\"PintAndrew Jackson had an interview with Greater Manchester Police<\/a> for a job in their IT department. The problem was that he stank of alcohol, and when casually questioned about whether he had found the interview location easily enough, commented that he\u2019d had a job finding somewhere to park.<\/p>\n

Alarm bells duly rang, he was breathalysed after the hour-long interview, and still blew positive. Proper tests even later at Bury police station still gave a reading of 46 mcg (the legal limit is 35 mcg). He had apparently been drinking the night before, though he denied drinking before the interview. He pleaded guilty in court.<\/p>\n

He was banned for a year, and fined \u00a3235. I am assuming he didn\u2019t get the job.<\/p>\n

Definitely an early contender for the 2017 Darwin Awards (that\u2019s my version, not the official ones).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
