Why not mention this stuff to your boss before he does the checks so it isn't so much of a shock?

because if there is still chance that it doesn't come to light all the better.
i'll take that chance

You should wear a balaclava and a stripey shirt while having the chat, just to lighten the mood.

Seriously, john's right, you'll get points for fessing up, and it's not like the offences themselves would rule you out whereas hiding them will count against you.

as i haven't signed any forms or included info etc, i'm hoping it will be the basic check which is available to anyone.
if so that will come back clear, as my convictions are spent.

Like everyone else has said, it all depends on the type of job going for and the convictions. For example, if you went for a security job, and you raided a bank in the past, no matter how long ago it was, it will cause issues.

If your convictions aren't in anyway related to the job then keep stum and you should be fine.

I have to have a CRB check on a regular basis. I always give mine to the employer.
