General Broadband Chatter

What on earth is this.
Is it some sort of cult thing.
Surely it should be shunted off to it's own channel.
I go to GBC and Immediately switch off, when I see what comes up.
Incredible it has been ALLOWED to continue for such a length of time.

No one forces you to read threads.

Ignore the ones you're not interested in.

An undefined "this".

Wonderful.

Why didn't you select the "Rant" icon?

A useful service is being provided to a lot of people. Particularly the exchange of helpful information about Openreach contacts, recruitment procedures and so on. All things to do with their lives and careers.

Friendships are also being made, to strengthen when meeting up on courses and possibly later in their new jobs.

I'm pleased for them.

Very well put , if OP does not like it just move on.

The threads are long, but are closed periodically, and they do seem to be serving a purpose for those people, and its useful for everyone else to see the hoops getting recruited involves.

If we were inundated with recruitment drives from several operators and thus similar threads then a broadband/telecoms job discussion would appear.

As for the being annoyed part, probably no more so than the repetition of many other threads with similar topics.

The content of the posts? Seems fair enough to me. It can only help this forum to have more informed posters too.

The look of the board when you first view it? Looks really bad when viewed in expanded mode. If you try collapsed mode, it makes things easier to see ... and, it allows you to ignore threads easily too.

Yes, that thought, wondering if the OP is using expanded mode, occurred to me earlier, then I got into my own problems and forgot.
