Amateur Detectives Abound

I wrote recently about how a third-rate Coventry “newsletter” had discovered how to use the freedom of information act to dig out pointless personal facts about private citizens and then start waffling on about them.

Now, another one in Eastbourne, Sussex has learnt how to do it and reports that a female learner from that area has failed for the 25th time. Ironically, it says she suffered “the heartache” of failing – I wonder if they think they made her feel better now they’ve dug it out into the open? They mention the centre involved, and I suspect they are doing everything possible to identify her by name. It’s what newspapers – even pretend ones like this – do for a living.

They go on to mention that 109 drivers have failed at least 11 tests each. They mention that a man has failed 22 times, and another has failed 19 times. They also mention that someone failed their theory test for the 35th time, and that another passed it at the 33rd attempt.

As always, they finish with:

How low can they go?
