    Wow thanks for the fast replies.

    Now to add a twist (doubt anybody would want to do this...)

    But say you are offered a Telephone meeting - but for whatever reason (maybe you would like a coffee) - could you ask for a Face to Face meeting?

    The coffee I was offered in my F2F interview definitely wasn't worth going in for. They serve coffee out of the machine - I was expecting Costa or Starbucks.

    Under a new directive - if your papers have been completed impeccably - the examiner may at some OR offices offer Costa or Starbucks (it was sheer bad luck that 5 Year Plan went to an OR's office that doesn't participate in the new scheme).

    As a general rule of thumb...

    Papers "badly" completed = no coffee

    Papers "adequately" completed = coffee machine

    Papers "well" completed = nescafe

    Papers "outstandingly" completed = costa or starbucks (with optional biscuits - and the permission to "dunk")

    It may have been because I went bankrupt before this new scheme started.
