@ Ldn grrl - do companies in this country get gov't support for hiring someone with impairment? if so I would be putting that in my covering letter - anything that might give you an edge. ;)

I suppose i should try that tip :D
When I worked for the cunting RBS, they took forever getting my disability equipment, even delayed my starting date, and when i started, the relevant equipment wasnt even set up! (eg: fire alarm pager)
