Yes, as Mike says, I worked at Autoglass and was dismissed from there (using a Long Knife) and I took a job at Auto Windscreens, which was the position I walked from last week...

By the way, who are you? I saw your location of Nth Lon/Herts - I know most of the guys in that area, so just curious as to who you are? (if you don't mind my prying)

The Glassman

Paul Ralhan - worked at AW (Heathrow and Slough) for about six years; then on to AG (Slough and Reading). During these spells I covered a variety of other branches / depots either on call or for problem jobs / absences.

Six years ago I decided to go alone and started Glasstec (cover North London, Hertfordshire, a bit of Essex and some Middlesex too).

If you fancy having a chat off-line, gimme a call.

I also founded The Automotive Glaziers' Guild - an online support network for automotive glazing professionals. You'll find a lot of good support there from a lot of people who have been through what you're going through now.

If the admins are ok with it, I'll post a link...

Exactly what I was gonna say,
Glassman seems clued up in your game Thrush.

Dangerous Malcolm..

If anyone does employ Thrush can they make it a contractual obligation that he has to cut his hair? Ta.

The Automotive Glaziers' Guild is an online community for those involved in the windscreen services industry. It is currently private (not for public viewing) as we're still building the site and some of this windscreen chat is top secret

I worked for RAC AutoWindscreens, loved it @ the Heathrow branch, good lads, good customers, etc. Moved closer to home (Mitcham branch) as a base fitter and was told I would not do call outs as I was a base fitter. The first week I was put on call outs and had to go to Brixton @ 4:45pm.

I went from Mitcham to Croydon to get the glass, then onto Brixton to fit the glass in pitch black (No lighting supplied by the company) and fucked the job right up as I hadn't done one of these 1/4 glasses before. After finishing the job I got home @ 9:30pm. As soon as I walked through the door, sat down to eat food, I got another call to fit another window. Told them to get fucked as I started work @ 9am and only just got home.

I walked out a few weeks later

Also, if you're used to glass.....

What about fabricator and/or installer of shopfront, curtain walling etc?

Could give you a few pointers on that front.

theres nothing top secret about the glass fitting business come on now You will find data thats only commercially sensitive material can never have a security classification higher than RESTRICTED-COMMERCIAL under national security classifications.

Youd be surprised. with police youd pass the physical no problem, and with practice same for navy/RAF. Only flaw you might have is if BMI is too high you might fail the medical. I was a fat cunt in the navy and got away with it fine as long as i passed by bleep test/1.5 mile run

Fuck off I can't run that far And the only beep test I can do is how many swear words I can utter in a minute

My mate who's only quite recently joined the police said all the fitness requirements there were was Level 5 on the beep test and push and pull 50kg!!!

Anyone could do that, lol! He's a proper fitness fanatic too, so just found it pretty laughable.
