    Just to add my two pennorth - if a company is asked for a reference, they can't say anything bad if its not true, as you can sue them. They may only give the legal minimum, which i think is just dates of employment (someone else feel free to correct me if i'm wrong!) but they are obliged to give the minimum requirement.

    Good luck to you & daughter at uni - i've got DS1 at Leeds, changing course after 2 years, mum suddenly finds she's going to have to find fees for next year coz he won't be funded - aaargh, why won't he get a job?! thank goodness i'll be DF by then!
