Yeah. Quite agree. Plenty of people don't need to be able to recall and recite Henry VIII's wives' names, their times tables or the tax treatment of gingerbread men to be classed as intelligent. But try teaching that sort of thing, or why you put a sheet down before you trim a hedge, or why you wash your hands before surgery, or why you put the load as much as possible over the tyre of the barrow, or why an earthquake happens, or whatever whatever whatever to ten blacks, ten whites, ten brows and ten yellows. A pattern will emerge. 

 

For anyone joining the conversation now and wondering why Enoch Powell has joined in, read back a few pages to see the context before calling me a racist. Then call me a racist by all means. I'm not but it'll give Dave a few minutes off.

It’s a meaningless accusation thrown around by naive fools nowadays. Saying that the howls of indignation if those words had been uttered by me would have been deafening from the usual suspects. 
In all honesty I don’t overly worry about the opinions of a handful of often anonymous individuals on an internet forum.

Something that I’ve mentioned many many times, the recruitment process “ now privatised” is an absolute joke. The fact we have a recruitment crisis after recently witnessing how the whole process has changed over the years  is no surprise at all.
