    Perhaps 'bankruptcy' would be seen as highly desirable by them. :confused:

    Hi Rog,

    Presumably they don't keep them, they must be surrendered as and when they've got a reasonable amount.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: Or after the bankrupt has been discharged?:confused::confused:

    Maybe JCS can answer that one!!

    I forgot about ours and only remembered them when I went for a quick look at the Rembrandts and other treasures.:D :D

    They get surrendered within a day or so of being received, even the £1 and £5 ones which you could argue where not worth the time/effort/stamp.

    Do the BR restrictions on working as a spy and other such jobs apply whether you are discharged or not? Looking for career change and MI5 sounds like the place for me :rotfl::rotfl:

    Just looked at the application procedure on MI5's website. They do a "Deep Vetting" of applicants including checks with credit reference agencies! I can't even get a credit card let alone join MI5! "Bond, Premium Bond"

    Might be able to work for MFI though...

    I doubt it - didn't they go BR too???

    Yes you can. You can even join the Police force!!
    I was in the army and I am now in the T.A. but I really don't know where I stand on this so I may well just hand my kit in then no one will be none the wiser, I do know when I was talking to an officer from the legal corps in Bosnia (2001) about debt problems and bankruptcy he mentioned that I would not be allowed to stay in the army should I go bankrupt.
    If anyone knows (before I hand my kit in) the exact ins and outs of this then that would be most helpful.:confused:
