Conratulations, Dave! What a relief, eh? Now you can really enjoy that last month without feeling guilty or worried.
I suppose the thing to do, work wise, is, now that NX have paid for your qualification, to save up a grand as quickly as possible to buy yourself out and find a Company that's recruiting qualified PCV drivers at a higher rate!
You know where I am when you want to share your amazement and disbelief about what the travelling public get up to!
Off to Brooklands tomorrow so I'll say hallo to Echo Papa for you

Well done on the exam Dave
If you can drive any type of bus all that'll make you a Universal Serial Bus Driver and you can put USB after your name

Thanks for that Ian. I'd considered investing a grand to get out of NX but I still have to take the practicals yet.

Please do say hello to PEP for me. The troops will make a fuss as per
Ah yes Garry.. a Universal Serial Bus driver. I can do that already
Tks Brian. I guess it does seem like it was a breeze but there were many hours of reading involved beforehand. This time yesterday, I hated everything to do with buses and public transport with a vengeance. The thought of reading one more passage nearly drove me to drink!

Still.. that's done with now. Two practical tests left and the training that goes before them but at least I'll be paid
EDIT..
Thanks for that Eddie and Ben too

Rgr on the rudder.. I expected as much

Expect to see some Stryker shots as I know someone not very far from you who took delivery of one this very day!

Least said.. soon is mended

Alison missed the battery charger turning up. She's seen it on the floor but it's just another bit of my junk as far as she's concerned

She DID see today's package turn up but thankfully, it was only the adaptor lead so I can charge the P51 battery up from it

I say nowt to the missus. She says nowt to me.
The house is over run with handbags, shoes and dresses collected from over 10 years worth of obsessive shopping.
I reckon I could wangle another twenty planes at least.
Although joking apart the garage is getting too full now.
