: Hello there Tony,
:
: No it doesn't really help that much
: mate. What you think you know about
: London probably doesn't even scratch
: the surface, sometimes it's better
: to start knowing nothing at all.
: Once you apply and have your initial
: talk, you’re then required to learn
: the knowledge in 2 years before
: handing back your papers. There are
: schools and books which will guild
: you through this, but this is not
: for the fainthearted as it does take
: over your life. Many people give it
: up so be warned it's not easy
: learning this and believe me that's
: the easy part. Once you start going
: to your appearances and scoring
: that's were it get hard. Overall it
: could take you between 2 and 7
: years. The benefits are you’re the
: own boss so you can work your own
: hours, only determination gets you
: through this, you must be prepared
: to give 100% to pass. Think about
: it, the examiners expect you to know
: 90% of the road (9 miles of charing
: cross), plus thousands of points of
: interest like pubs/ churches/ police
: stations/ schools/ social clubs/
: Hospitals/ theatres/ restaurants,
: they name it you’ve got to get them
: there.
:
: I wish you the entire best mate,
: just letting you know what to expect
: that’s all.
