How much to fit a kitchen tap?

[Guy King]

The message from "Dave Plowman (News)" contains these words:

It's inevitable, really. You can't have a whinge about spelling without a tyop or two creeping in.

[Ed Sirett]

Multiple choice. Apparently according to one college, dyslexia runs at twice national average among certain trades.

[Ed Sirett]

You would have to be able to _read_ (and much better than most foreigners could) but you could just about wing it without being able to write sentences. You would need to be able to write relevant phrases though.

So that's about the same as a B.A. degree from a moderately respectable university, going by the dissertations I've proof-read.

"Boiler's fooked" "New one 3500 quid" "Make up your mind quick as I'm off to Ibiza"

[John Rumm]

In a way you would expect dyslexics to be attracted to gas fitting - many of them have very string spatial skill and like 3D problems. So taking appart a boiler and getting all the screws back in the right palce afterwards ought to be a task that comes naturally! ;-)

[Stuart Noble]

You mean "Aybeefa"?

[John Stumbles]

Yup multiple choice. Thumbprint possibly acceptable provided you reach the pass mark, which is 100%
