I was at a similar meeting at the HO when Ashford International was coming online (no pun intended) The total lack of reality amongst a certain constabulary and various HO spads and civil servants was spectacular.

Thanks for sharing. I think anyone commenting or suggesting this is made up should be reported for a NCHI.

Both my daughter in laws are civil servants with quality degrees - I love them both, but you are frighteningly close to the truth.

Having shared the post, I quote:

“One for three”

“I am dressed and in the office”

“I have a 2:1 from an RG uni”

“I am slightly hungover”

Very good ! This takes me back to a time when Private Eye was funny, and when we used to wait for the ladies to get out of the lift first.

I had that thought, too. Even Tom Lehrer would enjoy it. (He's still alive at 96, if you were wondering - demonstrates the marvellous healing qualities of satire).

"YC: Who invited MI5 into this group?"

That's like asking, "Who invited the cosmic microwave background into the universe?" It's always been there. Pay no attention to that low-level radiation behind the curtain.
