    I have been provided with a one month bus/train/metro pass free of charge to help with travel to and from work, and this can be extended to a second month by telephoning JCP before this one expires.

    They pay for this kind of stuff? Wow! I might be cheeky and ask for something when I sign off next Thursday; I won't get the bus (I don't feel safe on public transport) - I wonder if they'll pay for my petrol ;):D
  • Seems as if I was a bit impatient in finally registering as I got my phone call today for AO in Bham & Solihull. I start 10 August and cannot be more pleased!

    Good luck to everyone else.

    Well done slowpokes. It doesn't matter when you register - everyone is welcome :beer::beer: !!

    I'm imagining that some of the staff/trainers in the JCs are wondering how a strange number of their new starters all seem to know each other already..... ;)

    4 months is quick compared to me and IRC58391.

    Congratulations, about the same time line as me, but I actually heard a couple of weeks ago to start Monday.

    Thanks suicide and sodthis!

    I tried to negotiate a later start date, but he wouldn't budge. :(

    I've had to phone up my signing on JCP to sign off - it's not the same one as where I'll be working otherwise I would've done it on Monday. lol I'm waiting for someone to phone me back.
