Sir Clive making a comeback? My very first computer was a Cambridge 32 or something, had a hex keypad to enter the code. Colin On Wed, 8 Oct 2003 12:38:25 +0100, Alan B.

Unlikely that they would be using PIC's I'd have thought...but who knows? More likey these people http://www.pitechnology.com/products.php Very tempting pay, and combining PIC's with automotive applications would just about be my ideal job. However, the cost of living in Cambridge seems to range from very expensive to impossible. Saw a fairly recent documentry that showed that Cambridge have problems getting bus drivers and bin men etc. as they cannot afford to live there.

A stupid question: What should be necessary for a brazilian man to have permission to work in UK?

Depends what you end up working on. I was there for a couple of years, a year on racing (I was writing a RTOS for 5 transputers deadline based on when data was available and had to be available) and then a year doing calibration tool maintance and engine simulation for testing engine controls for the diesel side of the comapny. Racing can be fun but things have to work on Thursday night and you have just under 2 weeks to get the next version ready - can be long hours. Like I say, depends what you end up working on. Was a good bunch of people but I was there about 8 years ago now. -- Veronica Merryfield, somewhere in Cambridgeshire, UK "Constructive laziness is the root of all good engineering" "The best things in life aren't things" Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly. - St. Francis De Sales http://www.dunrunnin.co.uk http://www.greyhoundgap.com http://www.yadvashem.org.il - Everyone should visit ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Rigby-Jones" <RemoveMEMichael.Rigby-JonesspamBeGoneBOOKHAM.COM> To: <spamBeGonePICLIST@spam@spam_OUTMITVMA.MIT.EDU> Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2003 2:16 PM Subject: Re: [OT:]Pic Job in the UK > > {Original Message removed}

>A stupid question: Not really a stupid question, because it is quite a loop to get to work in the UK. >What should be necessary for a brazilian man >to have permission to work in UK? The easiest way is to have a UK born parent or grandparent, which then gives you entry almost as of right. However the grandparent route is getting tougher. Your next best route would be to get a potential employer to sponsor you, but that may be hard. If you seriously want to try to work in the UK you should enquire at the British Embassy to see just what the exact requirements are. >Later to better the english of course ;-) That helps, but in view of the number of immigrants and dialects here almost anything goes. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList TakeThisOuTpiclist-unsubscribe-requestspammitvma.mit.edu

Hi I'm Portuguese and I work in the UK coming to work in the UK is quit hard even when you are part of the EC because is hard to get your qualifications ported to UK qualifications, not do to the UK but do to your own Country of origin ( Portuguese educational system is full of red tape, in the end I just said stuff Portugal and got new qualifications here in the UK. Since then many door opened for me and now I have a very good job doing almost what I always wanted to do. The other problem is language, if your English is not very good will make it harder. I do not want to put you off but is no picnic, I love the UK and is my home now Portugal is just this place I came from and I do not plan to go back but it was very hard in the beginning, my first job was as a cleaner cleaning toilets in a service station... best regards Luis {Original Message removed}

I come from South East London/Kent border area. My Uncle who was a lighterman on the Thames had an engineer who drove from Wales twice a week to Coreys wharf at Charlton, ready for 5am orders; tide willing back at wharf 7pm, and then drove back to Wales. He did this for two years.
