    New grads from top universities ...

    ...are rubbish! Have two in my team now. Got to talking to them in t'pub yesterday and somehow the conversation came round to modern history. Turns out they'd never heard of Franco and the Spanish civil war. Or Tulipmania in Holland. Only a hazy idea of the Great depression - or even the recession of the 90s. I could go on. No wonder the idiots think debt is OK ....
    Hard Brexit now!

      You mean they're erudite (look it up) and knowledgeable. Indeed.

        Debt is ok. Must be, 99.9% of the population has it.

        Not me though.

        Unless you count the endless number of pints I owe people for round-shirking.

              Tulipmania? Has this word been censored?
              If you find this post offensive, please insert "Chan" before and "tho" after, then it should be OK.

                    Any new grad going into IT now must be really stupid. 20 years all coding will be done offshore.
