I have to agree with Arthur Dent on this particular occasion. Or perhaps more accurately I agree with Marvin the Paranoid Android. And the reason for this is the REED NURSE branch in NOTTING HILL.
I first went to Reed approximately one fucking year ago to register for work (btw the office was in Euston at the time). Firstly this cost me a large sum of money for CRB (which incidentally took over six months), "mandatory training" and a number of blood tests (for which my local hospital charged the princely sum of £100) not to mention two Hep B boosters and another £45 for blood tests for Hep B and C. Add to this numerous phone calls and trips to their office. I estimate in total this comes to £600, add money for hassle and loss of earnings and we are getting towards £10,000 (mostly lost earnings) I think you may therefore appreciate that I am not content living under canvas (not a happy camper to those who are hard of thinking)
So imagine my dismay when this fiasco is almost concluded to get a phone call "I need to discuss something on your application form before I sign off on your file"...and then you wonder why I am extremely angry and irritable.
