Hi all,
Just a word of advice for people who aspire to be drivers/guards. I had a medical for northern today for a trainee drivers job and was declared fit although I have a very high BMI. The lady taking the medical advised although it was high she could see I was mobile enough and wouldn't have a problem with the mile and a quarter. So don't be put off if you are over the recommended 33 bmi if you feel fit and mobile then you are likely fit enough.
Thanks for all the info to get me to this point, hope this post helps somebody.
