No mention of an "invitation" (although I am aware that the Poole press release did say "invitation") It's been quite the close season for a U-Turn: Cardiff, Boughen, Schlein and now this.

A higher pay rate/and or closer to home/easier for travel to other things can all be reasons, it's a job after all 🙂
