Speed kills campaigner wanted!!!

[iguana]

Spotted a job ad in the paper, for a Speed Management Co-ordinator.

The best bit must be "Hundreds of people are killed on the roads each year and speed is known to be the major factor in most cases"

Yet after this rather bold statement they then say "Research has proved that there is up to 7% less risk of a serious crash if drivers reduce their speed"

Hmmm so "most cases" actually means 7% then!! now I'm no mathemetitian (well I can't spell it anyway!!) but that is an interesting interpretation of figures.

So if you want a job where you actually get paid (quite well) to sing the governments line that speed kills, and you get a say in how to persecute the motorist even further, give West Berks council a call and quote ref PT2087

I don't think they'd trust me with that job.

Best bit is Daz you have to use ya own car, I think yours would go down very well

[dazren]

Think I'll cycle to the interview wearing my sandals and casually drop into the conversation that I like lentils and that I'm Ken Livingstones illegitimate love child.

Once I've got the job I can organise closing two or three sections of the M4 to carry out scientific research into the great evil of our time speeding. I will at this stage get the pork out the garage and invite some motoring "experts" from PH to assist in the council's research into this terrible phenomenum. Bluesatin and G'Man spring to mind first I can't imagine why.

Would it be too obvious if loads of PHers applied for it? Oh yes, speed kills. Then when we get the job, down come all the cameras.

Surely thats not true Daz? The love child bit?
Im shocked!

No you are quite correct delta, that bit is a lie can't stand lentils either.

Have some respect geeza!

mmm with this being a local govt job they have to have very strict guidelines on the selection criteria...

All the questions havbe to be the same and they must have a grading structure in place, and can only make the decision on the answers given....


So get a load of PH's in that area to apply... hopefully a few will get an interview, then make sure interviews are a day or so apart... 1st chap goes in gets questions then, takes em back to the others and work out the best responses and get the job....

[superlightr]

Good idea but the PH candidate must undergo training to be able to appear comfortable in brown corduroy jackets with elbow pads, must be able to convince observers that he is completely happy with his/her overgrown bushy beard, and that sandals are completely practical footwear at all times of the year. However the most difficult disguise to be achieved is that of being able to read the Guardian without spewing up the recently eaten meal of lentils and veggie things.

Shall we all apply? Can you imagine their faces when they get to the interests & hobbies section on our CV's.

"Driving my home built 180mph car as fast as I can when I get the chance"



I could use the Ultima for official busines, and then claim back the expences. I love that idea, my application has already gone in.
