Or perhaps it's so the folks in First Class can see the Great Unwashed.

HEY! We're not all posh buggers in First Class, some of us are travelling back from Interviews in Glasgow on expenses so we can claim 1st class and it works out cheaper for a 1st Advance than a Saver Return anyway... ;)

Yes, I was drunk before Carlisle, yes I was sweet talking them on the trolley for excessive levels of booze.

I like your style :D

One can be charming when in a suit and in a very polite and chipper mood, being just camp enough to make her smile, without going so far as to thinking there isn't a chance.

Or was it the style of just putting it on the expenses account for a major Scottish contracting company?

Anyway, the extra space in standard will be heartily welcomed :D

A bit of both, but principally the being drunk by Carlisle bit :)

Was a very poor quality lunch at the Marriott... nowt like greggs
I regularly judge the calibre of assessment centres, interviews and their ilk on the quality of the lunch provided: Sounds like you attended a poor one using my rule of thumb :lol:

Not too bad though if you can get travel expenses for it! :)

Good going on both parts there.

Sadly in my days of interviewing for graduate positions I lived on a line with no First Class!

Has anyone had an 11 car service, which used to be an overcrowded 9 car service and noticed a big difference yet?
