    I was asking for people's opinions.
    There are actually rules of CVs that vary both by country and sector.

    In every country your CV must be easy to read and not bore the reader.

    In the UK photos are a no-no. In some countries in mainland Europe your CV will be binned without one.

    In the UK age and other factors that can be used to discriminate against you are a no-no.

    In the IT sector you can get away with a CV longer than 2 pages but don't do that if you are a office admin.

    etc.

    Anyway as MS said tell the person to go to that CV talk.

        I arrived at a challenger bank and at the same moment so did the guy with the photo.

        So no - photos are not a no-no.

        Stop being so black-and-white.

        That's Northern's job.

              Only thing to concern me would be no dump facilities. Although I'd be happy to add to the pile until its 'pyramid'ing above the rim.

              Just imagine you're at a music festival.

              Client problem then to poke it all down with a big stick when they sort the plumbing.

                A while back I started at BT in Cardiff - Brunel House. The toilets were so frightening it took me two weeks to pluck up courage to go in. Before that I always used to go back to the Holiday Inn.

                  Go to shop, buy bottled water and hot coffee. Claim expense from your company.
                  Work, thats why they pay you.

                    That the one near Queen Street Station yeh?

                    Posh crappers are near the top of my must-have lists for gigs ;-)

                    (I've got a hatred of cubicle/partition types - much prefer a separate. One toilet at client has a single trap. Ideal)

                      Sounds like you are trying to arrange some kind of CUK, all male, toilet cruisers meet up

                      Really, even after you have followed someone in who has had an iffy ruby, the night before
