| Summary: | Fifty people sit at desks with their eyes focused on the front of the room. A blond woman in a black suit with hair fixed in a bun says: "Now, pick up the pen from the desk and start ticking all the boxes on the sheet in front of you." They scribble away for about 30 seconds until she says: "Stop. Well done. You've all passed the exam! Come to the front of the room and I'll give you the red stamp for your form. Your pay rise will be reflected in your next salary packet and in your pension as of tomorrow." "Now we'll take some questions from the citizen vehicle." The guide points to a teenager, who asks: "I see you have many receptacles for rubbish. What about Government waste - where does that go?" A woman says: "Ah, aren't they cute?" After a few moments, the tram pulls out of the room. "That concludes today's visit. We hope you enjoyed your magical, mystery tour." |
