A simple job. I left him in a pub car park to measure the length of two
fences for an outside socket.

30 minutes later he came into the pub (where I was fixing the CCTV and
not drinking) to tell me that his tape measure was not long enough.

What qualifications are needed for the position?

I would have thought O level standards in maths and a science subject
would be a must.

I know the goverment has spent years screwing Britains educational
system up, but one or two must have escaped with some ability to
think?


I assume the tape was 1 cm by X metres?

Show him how to measure a beermat using the width of the tape.

Start a lottery to see if he has the nous to translate the idea to a
more longitudinal measuring approach.
