What a great way to spend Sunday afternoon: filling in a medical screening form and an asylum & immigration form.

I can see the point of both but the latter seems slightly overkill - requiring a passport for someone born and bred in the country.

The medical one is always a delight - that "how many days off in the last two years" always gives pause for thought (10 in four occurrences if anyone is asking). But the real pig of a question is having to list all your past employment - no mean task in itself - and then describe the hazards of each one. As there's no guidance on what constitutes a 'hazard' just how far to they mean you to go? Teaching at a secondary school in Africa - does being eaten by lion count? It wasn't impossible!

Oh well, done now, for better or worse.
