Advertising the fact on here won't help your cause. There are quite a few Admiral workers who follow the mighty Bluebirds!!

Howevr, in reality there's nowt for you to worry about if you walked out with no disciplinary and they've already offered you the job....

Personally, I'd quiz you on ALL previous employment and your reasons for leaving, but that doen't necessarily mean I'm being negative....just wanting to know the personality and commitment of the person I was employing.

Good luck in the job....

I would imagine that you will be perfectly fine. The AA employ hundreds of people so it is hardly likely that your failure to give 7 days notice registered on the radar.

TBH Admiral are more interested in confirming your experience in the idustry rather than whether you gave the proper notice.
