is there any public transport which goes from near the train station to the guardian glass plant by the motorway? or should I get a taxi?

From my ageing memory you can probably walk it in around 15 mins.

I am indeed! how did he find it? any tips?

I applied for an engineering vacancy via an agency but apparently they saw my cv and are considering me for another role as well.

he worked as a shift supervisor in what they call the cold end. He got the job through an agency who interviewed him for a few different roles. He lasted about 5 months mainly due to the brutal shifts. Its 2 days each of 8-4, 4-12 and 12-8 and then 2 days off, but the day you finish at 8 is your first rest day.

Pay is good but the turnover of staff is immense, those job ads are up continuosly because they go through staff very quickly.

ah. these are day roles thankfully. the agent described the company as being very american, so I don't really know what to expect.

The agency said that to Andy too but they weren't any different from anybody else that he had worked for before or since really.

Good Luck!

Feckin hell Fitzy... how many years ahve you known me and you still don't know my user name!

Or you just have curry constantly on the brain smile (in between the full Englishes!)

I would say about 25 mins to walk, can't help on the bus routes I'm afraid but would be surprised if they didn't go past it.
