The phrase ‘teacher assessed grades’
Hell of a lot of these springing up near me in south Manchester, can't seem to get them down quick enough. Does mean you have to watch out if you're turning into, say, the petrol station that you've checked there's no-one flying down the cycle lane. Also redoing a lot of junctions and crossroads with a new "Cyclops" junctionI seem to recall in Copenhagen they have similar but with a physical kerb where possible between the cycle lane and the road. Incredible really. It makes cycling very safe which is why it's so popular.
As a pedestrian you really have to have your wits about you when crossing !
Applying for jobs and interviews.
If you want a qualified electrician for your vacancy then say it in the job description. If not then anyone will apply.
And if you're conducting an interview then have the respect to try to get to know the candidate applying. They've taken time out of their other job, used valuable fuel and probably had a bad nights sleep worrying about a job interview only to be asked very lackluster questions like "what are your qualifications". Experience is just as valuable as a degree/NVQ.
Useless fuckers.

Clients stood there while you make programming changes to their home.
- "So you want changes x, y, z? Great, I'll programme that, then upload the project and test. Probably take half an hour"
- "That's brilliant, thanks!" *stands 6ft away watching*
Just fuck off and leave me to it! I'll come and get you when I'm finished
Home automation (we install Crestron systems primarily) and then things within that such as lighting, audio visual etc.
It depends, which of your houses/yachts is it for?
My home programming system is called the wife.
I can, she programmes me what to do, and I do itYou can't say that in 2022. Cancelled.

Is that through agencies that will just be trying to get as many applicants as they can?

*Although completely agree and the whole recruitment and interview process in this country needs massively overhauling!
At the risk of sounding like an old fart, in the public sectors at least, it's become quite like exams in that it's assessed quantitatively - does the candidate say the right thing for a question to get the maximum number of points, rather than allowing some flexibility for somebody taking a punt on whether somebody would actually be any good and, for that matter, fit into a team.Far too much emphasis on a particular experience or level of qualification, or examples of competence that somebody has come up with and too little on the actual characteristics needed to perform a role. We've recruited a lot of people over the last 18 months and they've mostly been useless.
Agree - as long as somebody can "do " the job - the next thing should be how they will fit into the team and develop based on the requirement. They maybe brilliant and tick all of the questions, but if they are going to be disruptive, then dont botherAt the risk of sounding like an old fart, in the public sectors at least, it's become quite like exams in that it's assessed quantitatively - does the candidate say the right thing for a question to get the maximum number of points, rather than allowing some flexibility for somebody taking a punt on whether somebody would actually be any good and, for that matter, fit into a team.
Ha bizarrely I read an article yesterday about a bloke who started out as a builder progressed through various nondescript others,then lied about qualifications leading to running two NHS health authorities along with a stint as CEO of a hospice.At the risk of sounding like an old fart, in the public sectors at least, it's become quite like exams in that it's assessed quantitatively - does the candidate say the right thing for a question to get the maximum number of points, rather than allowing some flexibility for somebody taking a punt on whether somebody would actually be any good and, for that matter, fit into a team.

Apparently carried out the roles successfully but ended up in jail .
Now being pursued for approximately £100K proceeds of crime.

Listening to house of fun in Rome?Why do people say "That's a madness"
The drama that people make out of doing a Sunday roast. Like they've done a tour of Afghan or something. Then to top it it off they pour watery gravy all of it
