I've worked there almost 24yrs now, done a variety of jobs. But, this is the 1 I was born to do. Apart from bed tester at Slumberland (other bed manufacturers are available)

Is this determined at interview stage?

If so, i imagine there may be a few people out there who now consider 'bed tester applicant interviewer' to be something of a dream job...

I understand that they place a pea under a stack of mattresses, as a test.

That bedside table is very badly designed.

Also, I fear the fairy story might have been stretching a point somewhat in its desire to reinforce social stereotypes. That would-be princess doesn't need a sensitive arse befitting a royal posterior. She just needed to notice the pea sticking out below the suspiciously tall pile of mattresses.

I'm always reminded of the Round the Horne sketch where Buttercup claims that she is of royal blood and could detect a pea under a mattress, to which J Peasemould Gruntfuttock, in his disbelief, retorts "They could stick a sack of King Edward's under yours and you'ld still sleep like an 'og"...

I was minded to write up the minutes of the last meeting but didn't quite get round to it.

(my brother has a 'round tuit' that he got to prevent such calamaties)

In the absense of any record of the last meeting, is there AOB?

For starters - apropos the whole Your/You're fiasco, writ somewhat larger is the case of the Tour de Suisse flythrough farrago.

The ninth and final stage is a Time Trial tomorrow - wince inducing flythrough can be seen here . The more observant amongst you might notice that a decimal point has gone AWOL, and rather than a quite exceptional TT of 'over 268km' , a distance of 26.8km is in the offing.

Of which ~ 10km will comprise of pure pain.
