There's something about this country

Over lunch, I was reading a section from The Guardian newspaper. I came across an article titled The workers who represent Britain. It sounded interesting, so I started read. I didn't get too far, before I was reminded of something. This is what I read:

"The workers who most embody the spirit of modern Britain are a motley bunch, if a new study by the Work Foundation is anything to go by. According to researchers, the jobs that most define contemporary culture are hairdressers, management consultants, celebrities and managers."

Now, anyone familiar with the work of Douglas Adams will remember those first two groups were amongst the "useless third of its population" sent from Golgafrincham on a space ship that was "programmed to crash-land on a suitably remote planet on one of the outer spiral arms of the galaxy, which happened to be Earth".

I got a kick out of it!
