Did my test at Preston about two weeks ago and passed. The staff really put me at my ease and were great.
On arriving I was greeted by a stone face lady who commanded me to give her my licence and take off my watch and coat(a please would have been nice), okay bearing in mind I was very nervous and I really struggle in a test environment so I was already shakey. I struggled to unlock my locker as The key was abit stiff to which I laughed at my stuggle. The lady tutted and sneered "you have to actually CLOSE the door to lock it" to which I felt very patronised and embarrassed. I awkwardly laughed and said "what am I like" the lady tutted and mumbled "oh for goodness sake..." then proceeded to help me and said "it's a good job not everyone is like this". I can understand I was perhaps being a pain but I did think the lady was unprofessional and rude and already had me abit worked so I was already at a disadvantage when starting my test. Luckily I passed but I did come out feeling reluctant to see the same lady! I would avoid Preston test centre if you don't respond well to rude people.
Writing on behalf of my Spanish friend Carlos. Who has failed 8 times already and when he turned up to the last one his but was 15mins late and the man behind reception had a go at him and told him he was only allowed half the test time. This is a guy who travels 1 and a half hours on a bus just to try and do his test and some prick decides to be a tw@t about him being a little late. He tried to explain but the guy raised his voice towards him. If anyone there wants to get in touch with us about this matter than please email carlosduartep78@hotmail.com
Appalled to hear whilst waiting in the waiting room one colleague answer the phone to another and discuss by first name another colleague who had been taken in to hospital with a blood clot and was afraid the cancer had come back and the reprecussions of this and how the were having to cover Barrow. This was going on whilst people were waiting to book in when another colleague had to come and attend to customers. Also noted that disabled toilet was out of use.Why also were people not allowed to wear there coats because of pockets etc but at least two test candidates went through with hooded top with large pockets to front which could easily have concealed paper etc in them.
