In 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)

And thus, government statics were born.
British Rail (when I briefly worked for them) said their timetables were published as 'target figures' and trains were not considered late unti l10 minutes after the timetabel said they were late.
Shinkansen on the other hand were actually 43 seconds (to the clock, not a target figure) late when I researched them.

When my 1738 is "expected 1743" the lady never says "the delayed 1738". Only if its really late.

Mao didn't sieze power. Instead, imagine I said 'Idi Amin'
