Worst Person for the JobIn a week where it emerges that the new Health Secretary is a fan of the hocus-pocus that is homeopathy, tell us about people who are spectacularly out of their depth in a job. Have you ever found yourself wallowing in your own incompetence? Tell us. (Note: "Name of football manager/politician - nuff said" does not constitute an answer)

Wavy lines back to the 1970sBack when the councils used to run what was laughably described as a bus service in Stoke-on-Trent, it came to light that buses on one particular route weren't stopping to pick up passengers.
The councillor responsible for the Potteries Motor Traction (yes, PMT - insert menstrual jokes here) buses, Arthur Cholerton, showed a complete absence of gorm by allowing himself to be quoted as saying, "If these buses stopped to pick up passengers they would disrupt the timetable."
I'm not criticising Cllr Cholerton so much as whichever wonk in the Stoke-on-Trent Shitty Council press office thought he was an appropriate person to speak to the press, because they mustn't have had a fucking clue what they were doing.

Naaah.Red, and then red-and-yellow from the late '80s onwards.
I used to be amused by the double-decker that had a big ad painted on the back, the slogan of which was "Get There Faster with PMT"...
