Yh I’ve got the contract. Filled it all out and sent it but still it’s subject to medical, references and DBS. I’ve done the medical before so I should be ok.

[Mike Tyson]

The only thing I didn’t send was BRASS form and partners Oyester card form and the other TOC discount form.

Perhaps the other questions along with having great psychometric scores was enough. So suspicious in what way.

 

[Roberttown]

Perhaps. I struggled with a lot of q's yet they passed me.
