Red tape like that really makes me shake my head in bemusement.

Despite having obtained a fully enhanced criminal records bureau check, basic disclosure Scotland, Security Clearance, oh and provided a signed copy of my passport when I started my job, a few months ago I had to PROVE I HAD A RIGHT TO WORK IN THE UK!!!!! By providing another signed copy of my passport to our HR department...

I know rules is rules but...whatever happened to the 'real world'?

OK, gets of soapbox.
