Had one pull me up on a grease boot on a bottom ball joint once for a blob of grease on it . You missed that it's split ! I can give you point's for that !! Show me then have you got a rag he says . he wipes it clean and there is a 2 mm Nick in it . So what I said I could not see 👀 under it . it's there . I said where does it say that is an adequate method of inspection in the manual ?? And did you find anything else wrong with it because there play it and I've advised that fault and you missed that I didn't

	You can't "unbreak" the broken,you can only break the unbroken to break the break of the unbroken, for me, you cannot unbreak me, for I am already broken,so you have no need to break the break because I am not unbroken.

The assessment is going to get more obscure and detached from actual physical testing because they are/have run out of poorly worded questions to ask also those setting the questions appear to have little or no knowledge or interest in what actually happens in real world situations in the test bay.
They are all shiny arse civil servants looking after their pensions whilst building little empires.
The new head of DVSA could have scored major brownie points by having a major arse kicking exercise and getting ride of the fcukwits we have to deal with.

If you are wondering why it didn't happen refer to pensions and lack of knowledge/interest!

I 've done better than my boss every time since I've worked for him 1 try and 2 questions wrong for last one . however I found it challenging going from manual to testers guide . it must have been hard for testers who are dyslexic

The old school VE s were better like Bob Stewart Tony hicks and Alvin stardust in my humble opinion !! Bob pulled me on a corroded brake pipe that I'd failed Peugeot 309 ( we saw him 4 times a year because we tested taxis for the council ) I think you should have passed that Ronnie ! I bet to differ bob . he then gets out his pen knife 🔪 and starts picking at it then Pop !!! fooking hell Bob it's LEAKING now ! That car had a brake pedal before you butched it what do I tell the customer ? It popped on my RBT or you broke it and she will have to leave it overnight so I can fix it ?

	You can't "unbreak" the broken,you can only break the unbroken to break the break of the unbroken, for me, you cannot unbreak me, for I am already broken,so you have no need to break the break because I am not unbroken.
