Such contrasting flavours!
One took about 20 seconds to apply for and they took only moments to offer me an interview.
That one resides on an industrial estate on the edge of a relatively featureless market town and its occupants most likely wear mud on their shoes. 
It's probably not all that dissimilar to the job I left in Medway.
The other took at least ten days to apply for and it has taken them several weeks to shortlist me. It couldn't be more different from the other in every way imaginable and I have been invited me to a gloves-off interview at very short notice on Wednesday.
So I've purchased some more train tickets and am trying to work out how much truth to share with Lady McB when I tell her I won't be around for two days next week.
