Well, they can’t let it go. I’ve mentioned the ridiculous situation regarding the Workington Theory Test Centre in a number of posts. Most recently, the most incomprehensible logic had been used to decide to keep it open (it runs at a loss, remember, and only does about 3,000 out of a capacity 15,000 tests each year).
The Times & Star can’t resist another dig – more of a case of another spadeful out of the hole it keeps digging for itself – by calling it a “common sense” decision. They wouldn’t know common sense if it cocked its leg against them.
I say again: Workington Theory Test Centre runs at a financial loss. It is only operating at 20% capacity and employs three full time staff (if I remember correctly).
It’s also hard to see why the proposed closure should become such a cause célèbre amongst driving instructors… until you see that the petition was organised by the West Cumbria Driving Instructors Association. Those last three words say it all.
Get one over on the DSA, eh?
