Oh my golly gosh..... the requirement to understand English also seems
to have been left out of the job specification.

The two Chubb guards, of obvious Indian sub-continent extraction, that
I observed on a North Shore service recently had extreme trouble
understanding anything that several well spoken passengers tried to
tell them about a disturbance in an adjoining carriage.
