I wasn't sure what heading to put this. My grandson is unemployed and looking for a job. Timpsons will dry clean your interview suit for free if you take in proof of your unemployment and your interview letter/email. Still waiting to see if he has the job!
Well done Timpsons ?

Timpsons are brilliant, aren’t they?
Good luck to your grandson, supernansmile

Oh yes, that's an excellent idea!
Hopefully your grandsons suit and himself (of course!) have impressed, and he has got the job.

Timpsons is a family firm with a social conscience and often employs ex-prisoners.

I didn't know that.
Good for them. At least some companies get it right.

Typical of Timpsons. I met John Timpson in one of his shops and told him I was a regular reader of his column in the DT. He’s a lovely man, with the interests of his staff very much at heart, visits all his outlets, and was happy to pass the time of day with a customer. I wish you grandson well, Supernan!

If you can access John Timpson’s Desert Island Discs then you are in for a treat. He and his wife have fostered many children and his support for ex offenders is admirable.
I hope your grandson gets the job, Supernan.

I heard part of that, Parsley on the car radio one day. Wonderful!

I hope your DGS gets the job Supernan
