It’s a surprisingly small team with only only two accredited British diplomats.

 

Just to clarify, this is correct but in total there are 24 people in the team at the moment. We're a mix of British, Thai and other nationalities.

Thanks for this. You make a good point about us being the contact point between the British community and Embassy (or perhaps better to say other UK gov departments). We'll have a think about how we can improve our response in this area. And I also agree with you on the pay point! Although we'll have to differ on the question of high-fliers or not, as I joined Consular soon as I could when I finished the Fast Steam programme and hire the best people I can find for my team...

Thanks.I stand corrected on the fast stream point although I think you will probably agree your choice was atypical.

We’ll close this thread to comments on the August interview. Look out for next month’s.
