Google hybrid map shot will reveal all you need. Has to be the simplest and most accurate way. Check date of shots though to be certain of latest information.

Yes generally one should obtain permission for that level of draw down. DPA being what it is means you will not get that information from the water authority.

As with all privileged non PD information you will not get the information unless....you had a legal or legitimate reason. Even then it would be by private application, it could take months to find out, which is why I suggest Google Hybrid.

From a man's perspective 29th March 2010 9:11 AM
Don't blame me...I didn't write it

1. Men are NOT mind readers.

2. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

3. Sunday sports it's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

4. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

5. Crying is blackmail.

6. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

7. Yes, and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

8. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

9. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem. See a doctor.

10. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

11. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

12. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

13. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one

14. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

15. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

16. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

17. ALL men see in only 16 colours, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

18. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

19. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing", we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

20. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

21. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine .. Really.

22. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as Football, Sex, or Beer.

23. You have enough clothes.

24. You have too many shoes.

25. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

26. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; but did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

Hi Mike.
The forum is not finished yet but I wrote an article recently about Cv do's and dont's

my Job site is also still in beta but we have a intelligent CV wizard that guides you through writing an appropriate CV for your industry. it is also includes an automated character counter to avoid over run and a automated spell checker.

The main site is not yet on public release but if you want a log in and I can sort one out for you.
CV template wizard

Yes please Stavros...and thank you. Thank you as well Kip. Normally I'd agree with you which is all I have ever done in the past, fit the CV to suit the job. These boys have the mother of all HR Dragons wiping their wee behinds, and unless you get through Dragon Lady, it is a case of they will move on to someone who WILL play hardball with them ...in the way they want.

The work is a walk in the park for me...all I need to do is comply with this request and provide a professional CV.

All

Can anyone help? I need a decent CV by the end of next week. I have an opportunity to do permanent work one day a week as an employee. Money not great but at least it will be steady money to pay some bl00dy bills with.

Is anyone here a professional CV person that could help me? They have requested I provide a 'professional' CV (their words) which should include all relevant information?

Thanks

Mike
Nothing wrong (IMO) Steve with a little spleen venting here and there.

Allegedly we can only afford to pay six out of every ten medical staff in the NHS. Interesting to note that Managers was the largest personnel increase this past few years within same

Six out of ten teaching staff is the same. So we don't have it and we borrow more. This is just two such areas in a total mess. Welfare wise I'd be really specific on dole payouts, unless you had paid into the system for ten years you get nowt, tough titty, get of your ar5e and do something...it is out there.

Blair's Government (if you can be awarded such a title, IMHO) killed us in more ways that one. Encouraging couples to have yet more babies and get well paid for it was a stupid thing to do. Every day we read of stories that a couple with a gazillion kids take more than the average man earns from welfare

Enoch Powell...boy did he know the difference between right and wrong. Soon the inheritance malarkey will kick in and GB will see a mass exodus of peeps leaving these fair shores for pastures new; we may well be one such family to move on at some stage, if nothing else to somewhere a bit warmer.

Methinks it is too late to recover. If this was a privately run business it would have folded eons ago. The lenders may as well wipe off our debt and leave us to it. If we can't pay the loans back (and I keep remembering 'Spooks' when this almost occurred) what will they do? Take us over. helloooo, what is it we have that a lender might want?

When I was made redundant last year i applied for some financial assistance if nothing else to help out looking after Mother (we get
For those old enough to remember Labour of old it is no different now. This is one big mess that generations will suffer for. The Tories will probably get in...maybe or HP if we are unlucky; they will be at the helm for a few years and folks will not like what they NEED to do and will vote this lot back in again...hence why I say our young will so suffer over coming decades.

Budget wise it was about on par with what had been pre-ambled. There is rarely any benefit to the individual. I'd vote for Robin Hood if he stood for election
Smoking Ban 24th March 2010 1:08 PM
You're missing the point guys. If introduced it is to reduce the passive smoke problem from children travelling in the vehicle. Safety on this occasion is secondary to the health content.

It has even been hinted that a ban within the home may one-day be issued. Enforce that then!
