Maybe time to brush up ye olde CV and look around? :undecided:

Any of the other banks have similar departments that you know of? See what training you can get out them them?

A friend who works at the Didcot power station is rinsing them for all the training he can get and also paying for a few courses himself for when it gets shutdown and made redundant in a few years. He's doing a health and safety course in a few months, costing around £400 he said, which means he can then go and audit companies H&S policies and do consulting etc for a tidy sum.

Just a thought that you might want to change career paths and get some training done now, could work out for the best?

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Was thinking I'd be likely to try to go to college and learn a trade.  Would like to be qualified as a mechanic.  Possibly plastering, something a bit more manual.  With the aim of eventually going it alone when I've enough experience.

Just have to wait and see I suppose  :undecided:

Looks like I'm gonna be getting the boot again! :rolleyes: thought it was all rosy as I'd been selected for promotion. Told just yesterday that I will be going in front of a medical board of survey, and going by the assessors Q's, and my A's, I'm off on medical discharge some time around may. Promotion course was supposed to start on 28th May but has been cancelled today.  :sad: need to really pull my finger out but I really don't know what I wanna do now. What's the next up and coming business/trade to get into fellas, anyone know??

Lloyds changed our contracts  and therefore our redundancy terms shortly before giving us out notice!! (Hbos were much more generous!)

b.t.w best thing I've done is getting out of banking (although whether I say that in a few years??  :undecided:)
