30 out of 120 stewards at the mokneys have been sacked for being to thick.They failed simple tests thought to be suited to 6 year olds.
The questions included circling how many coins make up a pound.
One ex steward said "I cried I`d been there for nine years.Its like I`ve been stabbed in the back".
MK Dons said "We`ve introduced some minimum standards tests". Grin Grin Grin
Read it in the paper this morning and it made me smile all day long. Grin

At first it seemed silly to me, but if someone is incapable of working out which coins make up a pound, then I'm not sure I'd feel good about them looking after 8,000+ people...

Disgraceful way for an employer to behave first they employ people without having any set standards then dispose of the employees without offering support to bring them up to standard, still I wouldn't have expected any better of that lot.

Not exactly a job that needs high standards of numeracy and literacy. But f*** me, to offer support to people that can't work out which coins add up to a pound?? Send them to do a Btec in stewarding at the same time.
B0ll0cks, bet they would know if they had been short changed!
