To the trooper have you availed yourself of the search facility sure you will find an answer to your query.

Jimmy Carr`s laugh wrote:The last time I was threatened with this, they didnt actually have any number that was classed as a pass. Im sure I did about 23/24, and got 1 wrong, and they said I failed, it was then I asked for a pass figure and they said they couldnt clarify as they didnt know what it was! Im sure I thought it was about 17, and someone on here said 13? Again not 100% though, it was a while ago, and I dont think they can use the 1 minute test anymore as it was a pointless excercise.

why are u jimmy carrs laugh?

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
