You must be kidding...
 
One of the guys in the office just showed me this in yesterday's Sun, I had to check the date to make sure it wasn't April 1st!

Clicky

I'd love to have been in the meeting where this idea was thought up! :lol:

The thing is, in the pic the kid is at least 10 feet away from the bus stop - FAIL!!

Guys guys guys...


To be fair this is just "Unit 1"

In order to progress through the whole course he needs to complete such increasingly difficult tasks as:

- Assembling the correct change for the £1 bus fare
- Sitting in a seat that doesn't already have someone in it
- Not knifing the bloke behind him in the face for asking if he could turn down his mp3 player

NOT knifing him? It's a certificate from somewhere in Bury you know...

Public transport? You can keep it, and your certificates for using it.

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't want to catch 'poor'.

Wasn't it Thatcher that said, "If a man is still riding the bus by age 30 he is a failure."

Talk about preparing kids for the future...

Don't you guys keep up with the times. This government has a mandate to increase the number of qualifications held by school leavers. A target is a target you know, it has to be reached......Of course if he had actually been given a certificate for catching the bus to SCHOOL that would have been worth having.

What shocks me most about this whole thing is that anyone still reads the Sun tbh.
