    A few years ago I had to meet with a "security" bod to act as a reference for a friend that was getting security cleared. He did ask about illegal drugs, but my friend had told me he'd already admitted being friends with Mary, Juan and Anna as a student and for me to tell the truth.

    He got the clearence. I guess it's not something they worry about too much. I think they were far more concerned about my friend's christian leanings.
    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

      Did he turn up with a cross on his back?

        KIND OF OFF TOPIC
        I know a guy who got binned from an oilrig when they found traces of spliff in his blood test. Apparently he had a joint the day he came off the rig and the blood test was 2 weeks later. He argued that it wouldn't/couldn't affect his ability to do the job but he still got his cards.

            Spliff stays in your blood stream for quite a long time up to 3 months so it's better to take heroin if you work in an environment where you have to have drug and alcohol tested. Any regularly drug tested prisoner can tell you that.
