don't go for the chop Paul. I reckon Colin would see through the wig and deep voice.

A bit of Brut and a hair cut will do nicely.

We would consider other parts of country but we have a need for at least one of the new people to be in the south.

Colin

I think you may be excluding some potentially very good consultants by not accepting those who have gained their experience principally through LFEPA. It's a bit like saying all Scots are exceptionally careful with their money. You can't tar everyone with the same brush.

I think there are many ex LFEPA staff who recognise their shortcomings and are very willing to learn.

needless to say I do a fair amount of work north of the border and I have yet to have Lunch bought for me, Although I am due to go back before xmas, so you never know!!

Shaun, We dont have time for them to learn. They will be required to do CPD, but that is to keep up to date. We need people able to hit the ground running, and who have received suitable training and experience. One may not be able to say that all Scots are mean (though trust me, we are!), but one may comment on the nature of the Scottish education system (which as you know is better than that in England).

I would would agree with both your points there Colin, and to be honest I would prefere I chose where we buy lunch from just incase I'm made to eat a 'pizza suppa' again..........very nice, and healthy to boot!!

Will be in Glasgow Graeme, not sure of date yet, but will be up there in Dec / Feb with a couple of visits to Aberdeen too.

You live near either of these??

Graeme, I will be at the (real) fire service college presenting a fire risk assessment course in December for 3 days. Want to buy me a drink in the fleshpots of Gullane, or we could go mad and go to North Berwick.

Sorry Paul i'm near Edinburgh,don't do much in Glasgow apart from help out the access control crew sometimes.Let me know if you are ever in Town.

Colin-let me know dates and i will pop up.

The course runs 14, 15 and 16 December. We normally drink with the delegates in Gullane or North Berwick.

The Scottish Education system may be better but who would know? Nobody can understand the language.

Paul · « **Reply #27 on:** November 29, 2005, 03:42:25 PM »

It does work both ways though Shaun. I can assure you, if you try giving a presentation to an audience in Glasgow, the guys there appear to have the same problem with my perfectly spoken Mancunian.
