thanks for the reply . a little bit too far north for me unfortunately, but apart from the battlescarred housing estates ,i think your country fantastic . i have been a frequent visitor and edinburgh and fort william are two of my favourite places .
hope your round gets a little nicer ,take care

andy,

Surely you will have to go through RM's official procedure to get a transfer ? ( i thought they were pretty efficient when i used the service 18 months or so ago )

Only pain for me was that i had to go from FT contract in original office, down to 30 hr contract at new office, luckily got FT status back after a few months though...
