    They didn't mention whether he actually did a good job though. There are plenty of genuine graduates out there who would struggle to run a bath
    His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

      That's what I was looking for.

      They are idiots.

      If he did a good job they should have got him to resign, and made him sign a compromise agreement over his pension to keep quiet about their lack of due diligence.

          Entry test for NHS Taunton:
          "What's an hospice?"
          "Oh, about two gallons?"

            You don't need a degree not to be able to run a bath do you Mordy.

                I bet he has an eco-shed and an Aygo though.
