Levity!
Who says that El Reg doesn't do levity any more?
If this is true " like all modern government departments, .... its dedicated staff can carry out their duties ..." then we only have old gov't departments.
TBF I did briefly work for the public sector myself, I applied for a permie job which I didn't get but ended up going back to that role as temp'. The poor sod they hired had received far too little training and disappeared on some variety of leave of absence. The hours were fantastic, I left on time every day etc and, hard to believe as it was 1994 not 1894, we had a tea lady with a trolley!
