    Bog roll is like sun cream (in hot weather), and wellies (in the rain), that suddenly becomes worth more than gold in the middle of a long weekend at a music feastival

    Should have nabbed a roll for yourself and stood outside charging £1 a sheet.

    Right then, imagine for a moment you are charged with the task of replacing the bog roll dispensers in an office of about 300 people and removing the shelves on the back walls. Starting point is this; there are dispensers on the side walls of the cubicles and shelves on the back walls containing replacement bog rolls. Surely a logical approach to ensure minimal degradation of service is to first remove the dispensers at the side, then place the new dispensers on the side walls, then fill the new dispensers, then remove the shelves at the back. This approach ensures there is always bog roll available for patrons of the khazis.

    But no, the rather dumb looking young fellow charged with this great responsibility has followed the procedure written on a piece of paper by his numpty manager;
    1 remove all the shelves with the replacement rolls
    2 remove all the old dispensers
    3 place all the new dispensers
    4 fill all the new dispensers

    This causes a period of approximately 3 hours in which there is no bog roll available in the office.
    Now I'm a tester, not an astrophysicist, and I can work out a way of ensuring minimal dispruption to tulipting requirements, so why can't he?

    What an idiot.
    You need to stop trying to compete on price for these gigs.

    Well, either he's one of those extremely clever people who isn't capable of simple tasks or he's an idiot. Maybe I'm being too charitable.
