Ill clarify a little for you, one of the village scrotes with whom I had problems for a very long time decided to brick and kick my car when it was parked in the street. After a confrontation I punched him and he rang the Police.


You were very unfortunate, I suspect many people on here would react in a simmilar manner.

What I want to know is did the scrote get his just deserts?

Did the scrote get done for criminal damage?

You'd hope that he did?

If not, then feel proud you stood up for yourself and your belongings, and don't hide the fact.

If everyone let tw4ts like that do that kinda thing we wouldn't be able to do anything to stop them. Clearly Plod care more about a swift punch to the face in retribution, than mindless unprovoked vandalism!

Many people lie on their application forms:

"Are you capable of doing this job?"

"Yes"

Lots of them are civil servants and call centre workers.


Government officials "Are you capable of doing this job?"

ans " sorry , cant answer that until you write it in triplicate,AND bring in your passport, new ID CARD,ECT"

There really is something to be said for putting the village scrote in the stocks for the day with a sign saying what he has done. I kid not.

Cleary with only low end crime/disorder and via a magistrate court.

quick and cheap and probably no less effective then whats available now.

Unless they force you to sign a CRB check form or are told by someone maliciously there is NO way they can find out, your record is your record and your business.

This is a question for you and your conscience alone.

mh, a motoring offence is not a criminal conviction, so you don't have to declare that one.



I know...

But this is the M.O.D we're talking about, and they take awkward pills for a laugh

The form also specifically quoted speeding offences as being declarable..

Just covering myself.

Hi,

A difficult quandry. Unfortunatley again, the honest non-criminal loses out.

The previous posters are quite correct, lying on an application form means that if you are found out you can be sacked immediately, and charges pressed against you.

In all honesty the chances of you being found out are hugely slim. Furthermore (as an employer myself) I know that there are only certain jobs where a company is allowed to ask for criminal records, for example if you were working with under 16's.

If it were me, as the question is specific, it would be lying to answer it in any way than say yes.

Have you thought about leaving the question blank?

I am sure that your application would be considered on what was on the more pertinent details, and it wouldnt be worth their while finding out unless you were shortlisted. If you are called for an interview and *if* they still want an answer (they might not) you will have the opportunity to explain the whole situation. If the employer is anything like me I would commend you for your actions.

Good Luck!
