There was an advert on C5 a moment ago for something called the Red Driving School, it was an advert aimed at recruiting people as driving instructors.<\/p>\n
The voiceover guy said (and I quote):<\/p>\n
“Over a million people a year take driving lessons, and you could be teaching them”<\/p>\n
Wow.<\/p>\n
Does the Red Driving School give its instructors a TARDIS? Because surely, that’s the only way an instructor could teach over a million people a year?<\/p>\n
Let’s see…<\/p>\n
Assuming the instructor works a notional 10 hours a day x seven days a week x 52 weeks a year = 4,368 people receiving one lesson a year.<\/p>\n
Hmmm…<\/p>\n
Let’s go bonkers and assume the instructor works a notional 24 hours a day x seven days a week x 52 weeks a year, what do we get?<\/p>\n
8,736 obv.<\/p>\n
So the advert assumed that the viewing public wouldn’t be able to do simple maths?<\/p>\n
Or it lied.<\/p>\n
You choose.<\/p>\n
