And the winner is… weight for it, weight for it

Three of our readers wait in barely contained excitement, wondering if they will win our competition to find the most amusing way of bullying trainees.
Last week the votes piled in. Some were for Helen George, tricked into growing a shag-pile carpet of maggots in ICI’s basement. And some were for Julie Dearsley, who bared her soul to us: yes, she did go and queue at the Post Office for a punch card operator’s licence.
However, in a close three-way fight, the winner is Alex Bailey, who might still be waiting at the Post Office Telecommunications stores today for his ‘long weight’. A worthy winner: not only a classic gag, but a trick that you can all play on your trainees, unless they have prepared for their interview by reading Computing.
Well done Alex! Get in touch, and we’ll send some champagne.
