, got numerous people to airports against the clock, never failed to get people there in no time at all, wooosh it was all a blur. BUT these bad man’s wheels are pathetic, and have no concept of looking ahead driving, and yes it is a sweeping generalisation, but it was too numerous today not to tar the whole BMW range with the same chequered flag. Tomorrow I am going to Halfords to get a rear gunner fitted, dadadadadadada ………………………
