Today I attended my head office for an exam, which is required by all supervisors since our shops are off-sales. I was absolutely dreading it, for no reason other than I hate exams. Don’t get me wrong, I did great with my school exams but I hate the thought of being tested. The day started at 10am and we did a lot of writing, going over obvious things like trading hours that Scottish shops with a license are allowed to sell alcohol (8am-10pm Mon-Sat, 12.30-10pm Sunday if you’re interested) which we all knew anyway, but then it got into the more un-obvious stuff. Anyway, we sat the exam at 3.30pm and I was finished it for 3.40pm. I swear, it was only 25 questions like
‘What technique is not advised by the board to prevent crime in an off-sale?’
- Teach all staff martial arts
- Install CCTV
- Ensure all windows have shutters
- Install an alarm system
I mean, come on! I’d to get 19 out of 25 so I hope that I passed! I’ll find out next week, so here’s hoping.

You stop selling alcohol at 10pm? Oy, people throw fits around here because we stop selling it at 2am! heh.
For some reason, the idea of teaching employees martial arts to deter crime amuses the *hell* out of me.

Yup, all retail shops in Scotland cannot serve alcohol after 10pm. I couldn’t imagine it any other way..
I actually laughed when I read the question about the martial arts thing. Probably not the best thing to do in the middle of an exam, but it amused the hell out of me too.

What’s the answer to that question? Think I would have failed if I sat for the exam. =P
