As part of the induction training for one of my new Jobs, I have to have a 40 minute driving assessment in a Ford Galaxy with to many pedals............

I suggested they let me use my car, but no got to be theirs, as these will be the cars I will be using for work; it is years since I drove a manual, I am not worried about it but 3 of us go out for 3 hours so not just the examiner, who I believe is a Police Officer......... There is certainly a Police email address on the info..........

Get a couple of tins of baked beans down you Mike, & tomorrow, just before every gear change let out a 'small but deadly' air change & give 'em all something else to focus their attention on! 
Oh, & don't forget to join in the chorus of...'Whoar, who the f............ did that!'  (wif a Sovern accent of course)

Have I missed something?

Maybe it's just me but I thought that elderly people such as yourself gave up work when they retired.

Nope, it's black with all rear windows fully tinted. Driver and front seat passenger totally sealed off from the rest of the car, save for some vents for air flow.

It was an S Max not a Galaxy, manual..... I thought it drove nicely, once I mastered the clutch, within a few changes; my drive was just about perfect and my commentary was very good..............

Children's 'Secure Transport' some is non secure, so you get a saloon car. The company also provides staff for a number of differing roles, that I could be asked to do.......

I won't be taking the really secure ones, ie the ones that can be hand cuffed, mostly 'Welfare' transport for me. Phil, I applied for a few part time roles, attended a few interviews, as a result I have 7 roles/jobs with 4 different companies / charities. Obviously this is not practical, so will have to let some down - not sure how it will all pan out yet, and I did want the summer off...........
