I have a job interview tomorrow, what are the sort of questions that potential employers expect to be asked, I can never really think of anything other than money, hours and courses so any tips appreciated.

Would you ever shag a women with a wooden leg?
When they think long and hard about it and say
"yeah, if she was fit" (which is what most people say)
Reply "I wouldn't, I'd use my cock!".
That'll get 'em interested. You will have their attention.

Never ask about money. But if they ask you what you're looking for, just say "Well, what can you offer me?".

And is it a big company? If not, ask them what the company's plans for growth are. That one always goes down a treat IMO, makes you seem interested.

How as the position arisen, are there opportunities for promotion?, ask questions about the role, and what it entails.

Ask the interviewer
"in your opinion, what is the best thing about working for this company"
Sit back and watch him shit himself.

Interesting....I suspect I won't do a lot of research as I'm not too bothered if I get it or not though

You could ask them if they operate a 'last in, first out' policy.
Could help you make your own mind up, in this day and age.

Is it professional to have a copy of your CV in front of you for when they ask you questions about it or are you epxected to know everything that is on there ?

Nah, that's okay have your CV handy, don't think that's a test at all, use it as a reference.
