Its is not an insult it is fact.
Just say for example that I drive my train to Cronulla, my depot is
Central. At Central depot (for this exercise) we don't normally stable
in the sidings but we are still quallified for the yard even though we
haven't been in for, say, a year. Do you think I am going to remember
100% of the shit I'm supposed to know, ie the signal number that the
half pilot staff is on? I don't think so.
