Tower of Babel Forum

This topic has less to do with Tower of Babel than a cosmetic zapper, but between the absence of posts recently and the fact I'm rather excited by this news I thought - what the hell!

Three months ago I received a telephone call from Leicestershire Constabulary. At this time I was still working for Thames Valley Police and looking for work in the Leicester area in readiness for a house move. This telephone call said that I had a job, pending security checks, so I was happy to resign from my current post and wait the 6-8 weeks before employment that the check would take. I had to give four weeks notice anyway.

[Note to those people assuming Britain has a unified police force, making transfers between areas simple and easy - ha ha ha ha ha! We wish!!]

I received a telephone call again two days ago. Finally the sloooooow wheels of beaurocracy have turned fully round and come up with the obvious - my check is clear. Why they had to check at all when I'd been working for another police force for two years I don't know.

So, I'm back in work from June 6th. HURRAH!!!
