Just out of college
And on the dole. For some reason they got me a job interview at the Foreign and Commonwealth office in London.
They paid my train fare and it was strongly hinted if I didn't go my dole would be stopped.
Had barely gone far from the little yorkshire coastal village I lived then in so it was quite an adventure.
i had absolutely no experience for the job and was was rather overwhelmed by the three men in formal suits behind a huge desk in a huge formal stuffy wood panelled room.
All went averagely ok until they asked me if something I couldn't answer and completely out of the blue I burst into tears.
And that was it, I couldn't stop and sobbed my way awkwardly through the remainder of the interview.
Didn't get the job of course which I was glad about,
But I did have a great day in London and I stole some toilet paper from them because it has 'property of foreign and commonwealth office' stamped on every sheet

Sounds like a spy job.

I'd have made a terrible spy based on that interview, first interrogation and I'd have been all abloo bloo bloo

That's some classy toilet paper
Imagine working in the sewers and finding a turd wrapped in bog roll with "property of foreign and commonwealth office" written on it?

I'd feel compelled to send it back in a jiffy bag.
