Or a survey where the top favourable choices were: Quite satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied and completely satisfied.
Further thread creep:

I used to teach some customer courses where the satisfaction survey questions were very loaded.

If the purpose of the course was to enable the student to carry out Task 'A', the question read:

How confident are you that you can carry out Task 'A'.

I can carry out Task 'A'.
I think I can carry out Task 'A'.
Maybe I can carry out Task 'A'.
I don't think I can carry out Task 'A'.
I cannot carry out Task 'A'.

No student of course wanted it to go back to his/her employer that he couldn't do his/her job, so the course critiques were always good!

I filled in a post-course survey once. I didn't want to go on the course in question, which I'd told my boss and explained why (basically because looking at the material, I already knew all of it).

Q1: What did you expect to gain from this course?

A1: Nothing

Q2: What did you gain from this course?

A2: Nothing.

The real reason he wanted me on that course was because someone else's budget paid for it, not his, and he was overspent.

I think the most pointless course I've done has to be the one where I took over as the instructor in the middle due to the regular instructor's mother being ill. I got paid too, although that subsequently created a nightmare with the taxman for years.

Llondel, I asked my poster if I could do a particular course "No, you are too senior and experienced'

Four years later both my colleague and I were slated for exactly that course at the same time. As we deputized for each other that was a non-starter but how four years later when didn't want to go!!!!

Might be time to resurrect this thread as it’s not going to plan for Boris, but please not Corbyn :ymsick:
When all else fails, read the instructions.

Corbyn at the head of a mish-mash coalition of the numpty parties looks quite a real prospect.

There would be some 'interesting' cabinet appointments:

An SNP Scottish Secretary
A Plaid Cymry one for Wales
A DUP Norn Iron Secretary
A Green Energy Secretary
Another Green at the MoD
A Monster Raving Loony as Education Secretary
Diane Abbot as Chancellor
Upchuck Immuna as Home Secretary
Salmond as Culture Secretary

Boris is playing a high-stakes game and it wouldn't surprise me if he's still in office at the end of October. If not, then he has at least got a good response to people who blame him for the whole fiasco of the past three years that he was never given a chance to finish his plan so what do they expect?

Surely Sein Fein for Norn.
MRLP would have to be an appointed minister rather than an elected MP.
On that vein, Prince Andrew as Justice.

Another interesting family meeting coming up :D
Boris Johnson's father has told Extinction Rebellion protesters that their work is "extremely important" - less than two days after his son labelled them "uncooperative crusties".
When all else fails, read the instructions.
