They could have used the public money on something more suitable and would you put this certificate on your CV.

I used to interview job candidates and would not have taken it seriously
if it appeared on a CV. About as trivial as being able to make a cup of tea or have the ability to get up each morning.

In this age of government "think tanks" why doesn't someone investigate how much taxpayers money is being utterly wasted on frivolous bureaucracy?

And I always wanted to be qualified to have a bar, or am I thinking of the wrong thing?

Yes Alan, I would have thought that being able to go into a bar and order oneself a drink is as good as being able to catch a bus.

Perhaps being able to catch a bus after having a few in the bar would attract a BA(Hons).

I remember an inspector putting his hand on my shoulder one day and saying "next time you nip into the Rose and Crown Take your hat off" Real gent he was.

Love it.
I think if you can catch a bus after visiting the bar and tendering the exact fare would make you a full Professor!!!
In that case E=M....C.....forgot the rest, must be the drink
